Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治陰證大小便不通, 數日危急者用之, 非急勿用. 牡蠣ㆍ陳粉ㆍ乾薑(炮) 各一兩. 右爲細末, 男病用女人唾調, 手內擦熱, 緊掩二卵上, 得汗出愈; 女病用男子唾調, 手內擦熱, 緊掩二乳上, 得汗出愈. 蓋卵與乳乃男女之根蔕, 坎离之分屬也. 《海藏》
Translation
Treats a yin-pattern obstruction of both passages of several days in a critical case; do not use it except in an emergency. Oyster shell, aged wheat flour and blast-fried dried ginger, 1 nyang each. Grind fine. For a man's illness mix it with a woman's saliva, rub it hot between the hands, and press it firmly on the two testicles; when sweat comes he is healed. For a woman's illness mix it with a man's saliva, rub it hot between the hands, and press it firmly on the two breasts; when sweat comes she is healed. For the testicles and the breasts are the root and stalk of man and woman, and belong to the division of the trigrams Kan and Li. — Haejang 海藏 (Donguibogam · Daebyeon)
