Extend Life and Secure the True Elixir

Iksugojin-dan

한글 익수고진단  ·  Pinyin Yi Shou Gu Zhen Dan

益壽固眞丹

Pill formula, bulk amounts, with strict crafting rules: no iron may touch the medicinals (不犯鐵); all are pounded to fine powder and bound with a paste of glutinous-rice flour cooked in clear wine, worked through a thousand pestle-strokes into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 2–3 don swallowed on an empty stomach with warm wine, salted water, or thin rice water. If fur-seal genitalia is unavailable, the source substitutes three to five yellow-dog penises, butter-roasted golden. In summer the tianxiong is removed and phellodendron substituted. Forbidden while taking: scallion, garlic, radish, and vinegar; wine and sex should also be moderated. Note on modern practice: tianxiong aconite is a regulated toxic medicinal, and fur-seal parts are prohibited under marine-mammal protections; both are omitted or substituted (per the source's own summer and dog-substitution logic) in any modern reading — the entry stands as textual history.

Clinical commentary 臨床

A Korean 'new formula' that reads like the chapter's own summa — thirty-four medicinals, iron-free crafting, seasonal substitution, a dietary rider, and a promise (返老還童) no smaller than reversing age. Every securing, filling, warming, and settling strategy the preceding fifty formulas developed, bound into one thousand-pestle pill. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
