Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治心腹冷痛. 鍼砂 四兩, 炒似烟出, 入白礬 五錢, 硇砂ㆍ粉霜 各半錢. 右新水拌勻微濕, 裹以皮紙, 貼安懷中. 候熱發, 置臍中或氣海ㆍ關元, 大補元氣. 置于他冷處亦汗出立差. 此藥燥則不熱, 再以新水拌再熱, 可用十餘次. 如藥力盡, 曬乾再入礬末則如舊. 或只用鍼砂ㆍ白礬亦效. 《資生》
Translation
Treats cold pain of heart and abdomen. Iron filings 4 nyang, fried until they smoke; add alum 5 don, sal ammoniac and sublimed calomel half a don each. Mix evenly with fresh water until slightly damp, wrap in leather paper and hold it against the chest. When it begins to give off heat, set it on the navel or at Gihae or Gwanwon, greatly supplementing the origin qi; set on any other cold place it likewise brings out sweat and cures at once. When the medicine dries it does not heat; mix it again with fresh water and it heats again, and it may be used ten times and more. When its strength is spent, sun it dry and add more alum powder and it is as before. Or iron filings and alum alone are effective. — Jasaenggyeong 資生 (Donguibogam · Bok)
