Translation

Treats fistulous piles, and also treats any fistula. Sophora flower 2 nyang; coptis and tree peony bark 1 nyang each; hedgehog skin 7 don; notopterygium 6 don. Cut up, put into a pig's stomach and sew it shut, boil until soft, discard the medicine and eat the stomach. If it is still hard, take it again, and stop only when the affected place has softened. Or make pills with the same medicines and take them, which is also good. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Hueum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

以患處軟方止 — stop only when the affected place has softened. The endpoint is what the finger finds, not a number of doses, and the chapter sets its endpoints this way throughout. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
