Major Saposhnikovia Decoction
Daebangpung-tang
한글 대방풍탕 · Pinyin Da Fang Feng Tang
Cut and made into one packet with 5 slices of ginger and 2 jujubes, decocted in water and taken. It dispels wind and orders the Qi, quickens the blood vessels, and fortifies the sinews and bones. **Note on modern practice: a hot, swollen knee with wasting and inability to walk requires urgent assessment — septic arthritis is an emergency and joint tuberculosis is treatable when identified.** Aconite is a regulated toxic medicinal.**
