Translation

Treats long-standing cough that will not heal. Aster and coltsfoot, 1 nyang each; stemona root, 5 don. Grind to a powder and give 3 don each time stirred into a decoction of three slices of ginger and one smoked plum, after food. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Haesu)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Three drugs, and all three are still used for exactly this. Aster and coltsfoot are the tradition's standing pair for a chronic cough — 百花膏 is the two of them alone, and this formula is that pair with stemona added. Stemona is the one with a modern rationale: its alkaloids are antitussive and the root has been used against lice and worms for the same reason. **Coltsfoot contains hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids and is restricted for internal use in several countries. Stemona is toxic in overdose.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
