Pestle Chaff Pill
Jeogang-hwan
한글 저강환 · Pinyin Chu Kang Wan
Two of the materials have no entry of their own in the herb list — ox cud-grass (牛轉草) and the drool from a cow's mouth (牛涎) — and so are not in the ingredient list above; 杵頭糠 is entered as 糠 with its preparation named. The alternative name 奪命丸 given by the Jeongjeon is not the 奪命丸 of the Women's chapter, which is a different formula.
