Original, read line by line 東醫寶鑑 · Tangaek — Decoctions vol. 3

1. 性寒一云微寒, 味苦酸一云苦辛, 無毒. 主肺氣咳嗽.

   Its nature is cold, though one account calls it slightly cold; its taste is bitter and sour, though one account calls it bitter and pungent, and it is non-toxic. It chiefly treats coughing from pyegi (肺氣, lung qi).

   HomiclubJigak is the fruit of the same tree as the preceding entry, jisil. The riper fruit, split open and scraped out so that only the husk is dried, is called jigak, while the younger fruit dried whole is called jisil.

4. 殼主高而實主下, 殼高主皮膚胸膈之病, 實低主心胃之病, 其主治大同小異. 《湯液》

   The husk governs what is high and the fruit governs what is low; the husk, being high, governs disorders of the skin, chest, and diaphragm, while the fruit, being low, governs disorders of the sim (心, heart) and wi (胃, stomach), and what they chiefly treat is largely the same with small differences. 《Tangaek (湯液)》
