Translation

Treats diaphragm heat with sores arising on mouth and tongue and a swollen painful throat. Licorice (mix-fried) 2 nyang; agastache leaf, gypsum (calcined) and gardenia kernel 1 nyang each. Powder them and take 1 don at a time stirred into fresh water. — Dongwon 東垣 (Donguibogam · Guseol)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Taken in cold water rather than decocted, which keeps it in the mouth longer on the way down. Licorice doubled is what makes it tolerable to a sore mouth. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
