Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治瞖膜遮睛, 隱澁昏花. 甘菊花 開頭 五百箇, 荊芥 五百穗, 木賊 去節 五百節, 楮實 五百枚, 川椒 開口者 五百粒. 右爲末, 蜜丸彈子大, 每取一丸, 茶淸嚼下. 《綱目》

Translation

Treats a screen and membrane veiling the pupil with a hidden roughness and dim flowering vision. Five hundred open chrysanthemum heads; five hundred schizonepeta spikes; five hundred horsetail joints with the nodes removed; five hundred paper-mulberry fruits; five hundred Sichuan pepper grains, the open-mouthed ones. Powder them, make honey pills the size of a bullet, and chew one at a time down with clear tea. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · An)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Five hundred of each, counted rather than weighed — the only formula in the Bogam measured entirely by number, and the counting is the whole character of it. Open flower heads, nodeless joints, open-mouthed peppercorns: each specification picks the thing at the moment it has opened, for an eye that will not. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
