Translation

Treats stomach-duct pain from having taken hot medicines and hot foods, which has long since become an inveterate complaint. Cyperus and chuanxiong 5 don each; coptis and gardenia 2 don 5 pun each; costus and dried ginger 1 don 5 pun each; areca, wine-fried scutellaria and mirabilite 1 don each. Powder them and take 2 don stirred into hot ginger decoction when the pain comes. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Hyung)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The mirror of Onwi-tang above: that one treats a stomach cooled too far, this one a stomach heated too far, and both are damage done by treatment. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
