Fermented mustard brine tasted spicy and salty and was considered as a feature of cold, and went to the lung meridian. Its effects were of clearing heat and reducing phlegm, calming coughing and expelling pus. It was mainly used for the treatment of lung carbuncle, and also for diseases such as lung impotence, laryngeal tinea, wheezing, coughing, vomiting pus and blood, and facial swelling. The ways to use it involved taking it directly (or taking it warm), taking it with hot soybean milk, having it with food, mixing it with decoction, and mixing it with houttuynia cordata juice.
