Kidney-Stone Deodeok Decoction

Seokjajeni-tang

한글 석자제니탕  ·  Pinyin Shi Zi Ji Ni Tang

石子薺苨湯

Broth-anchored decoction: first simmer one pig's kidney (猪腰子) and 1 hop of black beans in 3 cups of water down to 1.5 cups and strain; then decoct the medicinals in this broth down to seven-tenths and strain again. Take after food, then follow with the pill below (Hwangryeonjeodu-hwan of the rigid-center section). The 'stone' of the name is the kidney (石子, testicle-kidney) in the broth, not a mineral.

Clinical commentary 臨床

The chapter's most desperate pattern gets its most anatomical prescription — the medicine is cooked in kidney broth before it ever meets the patient, deodeok and lodestone pulling a runaway fire down into flesh that can hold it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
