* Two different versions give different proportions. The left column is from Men Tsee Kang.
** The exact identification of this medicine is uncertain. It is possibly calcined Boar feces, but may be another part from a pig. Sus domestica (Pig) has been given by several sources. The version from Men Tsee Kang lists Black Pepper (Pho ba ris) for this medicine.
*** The source text lists a mix of Ar nag (Aloeswood) and A gar go snyod (Cinnamomum parthenoxylon, another variety of Agar) taken equally to make 50 grams, Regular Aloeswood can be used for both.
**** The samll dose of Bear Bile in the first column would intend true Bear Bile. The much larger dose in the second column would intend either a herbal substitute, or perhaps Cow Bile.
