Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治虛弱人心脾痛. 人參ㆍ白朮ㆍ乾薑(炮)ㆍ白豆蔲ㆍ縮砂ㆍ丁香ㆍ橘皮ㆍ甘草(炒) 各一錢. 右剉, 作一貼, 薑三片, 水煎服. 入炒過眞蚌粉一錢倂服尤效. 《得效》

Translation

Treats heart and spleen pain in a weak person. Ginseng, white atractylodes, dried ginger (blast-fried), cardamom, amomum, clove, tangerine peel and licorice (stir-fried) 1 don each. Cut up, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger, decoct in water and take. Adding 1 don of fried true clam powder and taking it together is better still. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Hyung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Calcined clam shell added to a warming formula — calcium carbonate, which neutralizes acid. The Deukhyo adds it as an afterthought and it is probably the most effective thing in the packet. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
