Laurent was chief Physician to the King of France in the 17th century. He apparently confessed the syrup was originally written by Castellana, the King's Surgeon, however it still carried his name. It first appeared in a book by Laurent regarding Conservation of Sight, Melancholy, Catarrh and old Age.

It Nourishes Heart Yin, clears Heat, settles the Heart and calms the Spirits, thereby promoting an Exhilarative effect.

It is similar to Syrup of Apples Purgative (King Sabor's Syrup).
