Translation

Treats yin vacuity with fire stirring and ringing in the ears. Cooked rehmannia and cuscuta (wine-processed) 8 nyang each; angelica body 3 nyang 5 don; cistanche 5 nyang; cornus 2 nyang 5 don; phellodendron and anemarrhena (both wine-fried) 1 nyang each; psoralea (wine-fried) 5 don. Powder them, bind with wine paste into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take fifty to seventy on an empty stomach with salt decoction. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · I)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Rehmannia and cuscuta at eight nyang each, with the cooling pair at one — a supplementing pill with only a trace of what puts the fire out. 4.4.10's rule is that a phlegm-fire ringing is loud and a kidney-vacuity ringing faint, and this answers the faint one. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
