Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治同上, 又治不思飮食. 七珍散前方, 加白扁豆(薑汁炒)一味也. 《本事》
Translation
Treats the same as the above, and further treats having no thought of food at all: the preceding Chiljin-san with one added flavor — ginger-juice-fried white hyacinth bean. — Bonsa 本事 (Donguibogam · Naesang)
Clinical commentary 臨床
One bean deeper into anorexia — when the patient has stopped even thinking of food, the Bonsa adds the mildest legume in the pharmacy, ginger-fried so the weakest stomach can greet it. Escalation measured in single ingredients. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
