Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治勞神過度, 致傷心血, 驚悸怔忡, 夢寐不寧, 若有人來捕, 漸成心疾, 甚至癲狂. 辰砂 二兩(用好酒二升煮, 酒將盡, 留二盞用之), 遠志(薑製)ㆍ石菖蒲ㆍ酸棗仁(炒)ㆍ乳香(灸)ㆍ當歸(酒洗)ㆍ白茯神ㆍ白茯苓 各七錢, 人參 五錢. 右爲末, 猪心一箇硏如泥, 入藥末幷煮辰砂酒, 攪勻, 丸如菉豆大, 臨臥棗湯下六七十丸. 《回春》
Translation
Treats the spirit taxed beyond measure so that the Heart blood is damaged, with fright palpitations and fearful throbbing, sleep and dreams unquiet, as though someone were coming to seize one — gradually becoming a Heart disease, and at worst mania and withdrawal. Cinnabar 2 nyang, boiled in 2 seung of good wine until the wine is nearly gone, two jan being kept back for use; ginger-processed polygala, acorus, parched sour jujube seed, roasted frankincense, wine-washed Korean angelica, hostwood poria and white poria, 7 don each; ginseng 5 don. Powder them all; grind one pig's heart to a paste, add the powdered medicines together with the wine the cinnabar was boiled in, stir until even, and make pills the size of mung beans; take sixty or seventy pills at bedtime, down with jujube decoction. — Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Sin)
