Translation

Treats polyps within the nose blocking it with pain. Magnolia flower 2 nyang; asarum, akebia, costus, angelica dahurica and apricot kernel 5 don each. With 2 nyang of sheep marrow and lard, mix the medicines in a stone vessel and simmer over a slow fire to an ointment of a reddish-yellow colour; let it cool, stir in borneol and musk 1 don each, form into pellets, wrap in cotton wool and pack into the nose. In a few days the polyp falls away and it heals. For a child with clear discharge from the nose, stick this on the fontanelle and also smear it within the nose.

Clinical commentary 臨床

An ointment packed against the polyp until it drops — 數日脫落, a few days and it falls away. The second use, smeared inside a child's nose and stuck on the fontanelle, is the chapter's gentlest application of the same thing. **Musk is from a CITES-listed species.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
