Purple Cloud Wind Pill

Jaunpung-hwan

한글 자운풍환  ·  Pinyin Zi Yun Feng Wan

紫雲風丸

The transcription writes 蚕 for 蠶; the corpus form is printed. 惡實 is the burdock seed and is recorded under ubangja on the corpus alias, and 蟬退 under seontoe. 紫雲癜風, purple-cloud dapple wind, is the comparison the leaf draws and not a separate indication.

Clinical commentary 臨床

The companion to Daemapung-hwan at the other early presentation: where that formula takes the anaesthetic patches of five colours, this one takes the purple ones, 紫雲癜風, the dapple that looks like a purple cloud, and the blood-blisters that follow. The 大風瘡 section also records 初起白屑紫雲如癜風然, that leprosy begins with white scurf and a purple cloud like dapple wind, so the three early formulas — Baekhwasa-hwan for the white scurf, this for the purple cloud, Daemapung-hwan for the numb patches — divide the onset between them. Fleeceflower root at four nyang heads it, with acanthopanax bark, silkworm, sophora root and Korean angelica behind, and then thirteen drugs at a nyang that are a wind-damp and cool-the-blood sweep. Scorpion and silkworm are the creature pair the chapter reaches for when a lesion will not shift. **Contains whole scorpion, which is toxic, sinomenium, which carries aristolochic acid and is nephrotoxic and carcinogenic, and asarum in quantity, which carries it too. This must not be prepared.** The lesions described are treatable — but with multidrug therapy, and the earlier the better, because nerve damage once established does not reverse. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
