Translation

Clears the voice and moistens the lung, stops cough, frees the qi and quiets the spirit. White sugar 8 nyang; mint leaf 4 nyang; persimmon frost 4 nyang; mirabilite powder, borax, glauberite and mume flesh 5 don each; borneol 5 pun. Powder them, boil licorice water down to a paste and bind into pills the size of a euryale seed; let one melt overnight in the mouth and take it down with tea. — Manbyeong Hoechun 回春 (Donguibogam · Seongeum)

Clinical commentary 臨床

A throat lozenge, and it is built like one: sugar and persimmon frost for the body, mint and borneol for the cooling that is felt rather than reasoned, borax and glauberite for the heat. 枾霜, the white bloom on a dried persimmon, is still sold for sore throats in Korea. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
