Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治紫白癜風及瘑疥ㆍ斑䮕ㆍ甲錯汁出. 五月五日採蒼耳葉, 日乾爲末, 酒服二錢, 日二. 滿百日病當出, 皮起落痂, 肌如凝脂. 或蜜丸梧子大, 酒下三五十丸亦佳. 《本草》
Translation
Treats purple and white lichen wind, scabby itch, mottled white patches, and a cracked rough skin that weeps. Gather cocklebur leaf on the fifth day of the fifth month and dry it in the sun; powder it and take 2 don in wine, twice a day. At a hundred days the disease comes out, the skin lifts and the scabs fall away, and the flesh is like congealed cream. Or make honey pills the size of parasol-tree seeds and take thirty to fifty down with wine, which is also good. — Bonchogang 本草 (Donguibogam · Pi)
