Coptis in Pig's Stomach Pill for Rigid Center
Hwangryeonjeodu-hwan
한글 황련저두환(강중) · Pinyin Huang Lian Zhu Du Wan
Pill formula, bulk amounts: the powder is sealed into one boar's stomach, steamed soft in a steamer, pounded to a pulp, and rolled into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 70–90 pills with thin rice water. A little refined honey may be added. Same name, different formula (同名異方): distinct from the Uihak Jeongjeon Hwangryeonjeodu-hwan of the center-wasting section — that one pairs coptis with anemarrhena and gualou root; this Deukhyo version pairs it with roasted wheat and hostwood poria, and follows Seokjajeni-tang in sequence.
