Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治天行咳嗽ㆍ痰盛ㆍ寒熱. 人參ㆍ桔梗ㆍ五味子ㆍ赤茯苓ㆍ半夏 各一錢半, 枳殼ㆍ甘草 各七分. 右剉, 作一貼, 薑五, 水煎服. ○寒暑之交, 氣盛人衣厚作壅, 忽痰盛微熱, 此藥最宜. 若作感冒發其汗, 必成大病. 此方佳處在赤茯苓能導心熱ㆍ枳殼能踈肺壅, 故易爲效. 《丹心》
Translation
Treats the epidemic cough with abundant phlegm and alternating cold and heat. Ginseng, platycodon, schisandra, red poria and pinellia, 1 don 5 fun each; bitter orange peel and licorice, 7 fun each. Cut up, make one packet, add five slices of ginger, and decoct in water. ○ At the turn of cold and hot weather, where a person of ample qi has wrapped himself too warmly and so becomes congested, and suddenly has abundant phlegm and a slight fever, this medicine suits best of all. If it is taken for a common cold and his sweat is forced, a grave illness must come of it. The merit of this formula lies in red poria's being able to lead heat out of the heart and bitter orange peel's being able to open a congested lung, and so it works easily. — Dangye Simbeop 丹心 (Donguibogam · Haesu)
