Fourfold-Processed Atractylodes and Phellodendron Pill
Sajechangbaek-hwan
한글 사제창백환 · Pinyin Si Zhi Cang Bai Wan
Only the phellodendron and atractylodes are taken and powdered, the frying agents being picked out and discarded; bound with honey into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds. Take 30–50 pills — with wine in the morning, tea at midday, and plain boiled water in the evening. **Note on modern practice: human milk and child's urine as processing media are not used in contemporary practice; the formula is recorded as classical text.**
