Translation

Treats flesh wasted and the body frail, spirit diminished, and food without savour. Taking this medicine, one can bear labour and endure hunger; taken long, the limbs and body grow stout and strong. It clears fire and transforms phlegm, opens depression and fortifies the spleen and stomach, nourishes blood and harmonizes the qi. Angelica (wine-washed) and white atractylodes 6 nyang each; white poria, tangerine peel, child-urine processed cyperus, coptis (ginger-juice fried), hawthorn flesh and medicated leaven (stir-fried) 3 nyang each; bitter orange fruit, white peony, ginseng, dioscorea (stir-fried) and lotus seed 2 nyang each; licorice (mix-fried) 5 don. Powder them; decoct lotus leaf and cook rice in the liquor to make paste, and form pills the size of a firmiana seed. Take a hundred down with rice broth. Those who labour hard should not be a single day without this medicine. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Naesang)

Clinical commentary 臨床

可以當勞, 可以耐飢 — one can bear labour and endure hunger — states what the formula is for: not a disease but a working life that outruns what the body can rebuild. The closing line makes it explicit, 勞役之士, those who labour hard. The composition is Sagunja-tang joined to the food-reducing group with angelica and peony for blood, and a single ginger-fried coptis to hold the heat. Lotus leaf as the vehicle for the binding paste is the one unusual step; it raises the clear yang, which suits a formula meant to be taken daily by the depleted. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
