Translation

Treats damage by damp with the body heavy, the lumbus painful, the four limbs slightly cold, retching counterflow and sloppy diarrhoea. Red poria and dry ginger 2 don each; atractylodes lancea, white atractylodes and licorice 1 don each; red tangerine peel, cinnamon bark and magnolia bark 5 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger and 2 jujubes, decoct in water and take. — Injae Jikji 直指 (Donguibogam · Seup)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The formula above with cinnamon bark and magnolia bark in place of the clove. The change tracks the indication: where the first treats heaviness and loose stool, this adds lumbar pain, cold limbs and retching, and cinnamon bark reaches the lower burner where clove does not. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
