Treats rough and frequent urination, which should be seeped out and divided. Alisma 1 nyang; talc 7 don; red poria, white atractylodes, amber and polyporus 5 don each; cinnamon and licorice (mix-fried) 3 don each. Powder them and take 3 don at a time stirred into a jan of long-flowing sweetened water, then press it down with a good meal. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Oryeong-san with talc and amber — amber for the pain of a rough passage. 甘爛水, water ladled and poured until it foams, is the Jingui's vehicle for draining formulas, and the meal after is to hold the medicine down in the lower burner. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
