Source text 原文

Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

倒倉法全藉自飮輪迴酒十餘盃, 以祛逐餘垢, 迎接調勻, 新布榮衛, 使藏府肓膜生意敷暢, 有脫胎換骨之功也. 多嫌其穢, 因致中輟而功虧一簣. 若非明物理通造化者, 其肯視爲美醖良味乎. 《丹心》

Translation

The method of overturning the granary relies wholly on the patient drinking ten or more cups of Cycle Wine himself, to drive out what filth remains, to meet and even out what follows, to spread construction and defence anew, and to make the viscera, bowels and membranes grow easy and open — it has the merit of shedding the womb and changing the bones. Many are disgusted by its foulness and so break off halfway, and the work falls short by a single basketful. Unless a man understands the principles of things and sees through to how creation works, will he be willing to take it for a fine brew and a good flavour? — Dansim 丹心 (Donguibogam · To)

Clinical commentary 臨床

**This is not to be used.** Drinking urine carries a real infection risk, and it is being given to a patient already depleted by induced vomiting and purging. 多嫌其穢, 因致中輟 — many are disgusted and break off — is the Dangye xinfa arguing against the patient's own revulsion, which is the opposite of the right conclusion. The second name recorded in 倒倉法, 還魂湯, Return the Soul Decoction, is the same preparation. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
