Translation

Treats spontaneous sweating. Astragalus (honey-fried) 2 nyang 5 don; a large aconite 2 nyang (roasted in ash, skin and navel removed, steeped in child's urine and fried); saposhnikovia (stir-fried), white atractylodes (stir-fried), white peony (wine-fried) and cinnamon 1 nyang each. Powder them, bind with wine paste into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take fifty on an empty stomach with warm wine. Jujube kernel added is better still. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Jinaek)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Okbyeongpung-san with aconite and cinnamon — the jade screen for the patient whose sweat is cold. The aconite is soaked in child's urine to take its heat down a degree, which is the Uigam's way of making a warming pill safe to take for weeks. **Contains aconite, which is toxic.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
