Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治陰虛火動, 睡中盜汗, 午後發熱, 咳嗽痰盛, 咯唾血, 飮食少思, 肌肉消瘦, 將成勞瘵. 白芍藥一錢三分, 當歸一錢二分, 熟地黃ㆍ麥門冬ㆍ白朮各一錢, 生地黃(酒炒) 八分, 陳皮七分, 知母ㆍ黃柏(幷鹽水炒)ㆍ甘草(灸) 各五分. 右剉, 作一貼, 入薑三片, 棗二枚, 水煎服. 《回春》

Translation

Treats Yin vacuity with fire stirring: night sweats in sleep, fever effusing after noon, cough with copious phlegm, expectorated and spat blood, little thought of food or drink, flesh wasting away — consumption about to form. White peony 1.3 don; Korean angelica 1.2 don; prepared rehmannia, ophiopogon, and white atractylodes, 1 don each; wine-fried raw rehmannia 0.8 don; tangerine peel 0.7 don; anemarrhena and phellodendron (both salt-water-fried) with roasted licorice, 0.5 don each. Cut the above, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger and 2 jujubes, decoct in water and take. — Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Hwa)

Clinical commentary 臨床

A Donguibogam signature for Yin-deficient fire — nourishing herbs dominate, with salt-fried Jimo and Hwangbaek guiding the action down to the Kidney. Baekchul and Jinpi protect digestion from the rich Yin tonics. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
