Translation

Treats the pattern of numb heavy flesh. 苛 means numb and heavy. Peucedanum, angelica dahurica, asarum, cinnamon, white atractylodes and chuanxiong 3 nyang each; evodia, aconite (blast-fried) and angelica 2 nyang each; Sichuan pepper 3 don. Cut and pound them, mix evenly with three seung of tea and wine and steep overnight; put them into five geun of lard and simmer gently, and when the angelica dahurica turns yellow strain off the dregs and boil down to an ointment. Rub it on the place where the disease is, until it is hot. — Hagan 河間 (Donguibogam · Yuk)

Clinical commentary 臨床

An ointment rendered in lard and rubbed in until the skin is hot — the only preparation in the chapter, and the whole treatment for 19.6's numb, heavy limb. The angelica dahurica turning yellow is the sign the fat has taken up the medicines. **Contains aconite, which is toxic. For external use only.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
