Translation

Treats slippery essence. Lycium fruit, Cherokee rose fruit, hawthorn, lotus seed, lotus stamen, cooked rehmannia, euryale seed, white poria and angelica in equal parts. Powder them, bind with wine-and-flour paste into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take fifty on an empty stomach with warm wine or salt decoction. Where the essence is slippery and the urine turbid, after two or three days the urine is clear as water, the appetite is doubled, and walking is light and strong. — Jeongjeon 正傳 (Donguibogam · Jeong)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Nine medicinals — the nine dragons — and five of them are food: lycium, hawthorn, lotus seed, euryale, and the rose hip. The Jeongjeon's promise is specific: two or three days, the urine clears, the appetite doubles. 便濁, turbid urine, is the sign it clears, and 3.13's white seminal discharge is the same sign under another name. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
