Treats kidney wasting: it downbears heart fire, boosts kidney water, stops wasting-thirst, and brightens the ears and eyes. Phellodendron 1 geun (cut, sun-dried together with the rehmannia); raw rehmannia half a geun (soaked in wine two days, steamed soft and ground to a paste, mixed with the phellodendron and sun-dried); white poria 4 nyang; prepared rehmannia, asparagus root, ginseng, and sweet chrysanthemum, 2 nyang each; twisted scutellaria (wine-fried), Korean angelica, bitter orange, ophiopogon, and broad scutellaria (raw), 1 nyang each. Grind the above, bind with water into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds, and take 70–80 pills with salted wine on an empty stomach. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Sogal)
