Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

五靈脂ㆍ白芷ㆍ靑鹽各二錢, 麝香一分. 右爲末, 用蕎麥粉水和成條圈, 安於臍上, 以前藥末實於臍中, 用艾灸之. 婦人尤宜. 但覺臍中溫煖卽止, 過數日再灸. 太過則生熱也. 《入門》

Translation

Flying-squirrel droppings, angelica dahurica and blue salt 2 don each; musk 1 pun. Powder them, knead buckwheat flour with water into a ring and set it on the navel, pack the powder into the navel within it, and moxa it. Especially suitable for women. Stop as soon as warmth is felt within the navel, and moxa again after some days; too much engenders heat. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Je)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Four medicinals where Jangsaengyeonsu-dan had eighteen, and the stopping rule is the whole technique: 但覺臍中溫煖卽止, stop the moment warmth is felt inside the navel. 太過則生熱, too much makes heat — the same caution as 21.3's rule against letting it hurt. **Musk is from a CITES-listed species.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
