== Notice ==

This app contains translations of classical texts, not medical information. The prescriptions, medicinal ingredients, dosages, and acupuncture points in the text are merely records from 17th-century medical texts and do not constitute modern guidelines for diagnosis, treatment, or medication. Do not follow these instructions arbitrarily; please consult a Korean medicine doctor for any health issues.

Warnings have been added in footnotes regarding medicinal ingredients with a high risk of poisoning, such as mercury, arsenic, cinnabar, and croton seeds, as well as treatments that are not practiced today.

Animal-derived medicinal ingredients whose trade is prohibited under international conventions (CITES), such as rhinoceros horn, tiger bone, and pangolin, also appear in the text. These are simply reproductions of records from 17th-century literature and cannot be obtained or used today. Medicinal ingredients with trade restrictions, such as musk and antelope horn, are used only with a Korean medicine doctor's prescription if they have been imported with permission. This app does not recommend obtaining or using these medicinal ingredients arbitrarily in any way.
