Translation

Treats blood flooding and all loss of blood. Yellow silk, horse tail hair, lotus root node, mugwort leaf, cattail pollen, lotus seed pod, hair, palm bark, red pine bark and new cotton wadding, each burnt to ash, in equal parts. Powder them, bind with vinegar-boiled glutinous rice paste into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take a hundred down with rice broth. — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · Hyeol)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Danxi's version, and the ten things burnt are different from Ge Kejiu's: silk, horsehair, cotton, human hair — fibres rather than plants, and the reasoning is that what is spun and woven holds. Five of the ten are not medicinals at all in the ordinary sense. The Women chapter sends here at 1.29.3.5 for postpartum flooding, and this is the formula's home entry. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
