Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

生漆二升, 蕪菁子三升爲末, 大黃六兩爲末, 酒一升半. 右以微火合煎, 令可丸, 丸如梧子大. 空心下二丸. 十日濁血下鼻中, 三十日蟲皆爛下, 五十日身光澤, 一年行及奔馬. 《得效》

Translation

Raw lacquer 2 seung; turnip seed 3 seung, powdered; rhubarb 6 nyang, powdered; wine 1 seung 5 hop. Boil them together over a gentle fire until they can be pilled, and make pills the size of a firmiana seed. Take two on an empty stomach. In ten days turbid blood comes down from the nose; in thirty days the worms all come down rotted; in fifty days the body has a sheen; in a year one can run with a galloping horse. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Chung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The same formula stripped to four ingredients, and the claims escalate — a year of it and you outrun a horse. The Deukhyo prints both, and the Bogam keeps both. **Contains raw lacquer, which is toxic and a severe contact allergen.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
