Treats belching Qi. Gypsum and pinellia, 2 don each; arisaema, cyperus, and gardenia, 1 don each. Cut the above, make one packet, add 3 slices of ginger, decoct and take. — Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Naesang)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Geodamhwa-hwan poured out as a decoction — same five hands, gypsum and pinellia promoted to the front, for the belch that wants answering this week rather than this season. Pill for the habit, pot for the episode. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
