Engender Yang from the Yin Aspect Decoction

Eumbunsaengyang-tang

한글 음분생양탕 · Pinyin Yin Fen Sheng Yang Tang

陰分生陽湯

In the winter months, adding nutmeg and psoralea is excellent. The source's rationale: the triple burner is the very root and stem from which the lower burner's origin Qi engenders and effuses.

Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治虛勞. 當歸一錢二分, 陳皮一錢, 白朮九分, 白芍藥八分, 蒼朮七分, 甘草五分. 右剉, 作一貼, 薑三片, 水煎服. 冬月加肉豆蔲ㆍ破故紙爲佳. 盖三焦者, 乃下焦元氣生發之根蔕也. 《入門》

Translation

Treats vacuity taxation. Korean angelica 1.2 don; tangerine peel 1 don; white atractylodes 0.9 don; white peony 0.8 don; atractylodes 0.7 don; licorice 0.5 don. Cut the above, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger, decoct in water and take. In the winter months adding nutmeg and psoralea is excellent. For the triple burner is the very root and stem from which the lower burner's origin Qi engenders and effuses. — Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Heoro)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The title is a thesis — Yang is not poured in but grown, from the Yin-aspect soil of blood and center. Six mild herbs tend that soil; winter gets two warm seeds tucked in at the root. Danxi's dictum rewritten as horticulture. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
