Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
石灰水調一盞如稀糊, 糯米全者, 半置灰中, 半出灰外, 經宿則其米變如水精. 先以鍼微撥靨子, 置少米於其上, 經半日許, 靨汁自出, 剔去其藥, 不得着水, 二三日愈. 《綱目》
Translation
Mix a jan of lime with water to a thin paste; take whole grains of glutinous rice and set them half buried in the lime and half out of it. Overnight the rice turns clear as crystal. First open the blemish a little with a needle, put a few of the grains on it, and in about half a day the blemish's fluid runs out of itself; pick the medicine off, keep water away from it, and in two or three days it heals. — Uihak Gangmok 綱目 (Donguibogam · Pi)
