Treats all five accumulations generally. Coptis — 5 don for liver accumulation, 7 don for spleen and kidney, 1.5 nyang for heart and lung. Magnolia bark — 5 don for liver, heart and lung, 8 don for spleen and kidney. Aconite (chuan wu) — 1 don for liver and lung, 5 pun for heart, kidney and spleen. Dry ginger — 5 pun for liver and heart, 1.5 don for lung, spleen and kidney. Ginseng — 2 don for liver, heart, spleen and lung, 5 pun for kidney. Poria 1.5 don; croton frost 5 pun. Powder them, make honey pills the size of a firmiana seed. Begin with two pills and increase gradually, taking a slightly loose stool as the measure. It treats accumulation lumps without regard to whether they lie above or below the navel, on the left or the right, and is used generally. For liver accumulation add bupleurum 1 nyang, zanthoxylum 4 don, curcuma 3 don, gleditsia pod and kelp 2.5 don each.

Clinical commentary 臨床

One formula written five ways. Seven medicinals stay constant and only their proportions shift by viscus, with a further set of additions for each — so what looks like a single prescription is a matrix, and the five separate pills at 1.8.3 to 1.8.7 are its rows fixed in place. The proportions carry the argument. Coptis runs from 5 don to a nyang and a half, rising as the accumulation sits higher, because heart and lung accumulations are read as hotter; dry ginger moves the opposite way, rising for the lower and cooler viscera. Aconite, dry ginger and croton frost supply a warm attack while coptis and magnolia bark restrain it, and ginseng holds the centre throughout. The dosing instruction is the safeguard: begin at two pills, increase gradually, and take a slightly loose stool as the measure. The section quotes the Neijing to the same effect at 1.8.5 — when using toxic medicines to break accumulation, stop when a little more than half is gone, for medicine past its measure kills. **Contains croton frost and aconite, both toxic, in a formula titrated by stool response. Not suitable for self-administration and contraindicated in pregnancy.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
