Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治喉閉危急, 宜開關. 巴豆肉以紙壓取油, 用紙作撚子點燈吹滅, 以烟熏鼻中. 一時口鼻流涎, 牙關自開. 《經驗》

Translation

Treats a closed throat in a critical case, to open the gate. Press the oil of croton kernels onto paper, twist the paper into a taper, light it and blow it out, and let the smoke into the nose. Presently drool runs from mouth and nose and the clenched jaw opens of itself. — Gyeongheombang 經驗 (Donguibogam · Inhu)

Clinical commentary 臨床

**Croton oil is a severe irritant and vesicant; its smoke is caustic to the airway. This must not be prepared.** The Teeth chapter's Gongnaesogeo-san uses the same lit-taper device for a toothache. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
