Translation

Treats thought and worry damaging the heart, with vomiting and nosebleed of blood. Asparagus, polygala, white peony, lotus root node, ophiopogon, astragalus, ass-hide glue beads, myrrh, angelica and fresh rehmannia 7 pun each; ginseng and licorice 3 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger, decoct in water and take. — Jesaeng 濟生 (Donguibogam · Hyeol)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Twelve medicinals and every one gentle — the two ophiopogons to moisten, glue and lotus node to hold, polygala to settle the mind. Myrrh is the one surprise, and it is there so that the holding does not become a clot. 思慮傷心, worry damaging the heart, is the same reading as Bokryeongbosim-tang's 勞心 and Yeonsim-san's, and the three formulas are graded by weight: this one the fullest, the plumule the lightest. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
