Translation

Disperses and abducts food and drink — with supplementing, with transforming — not letting the Spleen be damaged. White atractylodes 2 nyang; unripe bitter orange, hawthorn flesh, red tangerine peel, and barley sprout, 1 nyang each; medicated leaven, white cardamom, and aucklandia, 5 don each. Powder the above and bind with cooked non-glutinous rice into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; take 50–70 pills with plain boiled water. — Jimnyak 集略 (Donguibogam · Naesang)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The Jimnyak's mission statement is in the indication itself — 'with supplementing, with transforming, not letting the Spleen be damaged': dispersal that signs a safety pledge. Atractylodes at double rank over its own demolition crew, the two cabinets shaking hands in one jar. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
