Translation

Fresh rehmannia 3 mal, boiled to three bubblings over a fire of east-facing reed; add 2 seung of clear lacquer and stir with a vitex stick. When the sun has moved a cheok, add 3 nyang of minium; when it has moved another cheok, add 3 seung of gourd-seed juice; when it has moved another, add 3 nyang of powdered rhubarb. Boil over a gentle fire without letting it scorch, and make pills the size of a firmiana seed. Take one on an empty stomach. In three days turbid blood comes down from the nose; in twenty days all the worms come down; in fifty days the hundred diseases are healed and the face has a sheen. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Chung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The Daoist three corpse-worms of 14.1.1, treated as a parasite. The preparation is timed by the sun moving a cheok across the ground — some two hours a stage — and the lacquer is the active thing: raw lacquer was the tradition's strongest vermifuge. **Contains raw lacquer and minium (lead tetroxide). Both are toxic; this must not be prepared.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
