Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

Translation

Treats block and repulsion with neither above nor below passing: this is phlegm blocking the middle burner, and taking this brings the phlegm out. Immature bitter orange 1 don; chuanxiong 8 pun; amomum, white poria, fritillaria, tangerine peel, perilla seed, trichosanthes seed, magnolia bark and urine-processed cyperus 7 pun each; costus and aloeswood 5 pun each; licorice 3 pun. Leaving out the two aromatics, cut the rest into one packet and decoct with 3 slices of ginger; add bamboo sap and the aloeswood and costus ground thick in water, mix and take. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The other theory of block and repulsion: not a blocked bladder but a blocked middle, with phlegm lodged between the stomach and the gut so that nothing passes either way. Ijin-tang with four qi movers and the two aromatics ground in fresh. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
