Translation

Treats the same as the above. Strip scutellaria 4 nyang, cut, steeped through in vinegar, wrapped in paper and ember-roasted, seven times; wine-washed Korean angelica and vinegar-fried cyperus, 2 nyang each. Powder the above and bind with a vinegar paste into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; take 50–70 pills on an empty stomach with wine. — Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Po)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The single herb grown into a formula — four ounces of vinegar-roasted scutellaria still leading, but with angelica to rebuild what the bleeding costs and cyperus to move the constraint the chapter reads beneath it. Vinegar appears three times over, in the soaking, the frying, and the binding: the sour flavor that gathers in what is escaping. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
