Translation

Treats qi strangury with the lower abdomen distended and full. Mallow seed and red peony 7 don 5 pun each; aloeswood, pyrrosia, talc, vaccaria and angelica 5 don each; tangerine peel, green tangerine peel, costus and licorice 2 don 5 pun each. Powder them and take 2 don at a time on an empty stomach stirred into a barley decoction. Cut and decocted at 1 nyang, it is called Aloeswood Drink. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Four qi movers — aloeswood, both tangerine peels and costus — among the drainers, for a strangury the Bogam puts down to qi rather than heat. 1.13's qi strangury is the pattern where draining alone fails. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
