Translation

Makes drinking not intoxicate, and boosts the Spleen and Stomach besides. Kudzu flower 2 nyang; adzuki flower and katsumada galangal seed, 1 nyang each; mung bean flower and aucklandia, 5 don each. Powder the above and bind with honey into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; take 10 pills with a safflower decoction. For night drinking, swallow 5 pills down with one's saliva — most wondrous. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Naesang)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The connoisseur's entry in the never-drunk cabinet — three flowers against wine, 'the flowering glory of the grain,' with a night-mode dosage swallowed on saliva alone. The Dansim treating the evening cup as its own pharmacological occasion. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
