Translation

Treats food accumulation. Hawthorn flesh 3 nyang; forsythia, tangerine peel and radish seed (stir-fried) 5 don each; red poria and pinellia 1 don each. Powder them, make congee pills the size of a mung bean, and take fifty to seventy down with warm water. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Jeokchwi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Bohwa-hwan stripped to its essentials, with hawthorn at three nyang against a single don of poria and pinellia — a thirty-to-one spread that makes this practically a hawthorn preparation. Congee as the binder rather than paste is the gentlest option available and matches the name. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
