香附子(製)ㆍ茯神ㆍ甘草 各一錢. 右水煎服.
Translation
Cyperus (processed), poria with pine root and licorice 1 don each. Decoct in water and take. — Manbyeong Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Gi)
Clinical commentary 臨床
Gyogam-dan as a decoction, with licorice added, and its only stated use is to wash the pill down. The two forms of one formula, taken together: the pill lasts and the decoction acts at once. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
