Translation

Treats spontaneous sweating from depletion of heart qi; with this the heart's fluid is gathered in. Ginseng and angelica, cut, 5 don each; one pig's heart split into several pieces with the blood inside it. In two wan of water first boil the pig's heart down to one and a half wan, then add the two medicinals and boil together down to eight parts, and take the clear juice. Eat the pig's heart and wash it down with the juice until all is gone. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Jinaek)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The heart fed with a heart — the like-treats-like of the Kidney chapter's animal kidneys, applied to 5.8's rule that sweat is the heart's fluid. Eaten as a meal, and the Bogam's name for it, 腰子, is the old word for a kidney that came to mean any organ meat. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
