Translation

Treats deafness of every kind: supplements vacuity, opens the orifice, moves depression, scatters wind and removes damp. Loadstone 3 nyang calcined, then boiled a full watch with 3 nyang each of cut scallion white and akebia; take the stone, grind and water-float it to 2 nyang. Chuanxiong, white atractylodes, Sichuan pepper, jujube flesh, saposhnikovia, white poria, asarum, dioscorea, polygala, aconite main root, costus, angelica, deer antler velvet, cuscuta and astragalus 1 nyang each; cinnamon 6 don 5 pun; cooked rehmannia 2 nyang; acorus 1 nyang 5 don. Powder them; boil two pairs of sheep's kidneys soft in wine, and with wine paste bind into pills the size of a firmiana seed; take fifty on an empty stomach with warm wine or salt decoction. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · I)

Clinical commentary 臨床

4.5.2 gives the reasoning: all deafness is phlegm and fire bound up, and without loadstone to weigh it down and aconite, cinnamon, pepper, asarum and acorus to scatter and move, there is no way the old phlegm and pent fire will open. The loadstone is boiled with scallion and akebia first, which is what makes it usable. **Contains aconite main root, which is toxic.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
