Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治同上, 亦治婦人氣痛. 香附子三錢, 烏藥ㆍ陳皮ㆍ紫蘇葉各一錢, 乾薑ㆍ甘草各五分. 右剉, 水煎服. 或爲末, 鹽湯點服二錢, 亦佳. 《丹溪》

Translation

Treats the same as above, and also qi pain in women. Cyperus 3 don; lindera, tangerine peel and perilla leaf 1 don each; dry ginger and licorice 5 pun each. Cut up, decoct in water and take; or powdered and taken 2 don at a time sprinkled into salt decoction, also good. — Danggye 丹溪 (Donguibogam · Gi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Danxi's nine-qi formula, and the Women chapter's Ihyangsasin-san at 1.39.2 is its near twin — cyperus leading, lindera and tangerine peel behind. 亦治婦人氣痛, also qi pain in women, is what makes it the bridge between the two chapters. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
