Translation
Treats retching and vomiting from depressed qi, or gullet-blocked food that will not go down. Ground pot-bottom soot, 5 don; realgar and borax, 2 don each; frankincense, 1 don 5 fun; mung bean and black soybean, forty-nine grains each. Powder them; soak thirty smoked plums in water, stone them and take the flesh, mix it with the powder and pound it even, make pills the size of a bullet, and coat them with 2 don of cinnabar. Hold one pill in the mouth each time and wash it down with hot cake steeped in tea; if there is no vomiting for a good while, the medicine has worked. If there is vomiting, hold another pill in the mouth until it melts and take it. Fatty food, salt and vinegar, and fits of anger are to be avoided. Also called Idu-hoehyang-dan, the Two Beans Return the Aroma Elixir. — Uihak Immun 入門 · Manbyeong Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Guto)
