Translation
Treats one-sided vacuity of yin or yang with spontaneous or night sweating. Astragalus (honey-fried) 2 don 2 pun; dried fresh rehmannia, asparagus, white poria and ephedra root 1 don 5 pun each; angelica 1 don 2 pun; ophiopogon 1 don; schisandra, light wheat and licorice 7 pun each; saposhnikovia 5 pun. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Jinaek) Master Yan's Astragalus Decoction is the same, except that it lacks the one ingredient dragon bone and uses fresh rehmannia instead of cooked.
