Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

胡麻, 卽黑脂麻也. 一名巨勝. 白蜜一升ㆍ巨勝一升, 合之, 名曰靜神丸. 《本草》

Translation

Sesame, that is, black oil-seed; one name for it is Geoseung. White honey 1 seung and sesame 1 seung combined is called Jeongsin-hwan. — Boncho 本草 (Donguibogam · Sinhyeong)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Two ingredients in equal measure, honey and sesame, and a name out of all proportion to them. What it amounts to is a sesame-and-honey confection, which is a complete food — fat, protein and sugar — and the Body chapter's claim for it, that one may 斷穀, cut off grain, is not absurd for a person travelling: the woman Lü of Lu is said to have gone without grain for eighty years on sesame and atractylodes and still walked three hundred li in a day. 巨勝, the great conqueror, is the old name for sesame and the one the formula uses. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl.
