Translation
Treats food damage, poor appetite, damp swelling, the four limbs without strength, damage from drink and sex or from excess of labour and idleness, bone steaming with phlegm fire and the like. On first taking it there may be heat, or phlegm purged, or a sense of fullness, or ready hunger; taken long, the body is lightened and the bones strengthened. Atractylodes lancea 1 geun, steeped in rice-washing water with the black skin removed, sliced and dry-roasted; add 4 nyang of white poria, steamed and cut up. Put in ten bowls of water and reduce to two bowls of liquor, straining off the residue; add water and reduce again to two bowls; pound the residue to a pulp, add water and reduce once more, pressing out one or two bowls of liquor; discard the residue, combine all the liquors and reduce again to two bowls; add 4 nyang of honey and reduce until thick, until a drop forms a bead in water. Take two or three times a day, sent down with plain hot water. This medicine's qi is exceedingly powerful, and it travels through both the spleen and kidney channels. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Naesang)
