Incomparable Dioscorea Pill

Mubisanyak-won

한글 무비산약원  ·  Pinyin Wu Bi Shan Yao Yuan

無比山藥元

Pill formula, bulk amounts: powdered and bound with honey into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 70–90 pills with warm wine or thin rice water. The source appends a timetable of effects: after seven days the body grows light and lustrous, the face brightens, hands and feet warm, and the voice clears — these are the proof. After ten days flesh is built and the medicine penetrates upward into the brain, so the nose will surely ache and tingle — do not think it strange.

Clinical commentary 臨床

Schisandra at six nyang over everything — the Incomparable pill's wager is that a kidney this depleted leaks faster than it fills, so the astringent outranks every builder in the jar. The appended timetable, nose-tingle and all, is the Song formulary at its most consumer-friendly: a medicine that tells you how to know it is working. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
