Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑
治舌上出血如泉. 五倍子ㆍ白膠香ㆍ牡蠣粉. 右等分爲末, 糝患處. 《得效》
Translation
Treats bleeding from the tongue like a spring. Gallnut, sweetgum resin and oyster shell powder in equal parts, powdered and dusted on the affected place. — Seui Deukhyobang 得效 (Donguibogam · Hyeol)
Clinical commentary 臨床
Gallnut is the strongest plant astringent in the materia medica, and dusted on a bleeding tongue it does what it does on any wound. The tongue has its own section at 1.20 because bleeding from it was held to be the heart's — the tongue is the heart's sprout — and the treatment is local nonetheless. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
