Translation

Treats the welling water disease. Lepidium seed (fried on paper), alisma, zanthoxylum seed, mulberry root bark, apricot kernel and polyporus 5 don each. Powder them, make honey pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take thirty to fifty with scallion white decoction. — Hagan 河間 (Donguibogam · Bok)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Lepidium seed drains water from the lung and mulberry root bark from above, alisma and polyporus from below — the whole formula moves water downward, for 13.19's belly that sloshes like a bag of liquid. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
