Translation
Treats wasting-thirst from wine heat. Mume (crushed, kernel retained) and Chinese quince, 2 don each; dry-fried barley sprout, tsaoko, and licorice, 1 don each. Cut the above, make one packet, add 5 slices of ginger, decoct in water and take. — Deukhyo 得效 (Donguibogam · Sogal)
Clinical commentary 臨床
Sour against wine — plum and quince pull the scattered fluids back while barley sprout and tsaoko digest what the drinking left behind; a hangover formula in all but name. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
