Moisten the Kidney Pill

Yunsin-hwan

한글 윤신환  ·  Pinyin Run Shen Wan

潤腎丸

Pill formula, bulk amounts: powdered and bound with steamed jujube flesh into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; 100 pills with thin rice water on an empty stomach. Two refinements are written into the recipe — the atractylodes is kneaded in leek juice and nine-times-steamed-and-sunned (then steamed once more with fennel, which is discarded), and the dried ginger is dosed by season: 1 nyang in winter, 5 don in summer, 7 don in spring and autumn. The Immun notes this formula is identical in composition to the Black Rehmannia Pill of the Posterior Yin chapter, differing only in preparation.

Translation

Treats Spleen-Kidney vacuity detriment with a thin body and a green-yellow face. Atractylodes 1 geun (kneaded evenly in the pounded juice of 1 geun of leeks, steamed and sunned nine times, then steamed once more with half a geun of fennel, the fennel discarded); prepared rehmannia 1 geun; schisandra half a geun; dried ginger — 1 nyang in winter, 5 don in summer, 7 don in spring and autumn. Powder the above and bind with steamed jujube flesh into pills the size of parasol-tree seeds; take 100 pills with thin rice water on an empty stomach. — This formula is the same as the Black Rehmannia Pill of the Posterior Yin chapter, differing only in preparation. — Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Heoro)

Clinical commentary 臨床

One drying herb and one enriching herb at equal half-pound rank — the whole art is in the marriage: atractylodes civilized by nine steamings until it can live with rehmannia, and ginger tuned to the calendar, the chapter's only formula that changes dose with the season. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
