Translation

Treats damp injury with a dysentery like black-bean juice. Pinellia, magnolia bark and atractylodes, 1 don 2 fun each; agastache, tangerine peel and red poria, 7 fun each; costus root, cassia bark and licorice, 5 fun each. Cut up, make one packet, add three slices of ginger and two jujubes, and decoct in water on an empty stomach. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Daebyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The black-bean-juice stool appears twice in this chapter, here and in the opening Wipung-tang, and both times it is read as damp rather than as blood. It is melaena, and the formula — warm aromatics to dry the damp, with nothing haemostatic in it — would not touch the cause. The category is wrong and the observation that produced it is exact, which is the pattern of this chapter's best and worst entries alike. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
