Auspicious Lotus Pill

Seoryeon-hwan

한글 서련환  ·  Pinyin Rui Lian Wan

瑞蓮丸

Pill formula, bulk amounts, with preparation as half the text: the atractylodes (1 geun) is quartered and steeped 4 nyang each in wine, vinegar, rice water, and plain; the lotus seed (1 geun, hearts removed) is wine-softened, packed into pig's stomachs (about two), boiled utterly soft, and stone-baked dry. All are powdered, and the boiled stomachs pounded to a paste with wine-cooked flour bind the pills to parasol-tree-seed size; 50–70 pills with wine.

Translation

Treats vacuity taxation — settling the Heart, warming the Kidney, engendering Blood, and transforming phlegm. Atractylodes (governing the Spleen) 1 geun — 4 nyang used raw, and 4 nyang each steeped in wine, vinegar, and rice water; lotus seed (governing the Heart) 1 geun — peel and hearts removed, softened in wine, packed into pig's stomachs (a geun of seed to about two stomachs), boiled utterly soft, removed, and stone-baked dry; lycium fruit (governing the Liver), schisandra (governing the Lung), psoralea (governing the Kidney), and prepared rehmannia (governing the Blood), 2 nyang each. Powder the above; pound the aforementioned pig's stomachs to a paste and, with a wine-cooked flour paste, bind into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds. Take 50–70 pills with wine. — Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Heoro)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Taegeuk-hwan's cosmological cousin — where that pill tagged its herbs to the five phases, this one deputizes each to a viscus and the blood, six commissioners in one jar, delivered as ever inside the chapter's beloved pig's stomach. Prescription as org-chart. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
