Translation

Treats wind evil dragging at the pupil so that the eye looks to one side.

Clinical commentary 臨床

Nine medicinals and every one of them a seed or a pod — the purest seed formula in the chapter, for an eye pulled to one side. Sour jujube seed and arborvitae seed are the two that do not belong to the eye pharmacy at all; they are there to settle the liver, which is what the chapter holds to be dragging. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
