Translation

Treats mounting of any kind from damp heat, with swelling, pain and a discharge of water. Bupleurum and alisma 1 don each; pinellia, red poria, white atractylodes, polyporus, hawthorn fruit, gardenia and lychee seed 7 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take. If there is no lychee seed, tangerine seed may be used instead. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Jeoneum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

荔枝核 — the lychee seed, which the tradition sends to the testicle on the resemblance of its shape. The substitution offered — tangerine seed — is made on the same ground, and both run through this chapter. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
