Translation

Treats food accumulation with qi stagnation, the chest full and the abdomen painful. Sparganium and curcuma 7 don each; green tangerine peel 3 don 5 pun; lesser galangal (vinegar-boiled), clove, costus and croton frost 1 don 7 pun each; one pod of gleditsia burnt to ash; a spoonful of stove soot. Powder them, bind with paste into pills the size of a hemp seed, and take twenty or thirty with plain hot water. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · Bok)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Croton frost in a small pill taken in twenties — the frost is croton pressed of its oil, which is how the pharmacy makes the harshest purgative in the materia medica usable at all. **Contains croton frost, which is toxic even de-oiled.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
