Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治婦人陰腫如石, 痛不可忍, 二便不利, 欲死. 橘皮ㆍ枳實 各四兩, 炒令香熱, 以絹袋盛, 分兩包, 遍身從上至下及陰腫處, 頻頻熨之. 冷則換溫者, 直至喉中有枳實氣卽效. 《入門》
Translation
Treats a woman with the genitals swollen hard as stone and pain that cannot be borne, neither stool nor urine passing, close to death. Tangerine peel and bitter orange 4 nyang each, stir-fried until fragrant and hot, put into silk bags and divided into two bundles. Iron the whole body with them from the top downward and over the swollen genitals, again and again; when one cools, change it for the warm one. The sign of effect is the taste of bitter orange in the throat. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Jeoneum)
