Translation

Treats the long summer when damp heat steams a man, with the four limbs exhausted and weary, the spirit short and scant, a reluctance to move, a hot body and vexing thirst, the urine yellow and frequent, the stool loose and frequent, with diarrhoea or dysentery, no desire for food, hurried breathing and spontaneous sweating. Atractylodes lancea, 1 don 5 fun; astragalus and cimicifuga, 1 don each; ginseng, atractylodes, tangerine peel, medicated leaven and alisma, 5 fun each; wine-treated phellodendron, tangkuei, green tangerine peel, ophiopogon, pueraria and licorice, 3 fun each; schisandra, nine fruits. Cut up, make one packet and decoct in water. In this medicine, the ginseng, atractylodes, astragalus, cimicifuga, licorice, ophiopogon, tangkuei, schisandra, phellodendron and pueraria are what clear summerheat and supplement the qi; the atractylodes lancea, medicated leaven, tangerine peel, green tangerine peel and alisma are what regulate the spleen. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · Seo)
