Translation

Treats spontaneous and night sweating. Gallnut and calcined alum in equal parts, powdered, mixed evenly with one's own saliva, packed into the navel and bound on with silk — immediately effective. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Jinaek) Another formula: fleeceflower powdered, mixed with saliva and sealed into the navel — excellent. — Dansim 丹心

Clinical commentary 臨床

Packed into the navel with one's own saliva — the Body chapter's 1.29 to 1.31 navel methods, applied to sweating. Gallnut is one of the strongest astringents in the pharmacy, and the navel method is still used in Korea for children's night sweats. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
