Augmented Hidden Tiger Pill
Gamihojam-hwan
한글 가미호잠환 · Pinyin Jia Wei Hu Qian Wan
Pill formula, bulk amounts: powdered and bound with refined honey and boar spinal marrow into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 100 pills as one pleases with warm wine or salted water. Taken in alternation with Jaeumdaebo-hwan above. Note on modern practice: tiger bone (虎脛骨) is prohibited under CITES and U.S. law; contemporary prescribing omits it, commonly increasing tortoise plastron in its place.
