Three Beans Sober-Up Decoction

Samduhaejeong-tang

한글 삼두해정탕  ·  Pinyin San Dou Jie Cheng Tang

三豆解酲湯

Decocted as one dose and taken at any time, slightly warm. The source commends it especially for those in whom drinking has begun to raise the wasting-thirst — good to take before wine as protection, and it also resolves drunkenness.

Translation

Treats wine-struck illness — headache, vomiting, and vexing thirst; it resolves wine toxin well, keeps much drinking from intoxicating, and is especially suitable for those in whom wine has raised the wasting-thirst. Kudzu root 2 don; atractylodes 1.5 don; tangerine peel, red poria, quince, and pinellia, 1 don each; medicated leaven 0.7 don; alisma 0.5 don; dried raw ginger 0.3 don; black soybean, mung bean, and red adzuki, 2 don each. Make one dose, decoct in water, and take slightly warm at any time. — Eowon 御院 (Donguibogam · Naesang)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The kitchen's three coolest beans deputized against the pantry's hottest liquid — black, mung, and red adzuki in the pot with kudzu, for the drinker whose habit is edging toward sogal. The chapter quietly cross-references its own diabetes wing: this is the formula for the patient both chapters are watching. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
