Translation

Treats throat impediment swollen and painful so that one cannot speak. This is the method of treating by following, and none fails to heal. Platycodon 2 don; licorice (mix-fried) 1 don 5 pun; ginseng, white atractylodes and red poria 1 don each; saposhnikovia 7 pun; schizonepeta, mint and dried ginger (roasted) 5 pun each. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take. — Uihak Jeongjeon 正傳 (Donguibogam · Inhu)

Clinical commentary 臨床

從治 — treating by following: warming and supplementing a swollen throat rather than cooling it. Sagunja-tang with the throat medicinals and a little roasted ginger, for the patient in whom every cooling formula has failed. The Mouth chapter's 3.12.5 makes the same reversal for an ulcer. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
