治同上. 龍腦 一分, 椒目 五錢, 杏仁泥 二錢半. 右爲末, 和捻棗核大, 綿裹塞耳, 日二易. 《寶鑑》
Translation
Treats the same. Borneol 1 pun; zanthoxylum seed 5 don; apricot-kernel paste 2 don 5 pun. Powder them, bind into pieces the size of a jujube stone, wrap in cotton wool and pack in the ear, changing it twice a day. — Wigye Bogam 寶鑑 (Donguibogam · I)
Clinical commentary 臨床
Borneol at a single pun — the cooling, penetrating aromatic the tradition adds to anything meant to reach an orifice. The Nose chapter's Sinihyanggo uses it the same way. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
