Pill formula, bulk amounts: powdered and bound with a wine-boiled glutinous rice paste into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 70–90 pills on an empty stomach with salted water. Note on modern practice: aconite's tianxiong form (天雄) is a regulated toxic medicinal and the male silkmoth an animal product; both are shown as recorded, for textual fidelity.

Translation

Treats a husband's essence run cold, the true essence not rich and not delivered — hence childlessness. Actinolite (calcined in fire and ground), cuscuta (wine-soaked and prepared), deer antler (wine-steamed and baked), blast-fried tianxiong aconite, dry-fried chive seed, and wine-soaked cistanche, 1 nyang each; wine-soaked rubus, dendrobium, mulberry mistletoe, aquilaria, wine-roasted male silkmoth, and schisandra, 5 don each. Powder the above and bind with a wine-boiled glutinous rice paste into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; take 70–90 pills on an empty stomach with salted water. — Deukhyo 得效 (Donguibogam · Buin)

Clinical commentary 臨床

The coldest case in the male cabinet gets the mineral — actinolite calcined to powder, with tianxiong aconite behind it and the silkmoth that the old formularies reserved for exactly this indication. Mounted on seeds and stone-fruit and bound with wine-cooked rice: the pharmacology of a fire built from the bottom up. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
