Translation

Treats a woman with heart and lung both detrimented, the blood vessels vacuous and weak, the skin gathered and the hair falling, or the menses missing their term. Angelica, white peony, dioscorea, astragalus and cooked rehmannia 1 don 5 pun each; ginseng, chuanxiong and white poria 7 pun 5 ri each. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take on an empty stomach. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

皮聚毛落 — the skin gathered and the hair falling — is one of the six signs of substance lost that the Fire chapter lists at 5.7.3, and its presence makes this a vacuity state whatever else the picture shows. Palmul-tang with dioscorea and astragalus in place of the peony-and-rehmannia weighting, and nothing in it moves or clears. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
