Translation

Treats yin epilepsy with a cool body and a fine, slow pulse. Arisaema, pinellia, aconite, typhonium and black soybean, all used raw, 1 nyang each. Powder them, make pills the size of a firmiana seed with ginger-juice paste, and swallow three or five at a time with weak ginger decoction. — Haejang 海藏 (Donguibogam · Sin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

**This must not be prepared.** The name says what is wrong with it: all five 生用, used raw — raw aconite, raw arisaema, raw pinellia and raw typhonium together, every one of which is detoxified by processing precisely because the raw drug is dangerous. The black soybean and the ginger-juice paste are the only concessions, and they are not enough. The pattern it names, 陰癎 with a cool body and a slow pulse, is real and is better met with 理中湯-type warming. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
