Translation

Treats wind and supplements vacuity, and treats wind of the hands and feet; repeatedly proven. Dipsacus, eucommia, saposhnikovia, poria, achyranthes, asarum, ginseng, cassia bark, tangkuei and licorice, 8 fun each; chuanxiong, pubescent angelica, gentiana macrophylla and cooked rehmannia, 4 fun each. Cut up, make one packet and decoct in water. If the fingers are without strength, less than half a course will cure it. — Uibang Yuchwi 得效 (Donguibogam · Pung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The first of the two 中風虛證 formulas and the plainer of them. Fourteen drugs, none of them harsh, built on dipsacus and eucommia for the sinews and bones with the four-substance blood group behind them and ginseng for the qi. The specific claim — if the fingers are without strength, less than half a course will cure it — is the kind of narrow empirical boast that survives in a text because somebody kept seeing it work, and weak intrinsic hand muscles in a depleted patient is a complaint that does respond to months of this sort of prescription. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
