Two Spirits Crossing Aid Elixir

Isingyoje-dan

한글 이신교제단  ·  Pinyin Er Shen Jiao Ji Dan

二神交濟丹

Pill formula, bulk amounts: powdered; 4 nyang of refined honey is dissolved in four cups of boiled water, cooked with 4 nyang of dioscorea powder into a paste, and the medicinals bound with it into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 50–70 pills with thin rice water. The source unfolds the formula's numerology: the sixteen medicinals stand under the two 'spirit' herbs (hostwood poria and coix), each leading eight — eight nodes apiece, twenty-four nyang in all, matching the twenty-four seasonal Qi that make one year.

Clinical commentary 臨床

A formula built like an almanac — two spirit-named chiefs each commanding eight herbs, the whole weighing twenty-four ounces for the twenty-four solar terms. Beneath the numerology sits a practical trinity: quiet the heart, feed the spleen, secure the kidney, in one unhurried year-shaped pill. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
