Green and Gold Pill

Cheonggeum-hwan

한글 청금환 · Pinyin Qing Jin Wan

靑金丸

The id carries a -gae suffix because the existing cheonggeum-hwan is 淸金丸, a different formula of scutellaria alone from the Haejang; the two names romanise alike. The chapter also carries 淸金丸, whose name romanises identically; that formula is registered as cheonggeum-hwan-gae and this one is distinguished by its section, the cough of food accumulation.

Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治食積火鬱嗽, 刧藥也. 貝母ㆍ知母各五錢, 巴豆霜五分. 右末, 薑汁糊和丸, 靑黛爲衣, 白湯下五七丸. 《丹心》

Translation

Treats food accumulation cough with depressed fire; it is a robbing drug. Fritillaria and anemarrhena, 5 don each; croton frost, 5 fun. Powder them, make pills with a ginger-juice paste, coat them with indigo, and give five to seven pills down with plain hot water. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Haesu)

Clinical commentary 臨床

刧藥 — a robbing drug — is the chapter's own term, set out at 3.15: a drastic preparation that stops a cough by force rather than by treating it, to be used when nothing else answers and not for long. The dose says the same thing: five to seven small pills, where the chapter's ordinary pills go fifty to seventy. The two mother drugs are the same pair as Gamiimo-hwan, and the croton frost here is swallowed rather than discarded. **Croton frost is a violent purgative and toxic. This must not be prepared.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
