Translation

Treats the liver receiving wind toxin with the eyes red and swollen, much tearing and drawing pain, and a screen gradually breeding. Chrysanthemum 4 nyang; cicada slough, horsetail, notopterygium and tribulus 3 nyang each; schizonepeta and licorice 2 nyang each. Powder them and take 2 don at a time stirred into clear tea. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Seven medicinals in generous weights — the chapter's plainest wind-toxin powder, with chrysanthemum at four nyang and the cicada-horsetail-tribulus trio behind it. It is the formula to compare against the fifteen-ingredient catalogues: the same idea, four fewer decisions. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
