Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治腎藏風, 脚下生瘡癬, 或兩耳鳴痒. 白蒺藜ㆍ黃芪ㆍ獨活ㆍ白附子 各等分. 右爲末, 每二錢, 薄荷酒調下. ○或以猪腰子批開, 入藥末二錢, 合定, 濕紙裹煨香熟, 空心細嚼, 以鹽酒送下, 卽差. 《局方》

Translation

Treats kidney-visceral wind with sores and lichen breaking out below the legs, or both ears ringing and itching. Tribulus, astragalus, angelica pubescens and typhonium in equal parts. Powder them and take 2 don at a time stirred into mint and wine. Or split open a pig's kidney, put 2 don of the powder inside, close it up, wrap it in damp paper and roast it in the embers until fragrant and done; chew it finely on an empty stomach and send it down with salted wine — recovery follows at once. — Gukbang 局方 (Donguibogam · Jeoneum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Four raw medicinals, none of them processed, which is what the name records. The second method is the interesting one: the powder is sealed inside a pig's kidney and roasted, so the drug reaches the kidney through a kidney — organ-to-organ reasoning used as a delivery method, and a palatable one. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
