Translation

Treats internal damage of the heat-center type — gathering in the stomach Qi and cooling the flesh and surface.

Cut the above, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger and 2 jujubes, decoct and take. — Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Naesang)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The heat-center formula that answers Dongyuan's fever with Danxi's grains — rice and hyacinth bean in the pot beside the ginseng four, bamboo leaf and lycium bark cooling the surface while the spirit the title names is simply the stomach Qi, gathered back in from its scattering. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
