Translation

Treats food accumulation phlegm cough. Black atractylodes, 3 nyang; cyperus, 1 nyang 5 don; dry-fried radish seed, trichosanthes seed, apricot kernel and pinellia, 1 nyang each; scutellaria and red poria, 5 don each; chuanxiong, 3 don. Grind to a powder, make pills with a ginger-juice paste, and give fifty to seventy down with weak ginger decoction. — Uihak Jeongjeon 正傳 (Donguibogam · Haesu)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Black atractylodes leading at 3 nyang makes this a damp formula before it is a cough formula, and cyperus beside it a qi formula: the Jeongjeon is treating the accumulation and letting the cough follow. Radish seed is the drug that marks the food cough throughout this part of the chapter — it appears again in Samjayangchin-tang — and it works downward on both food and phlegm. **Contains pinellia, which is toxic in the raw state and must be properly processed.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
