Translation

Treats small intestine qi pain. Aconite main root 1 nyang, steeped a night in a jan of wine with 1 don of blue salt, skinned, the tip removed and baked dry; toosendan flesh 1 nyang, fried black with twenty-one croton kernels which are then discarded; fennel 5 don; a pair of stone-swallow fossils calcined and vinegar-quenched; five mole crickets; mustard seed 1 don 6 pun. Powder them; put 3 don into a sheep's kidney, wrap in wet paper and roast it done; at midnight take half a seung of good wine with salt, chew the kidney fine and swallow it down with the wine, making no sound; the urine flows freely and the disease goes. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Jeoneum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

小便大利其病卽去 — the urine runs freely and the disease goes. The endpoint is a diuresis, which fits the renal colic that 4.6 elsewhere folds into small-intestine qi. **Contains aconite main root and croton, both severely toxic. This must not be prepared.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
