治心腹痛. 香附子ㆍ良薑等分各炒爲末, 入鹽少許, 每二錢, 米飮調下. 若同炒則無效. 《入門》

Translation

Treats pain of the heart and abdomen. Cyperus and lesser galangal in equal parts, each fried separately and powdered, with a little salt added; take 2 don at a time stirred into rice water. If they are fried together it has no effect. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Hyung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

若同炒則無效 — fried together, it does not work. The two are fried apart so each keeps its own action; this is Yangbuhwan, still prescribed under that name, and the instruction survives with it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
