Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治陰汗濕痒. 大蒜 不拘多少, 煨熟去皮, 爛硏, 同淡豆豉末和丸梧子大, 朱砂爲衣. 棗子ㆍ燈心煎湯, 空心呑下三十丸. 《得效》

Translation

Treats genital sweating with dampness and itching. Garlic, any amount, roasted in ash until cooked, skinned and ground to a pulp, bound with powdered fermented soybean into pills the size of a firmiana seed and coated with cinnabar. Take thirty on an empty stomach with a decoction of jujube and juncus. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Jinaek)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Roasted garlic for a damp itch in the groin — garlic's antifungal action is real, and the damp itching sweat of 5.10 is very often a fungal intertrigo. **The cinnabar coating is toxic and should be omitted.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
