Translation

Treats taxation damage with vacuity detriment, and a man whose yang is cut off so that nothing is undertaken. Schisandra 8 nyang; cnidium seed, cuscuta, stemona root, eucommia, poria, saposhnikovia, morinda, cistanche, dioscorea, polygala, lycium fruit and arborvitae seed 2 nyang each. Powder them, make honey pills the size of parasol-tree seeds, and take fifty on an empty stomach with warm wine or salt decoction. — Gukbang 局方 (Donguibogam · Jeoneum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Schisandra at four times the weight of anything else holds the formula together — astringent where the rest are warm and moistening. Stemona root and saposhnikovia are the surprises in a tonic of this kind; the Gukbang reads exhausted yang as something wind and lung dryness can also underlie, not cold alone. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
