Translation

Treats internal obstruction with a screen over the eye. Goat gall, black carp gall and carp gall seven of each; bear gall 2 don 5 pun; ox gall 5 don; musk 3 pun; abalone shell water-ground to a powder 1 nyang. Powder them, bind with a flour paste into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds, and take ten on an empty stomach with clear tea. If there is no black carp gall, three otter galls may be used instead; failing those, one pig gall. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Five animal galls and a shell. Bitter cold gall for a clouded eye is the oldest idea in this chapter's pharmacy and rests on the liver — gall is the liver's own bitter, and the liver opens at the eye. The substitution list at the end is a dispensary note and shows what was actually to hand. **Bear gall and musk come from CITES-listed species and cannot lawfully be traded.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
