Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治砂石淋, 每尿時器中剝剝有聲, 痛楚不堪. 杜牛膝<span class='sochu'>卽虎杖根</span>細剉, 每一合, 水五盞煎耗其四, 留其一, 去滓, 以麝香ㆍ乳香 各少許硏調服之. 《得效》

Translation

Treats sand and stone strangury, where at each urination there is a rattling sound in the vessel and the pain is beyond bearing. Bushy knotweed root <span class='sochu'>that is, hojanggeun</span> finely cut, a hop at a time; boil in five jan of water until four are gone and one remains, strain off the dregs, and take with a little musk and frankincense ground in. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

器中剝剝有聲 — a rattling in the pot. The sound of gravel hitting the chamber vessel, which is how the tradition confirmed the diagnosis. Knotweed root is still used for urinary stones. **Musk is from a CITES-listed species.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
