Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治産後泄瀉, 惡露不行, 此餘血滲入大腸, 爲瀉下靑黑色物, 是驗. 大荊芥穗, 於盞內然火燒存性, 不得犯油火, 入麝香少許, 硏爲末, 每取一錢, 沸湯一二呷調服, 神效. 《得效》

Translation

Treats diarrhoea after delivery where the lochia does not flow — the remaining blood has seeped into the large intestine, and that what is passed is green-black is the proof. Large schizonepeta spike burnt in a cup preserving its nature, never touched by oil or flame, with a little musk added, ground to a powder; take 1 don at a time stirred into a mouthful or two of boiling water, with spirit-like effect. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

爲瀉下靑黑色物, 是驗 — that what is passed is green-black is the proof. The diagnosis rests on the colour of the stool rather than on the diarrhoea itself, and the reading is that the lochia has taken a wrong path into the bowel. 不得犯油火 — never touched by oil or flame — means burnt by its own heat in a covered cup rather than over a fire, which keeps the ash from taking up fat. **Contains musk, CITES Appendix I and prohibited in trade.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
