Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
洗暴赤眼及時行眼疾, 腫痛. 黃栢 一味爲末, 以濕紙包褁, 黃泥固濟, 火煨候乾, 取出. 每用一彈子大, 綿包浸一盞水內, 飯上蒸熟, 乗熱熏洗, 極妙. 此方有金木水火土製過, 故名爲五行湯. 《入門》
Translation
Washes a sudden red eye and seasonal epidemic eye disease with swelling and pain. Phellodendron alone, powdered, wrapped in damp paper and sealed over with yellow clay, roasted in the embers until dry, and taken out. Take a bullet's worth each time, wrap it in cotton and steep it in a cup of water, steam it over rice, and while hot let the steam play on the eye and wash — most excellent. This formula has passed through metal, wood, water, fire and earth in its preparation, and so is called the Five Phases Decoction. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · An)
