Ginseng Overcome Toxin Powder
Insampaedok-san
한글 인삼패독산 · Pinyin Ren Shen Bai Du San
Mint is given as 少許, a small quantity, and the ginger by the slice, so grams are 0 for both. Both named variants are registered separately: 人參羌活散 as insam-ganghwal-san, and 荊防敗毒散 as hyeongbangpaedok-san-on from the Epidemic chapter's leaf, which prints its full composition — this formula with 荊芥穗 and 防風 added.
