Immortals' Already-Crossed Elixir

Sinseongije-dan

한글 신선기제단  ·  Pinyin Shen Xian Ji Ji Dan

神仙旣濟丹

Pill formula, bulk amounts: powdered and bound with honey and steamed jujube flesh into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 70–90 pills with salted water or warm wine on an empty stomach. The Uigam records a variant with asparagus root and wine-washed angelica 2 nyang each, omitting chrysanthemum, gardenia, and tangerine peel. The formula's self-description: 'warm without heat, clear without cold; taken long, Water and Fire stand Already-Crossed, Yin and Yang in concord — the fire does not flare and the spirit clears of itself, the water does not seep and the essence secures itself: the sagely medicine of even supplementation.'

Translation

Wholly supplements all vacuities and hundred detriments, the five taxations and seven damages — enriching Kidney Water, downbearing Heart Fire, supplementing Spleen Earth, adding essence and supplementing marrow, boosting Qi and harmonizing Blood, strengthening sinew and bone, moistening the skin, sharpening ears and brightening eyes, opening the heart and settling the wits, strengthening Yin and fortifying Yang, extending the years. Its nature and flavor are warm without being hot and clear without being cold; taken long, Water and Fire stand Already-Crossed and Yin and Yang in concord — the fire does not flare and the spirit clears of itself; the water does not seep and the essence secures itself: the sagely medicine of even supplementation. Wine-fried phellodendron 4 nyang; wine-steamed dioscorea and wine-washed achyranthes, 3 nyang each; ginseng, ginger-juice-fried eucommia, morinda, schisandra, white poria, wine-washed lycium fruit, salt-water-fried fennel, wine-washed cistanche, wine-steamed cornus, licorice-water-soaked polygala, acorus, wine-fried anemarrhena, wine-fried dried raw rehmannia, prepared rehmannia, ophiopogon, wine-prepared cuscuta, wine-washed chrysanthemum, and dry-fried gardenia, 2 nyang each; tangerine peel (white removed) 1 nyang. Powder the above and bind with honey and steamed jujube flesh into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; take 70–90 pills with salted water or warm wine on an empty stomach. — One version has asparagus root and wine-washed angelica, 2 nyang each, and lacks the chrysanthemum, gardenia, and tangerine peel. — Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Heoro)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The hexagram in the name is the therapeutic endpoint — Water above Fire, everything in its completed place. Phellodendron leads a twenty-two-herb cabinet whose real signature is temperance: every faction dosed to two nyang, gardenia and chrysanthemum keeping the fire honest, the whole engineered to be taken for years without tipping the board it balances. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
