Translation

Treats wine-nose, which is blood heat entering the lung. Flavescent sophora 4 nyang; angelica 2 nyang. Powder them, bind with wine paste into pills the size of a firmiana seed, and take seventy or eighty with hot clear tea. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Bi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

Two medicinals at two to one — sophora to dry and cool, angelica to keep the drying from hardening the blood. The name takes one graph from each. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
