Translation

Treats vacuity fire rising with throat pain, throat closure, or sores arising. Scrophularia 2 don; white peony and cooked rehmannia 1 don each; angelica, chuanxiong, phellodendron (child's-urine fried), anemarrhena, raw trichosanthes root and licorice 7 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water, stir in 3 spoonfuls of bamboo sap and take warm. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Inhu)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Scrophularia doubled at the head. It is the medicinal the tradition gives for a throat sore from dryness rather than heat, and it is what distinguishes this from the formula above. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
