Translation

Treats a woman's qi stagnant in the channels from the seven affects and six constraints, with numbness and impediment of the hands and feet. Perilla leaf, tangerine peel, cyperus, lindera, chuanxiong, atractylodes lancea, notopterygium, arisaema, pinellia and Korean angelica 8 pun each; cinnamon twig and licorice 4 pun each. Cut up as one packet with 3 slices of ginger, decoct, and take with bamboo sap and ginger juice stirred in. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Pi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The one formula in the group written for a cause rather than a tissue: numbness from constraint, in a woman, with the seven affects named. Perilla and cyperus head it, arisaema and pinellia take the phlegm the constraint has gathered, and a single angelica keeps the blood in view. Bamboo sap stirred in at the end is for the phlegm heat that constraint turns into. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
