Original, read line by line 東醫寶鑑 · Tangaek — Decoctions vol. 1

1. 一名啞芙蓉一作阿. 卽罌粟花未開時, 用竹鍼刺十數孔, 其津自出.

   It has another name, abuyong (啞芙蓉), also written with the character a (阿). When the poppy flower has not yet opened, a bamboo needle is used to prick a dozen or so holes, and the sap flows out of itself.

   HomiclubOpium is the sap that oozes from a scored unripe poppy capsule and is left to harden. In Korea it is a scheduled narcotic, and growing, collecting, and possessing it are all prohibited.

2. 次日, 以竹刀刮在磁器內, 待積取多了, 以紙封固, 曬二七日, 卽成片矣.

   The next day it is scraped with a bamboo knife into a porcelain vessel; once enough has gathered, it is sealed tight with paper and sunned for fourteen days, whereupon it forms into cakes.

3. 性急, 不可多用. 《入門》

   Its nature is violent, so it must not be used in quantity. 《Immun (入門)》

4. 治久痢不止. 鸎粟花, 花卸, 結殼後三五日午後, 於殼上用大鍼刺開外面靑皮十餘處, 次日早津出.

   It treats chronic dysentery that will not stop. Three to five days after the poppy's petals have fallen and the capsule has set, in the afternoon, prick open the green outer skin of the capsule in a dozen or so places with a large needle; by the next morning the sap has flowed.

5. 以竹刀刮在磁器內陰乾. 每用小豆大一粒, 空心, 溫水化下.

   Scrape it with a bamboo knife into a porcelain vessel and dry it in the shade. Each time, one grain the size of a red bean is dissolved in warm water and swallowed on an empty stomach.

6. 忌葱, 蒜, 漿水. 如熱渴, 以蜜水解之. 《醫林》

   Scallion, garlic, and jangsu (漿水, fermented grain water) are to be avoided. If heat and thirst arise, they are relieved with honey water. 《Uirim (醫林)》
