Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
烏鬚黑髮如神. 旱蓮草十六斤, 六月下半月, 七月上半月採取, 不許水洗, 扭乾取汁, 對日曬過五日, 不住手攪. 午時, 方加眞生薑汁, 好蜜各一斤相和, 如前曬攪, 至數日, 似稀糖成膏, 磁罐收貯. 每日, 空心, 好酒一鍾, 藥一匙調服. 午後又一服. 至二十一日, 將白者摘去, 卽生黑者. 《醫鑑》
Translation
Blackens beard and hair as if by divine power. Eclipta 16 geun, gathered in the latter half of the sixth month and the first half of the seventh, not to be washed with water; wring it dry for the juice and sun it facing the sun for five days, stirring without pause. At noon add true ginger juice and good honey, 1 geun each, mix together, and sun and stir as before. After several days it thickens like thin syrup into a paste; store in a porcelain jar. Each day on an empty stomach take a spoonful of the medicine mixed into a cup of good wine, and again in the afternoon. By the twenty-first day, pluck out the white hairs and black ones grow in their place. — Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Mobal)
