Sparganium Disperse Accumulation Pill
Samreungsojeok-hwan
한글 삼릉소적환 · Pinyin San Leng Xiao Ji Wan
Pill formula, bulk amounts: the croton is fried with rice, skins and all, until scorched black, and the rice discarded; all are powdered and bound with a vinegar paste into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 30–40 pills with a ginger decoction. Note on modern practice: croton (巴豆) is a regulated toxic medicinal used only in processed trace form historically; contemporary practice omits it — the formula stands as recorded, the escalation logic being the durable lesson.
