Translation

Treats internal obstruction of the eye got from vacuity and weakness of the spleen and stomach, with the heart fire and the triple burner both exuberant and rising to make this disease. Astragalus and notopterygium 1 don each; ginseng, white atractylodes, cimicifuga, pueraria, Korean angelica and roasted licorice 7 pun each; bupleurum and white peony 5 pun each; saposhnikovia and poria 3 pun each; schisandra 2 pun; dried ginger 1 pun. Cut up as one packet and decoct in water until half gone; then add scutellaria and coptis 5 pun each, simmer again a few boils, strain, and take warm between meals. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Bojungikgi-tang aimed at the eye, and the method of decoction is the point: the two cold drugs go in only after the rest is half boiled and are given a few boils, so that they clear the risen fire without being cooked into the tonic. Dongwon's reading is that an internal obstruction can begin in the stomach — the clear yang fails to rise, a yin fire rises in its place, and the eye is where it lodges. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
