Translation

Treats vacuity glomus below the heart with dislike of food, lassitude and weariness, and a stringlike pulse at the right bar. Immature bitter orange and coptis 5 don each; magnolia bark 4 don; pinellia leaven, ginseng and white atractylodes 3 don each; dried fresh ginger, white poria, barley sprout and licorice 2 don each. Powder them, bind with steamed bread into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take a hundred with plain hot water on an empty stomach. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Hyung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

右關脈弦 — a stringlike pulse at the right bar, which is the sign that makes this glomus a vacuity one. 1.37 divides glomus by whether the patient eats: repletion glomus dislikes food because the stomach is full, and vacuity glomus because it is weak. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
