Translation

Treats sand and stone strangury with pain as if cut. Talc and gypsum 5 don each; pyrrosia, dianthus, akebia and hollyhock seed 3 don each. Powder them and take 2 don at a time, stirred into a decoction of 2 scallion stalks, a handful of juncus and 2 spoonfuls of honey, on an empty stomach. — Jikji 直指 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

痛割 — pain as if cut. Renal colic, and the Jikji's answer is the slipperiest things in the pharmacy: talc, hollyhock seed and honey, to pass the stone rather than dissolve it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
