Translation

Treats wasting-thirst with inability to eat, and also center wasting with easy hungering. Kudzu root 2 don; ginseng, white atractylodes, white poria, agastache, and licorice, 1 don each; aucklandia, bupleurum, bitter orange, and schisandra, 0.5 don each. Cut the above, make one packet, decoct in water and take. — Deukhyo 得效 (Donguibogam · Sogal)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The chapter's central safety rule made into a formula — when the thirsty patient cannot eat, you do not reach for gypsum. Kudzu lifts fluids while the Four Gentlemen quietly rebuild the ground the thirst is draining. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
