Translation

Treats heart pain, that is, stomach-duct pain; one dose stops it at once. Gardenia (fried black) 1 don 5 pun; bitter orange, chuanxiong and cyperus 1 don each; coptis (stir-fried) and atractylodes lancea 7 pun each; tangerine peel, dried ginger (fried black) and licorice (mix-fried) 5 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger, decoct in water and take, abstaining from food and drink half a day. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Hyung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

戒飮食半日 — nothing to eat or drink for half a day afterwards. Resting the stomach is as much of the treatment as the decoction, and the chapter's own 1.32 gives a longer list of what to avoid. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
