Translation

Treats internal damage by raw and cold things with outward contraction of wind cold, and the seven affects stirred to vexation and anger with food lodged, so that the chest and abdomen are distended and painful. Perilla leaf, tangerine peel, atractylodes lancea, cyperus, lindera, chuanxiong, notopterygium, bitter orange, ephedra and licorice 1 don each. Cut up, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger, decoct in water and take warm at any hour. — Manbyeong Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Hyung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Three causes at once — cold food inside, wind cold outside, and anger — which is how the chapter's 1.24 says most heart pain actually arises. The formula treats all three in one packet. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
