Translation

Treats mouth sores. Gallnut 1 nyang; phellodendron (honey-roasted to a purple colour) and talc 5 don each. Powder them and dust 5 pun at a time inside the mouth — remarkably effective. — Damryo 澹寮 (Donguibogam · Guseol)

Clinical commentary 臨床

赴宴 — going to the banquet: the name promises a mouth fit to eat with by dinner. Gallnut is strongly astringent and tannic, and drying an ulcer is most of what can be done for it locally. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
