Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

小便濁通用. 大半夏(生)爲末, 以鷄子淸和丸梧子大, 稍乾, 以猪苓夾和慢火同炒, 丸子裂爲度. 留猪苓末養藥, 收貯器中. 以白茯苓煎湯, 空心下三五十丸. 《直指》

Translation

Used generally for turbid urine. Large raw pinellia powdered and bound with egg white into pills the size of a firmiana seed; when half dry, fry them slowly together with powdered polyporus until the pills crack. Keep the polyporus powder with the pills to nourish them, and store in a vessel. Take thirty to fifty on an empty stomach with a poria decoction. — Jikji 直指 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The polyporus is not swallowed — the pills are fried in it and then stored in it, 養藥, to nourish the medicine. Raw pinellia is harsh, and the egg white and the slow frying are what make it tolerable. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
