Formula for Large Schizonepeta,For boils, abscesses, and brain sores—whether they have a head or not—as long as there is swelling and pain.

Formulas Name : Formula for Large Schizonepeta

Chinese Name : 大荆芥方

Drug Formulation

Large Schizonepeta root (wash thoroughly, cut into fine pieces, and grind until pulpy. One source suggests adding a small amount of rice vinegar while grinding, as this helps the Schizonepeta break down more easily)—use as much as needed.

Source

*Formulas for Universal Relief*, Volume 288.

Processing

Mix with a small amount of starch until well blended.

Benefits

For boils, abscesses, and brain sores—whether they have a head or not—as long as there is swelling and pain.

Instructions for Use

Apply a quantity of medicine about the size of a millet seed to the head of the sore; reapply after a short while, and the tissue will feel soft. Alternatively, depending on the size of the sore, spread the mixture over the affected area—it will feel as cold as ice. Leave a ring-shaped opening about one wei in diameter; once it dries, replace the application. The opening will gradually shrink until the sore breaks open.
