Translation

Treats the yang-wearing pattern of cold damage. Honey-roasted licorice, 2 don; blast-fried aconite, blast-fried dried ginger and ginseng, 1 don each; schisandra, twenty fruits; ophiopogon, coptis and anemarrhena, 7 fun each; prepared mugwort, 3 fun. Cut up, make one packet, add five slices of fresh ginger, two jujubes and three stalks of scallion white, decoct in water, and as it finishes stir in three spoons of boy's urine; strain and take cold. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Han)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Wearing the yang means the flush sits on the face like a hat while everything below it is cold, and Tao Hua's formula treats both halves at once: aconite, ginger and ginseng below, coptis and anemarrhena above, ophiopogon and schisandra to hold the fluid, and boy's urine stirred in cold at the end to lead the whole thing downward. A flushed face over a cold collapsed body is a recognizable terminal picture, and this is the chapter's most elaborate attempt at it. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
