Translation

Treats heat bound in the lower burner with urine that will not pass. Kochia seed 1 don; anemarrhena, scutellaria, polyporus, dianthus, immature bitter orange, cimicifuga, tetrapanax, mallow seed and sargassum 7 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take on an empty stomach. For a woman whose urine will not pass after sexual taxation, with the pulse sunken and fine, decoct half a pig's kidney with it — most effective. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Cimicifuga in a formula to make water go down — 1.7's rule that the qi must be lifted for the water to fall, the same reasoning as the emetic method. Sargassum is the chapter's one use of seaweed for the bladder. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
