Translation

Treats insufficiency of the liver channel with wind heat attacking upward, vision dim, constant black flowers, much tearing and a hidden roughness, or an obstructing screen breeding. Atractylodes lancea 1 nyang; cassia seed 7 don 5 pun; rhubarb, chuanxiong, asarum, burdock seed, chrysanthemum, saposhnikovia, tribulus, schizonepeta spikes, vitex, scrophularia, horsetail, scutellaria, gardenia and licorice 5 don each. Powder them and take 2 don at a time at bedtime, stirred into cold wine or honey water. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibegam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Sixteen medicinals and atractylodes lancea at the head of them, which is unusual in an eye formula and is the Immun's way of saying the wind heat rose out of damp below. Taken at bedtime in cold wine, so that it works overnight; rhubarb in the middle of it keeps the whole prescription draining downward while the wind drugs disperse above. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
