Translation

Treats a blocked nose with the brain cold and clear discharge that will not stop. Asarum, Sichuan pepper, dried ginger, chuanxiong, evodia and aconite 7 don 5 pun each; gleditsia shavings 5 don; cinnamon heartwood 1 nyang; lard 6 nyang. Render the lard to an ointment; steep the medicinals overnight in vinegar beforehand, then put them into the oil and simmer until the aconite is yellow, and stop. Wrap in cotton wool and pack it into the nostrils. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Bi)

Clinical commentary 臨床

An ointment packed into the nose rather than swallowed, with the aconite's colour as the sign that it is done. 腦冷 — the brain cold — is the chapter's way of saying the trouble is above and behind the nose. **Contains aconite, which is toxic. For external use only.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
