Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

香附子四錢, 陳皮三錢, 烏藥二錢, 甘草一錢. 右剉作一貼, 入薑三片, 棗二枚, 水煎服. 《濟陰》

Translation

Cyperus 4 don, tangerine peel 3 don, lindera 2 don, licorice 1 don. Cut up, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger and 2 jujubes, decoct in water and take. — Jeeum 濟陰 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Four medicinals in a descending ladder of four, three, two, one don — the proportions are a mnemonic as much as a prescription. The same base as Eokgi-san with lindera in place of poria: this one moves the qi downward where the other settles it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
