Translation

Treats heat toxin with sores of mouth and tongue. Coptis and asarum in equal parts, powdered; first wipe the affected place clean with a cloth dipped in water, then apply the medicine and spit out the drool, and it heals. — Samin 三因 (Donguibogam · Guseol)

Clinical commentary 臨床

One bitter cold and one acrid warm, in equal parts. Coptis is the tradition's medicinal for a mouth ulcer and asarum numbs — the same pair the Nose chapter uses on a polyp. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
