Ginseng Drain the Lung Decoction
Insamsapye-tang
한글 인삼사폐탕 · Pinyin Ren Shen Xie Fei Tang
The Lung chapter's citation omits the ginseng the formula is named for; the Cough chapter's citation, which builds it from Yanggyeok-san with the mirabilite taken out and five drugs added, supplies it, and it is entered here from that.
