Translation

Treats urine the colour of rice-washing water — no more than two doses are needed to heal it. Akebia, talc, phellodendron, red poria, fresh rehmannia, gardenia kernel and licorice root tips 1 don each; bitter orange and white atractylodes 5 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take on an empty stomach. — Manbyeong Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Dojeok-san with phellodendron, gardenia and talc — the heart's formula cooled further and sent down. White atractylodes at five pun keeps the draining from emptying the centre. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
