Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治同上. 麻黃根ㆍ牡蠣粉 各一兩, 赤石脂ㆍ龍骨 各五錢. 右爲末, 和勻, 綿裹撲傳. 《得效》
Translation
Treats the same as above. Ephedra root and oyster shell powder 1 nyang each; halloysite and dragon bone 5 don each. Powder them, mix evenly, wrap in silk floss, and pat it on. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Jinaek)
Clinical commentary 臨床
The Warm Powder's partner — astringent minerals where that one used aromatics. Red from the halloysite. Both are patted on dry, and both are still how the tradition treats a sweat that the patient cannot take more medicine for. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
