Donguibogam 東醫寶鑑

治喉痛生瘡聲啞. 白硼砂 二錢, 孩兒茶ㆍ靑黛ㆍ滑石ㆍ寒水石 各一錢, 蒲黃ㆍ馬牙硝ㆍ枯白礬 各六分, 黃連ㆍ黃栢 各五分, 片腦 二分. 右細末, 煉化白砂糖和丸芡實大, 臥時舌壓一丸, 自化入喉神效. 一方以葦筒吹少許入喉中亦神效. 《醫鑑》

Translation

Treats throat pain with sores and a lost voice. White borax 2 don; cutch, indigo, talc and glauberite 1 don each; cattail pollen, saltpetre crystal and calcined alum 6 pun each; coptis and phellodendron 5 pun each; borneol 2 pun. Powder finely, melt white sugar and bind into pills the size of a fox-nut; at bedtime hold one under the tongue and it melts of itself down into the throat — divinely effective. Another method blows a little into the throat through a reed tube, likewise divinely effective. — Gogeum Uigam 醫鑑 (Donguibogam · Inhu)

Clinical commentary 臨床

舌壓一丸, 自化入喉 — hold a pill under the tongue and it melts down into the throat of itself. A sublingual lozenge taken lying down at night, so it works for hours; it is the most carefully designed delivery in the chapter. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
