Translation

Treats sores arising on mouth and tongue. Phellodendron, mint and borax in equal parts, with half as much borneol. Powder them, make honey pills the size of a bullet, and melt one in the mouth at night. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Guseol)

Clinical commentary 臨床

A lozenge kept in the mouth overnight, which is how the chapter delivers most of what it wants to reach an ulcer. Borax and borneol are in almost every one of these. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
