A second formula of the same name, also from the Deukhyo, appears at 1.12.1 for lodged accumulation with a different composition. Since the source is the same for both, the two are separated by the section each belongs to.

治茶積, 飮食減少, 面黃腹痛. 陳倉米半升(巴豆肉七粒同炒, 令米赤去巴豆), 入靑皮ㆍ橘紅各二兩. 右爲末, 好醋搜和爲丸豌豆大. 淡薑湯下二三十丸. 《得效》

Translation

Treats tea accumulation, with food and drink reduced, a sallow complexion and abdominal pain. Aged granary rice half a seung, dry-fried with 7 croton kernels until the rice reddens, the croton then discarded; add green tangerine peel and red tangerine peel 2 nyang each. Powder them, work into pills with good vinegar the size of a pea, and take twenty or thirty down with weak ginger decoction. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Jeokchwi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Aged granary rice fried with croton until it reddens, the croton then discarded — the same technique as the coptis of Gungnyeol-won, applied to a grain. What is left is rice carrying a trace of croton, mild enough to be the bulk of the formula. Tea accumulation has its own subsection at 1.13.7, which describes a liking for tea and for chewing dry tea leaves. Read alongside the pica described at 1.8.12, both belong to the same family of observations about compulsive eating of non-nutritive substances. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
