Translation

Treats white turbidity from damp heat. Clam shell powder 2 nyang; arisaema and pinellia (both ginger-processed), atractylodes lancea and indigo 1 nyang each. Powder them, bind with medicated leaven boiled in ginger juice into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take fifty to seventy on an empty stomach with ginger decoction. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

White turbidity treated as phlegm — the two phlegm medicinals with atractylodes to dry and clam shell to lead into the kidney. The Immun's reading is that what comes out thick in the urine is the same substance that comes up thick from the chest. **Contains arisaema, which is toxic.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
