Processing

First, take 1 jin of hair from a person in their prime and 3 jin of vegetable oil. Simmer in a pot until the hair is parched and floats to the surface; remove the residue and set aside for later use. Take 10 jin each of fresh burdock, chrysanthemum, cocklebur root and leaves, silver vine, verbena, and “Sitting Immortals” herb, and add 10 jin of vegetable oil. Simmer until the herbs are parched, then strain out the liquid. Next, add 0.5 jin each of white angelica,Licorice, Wulingzhi, and Angelica sinensis—each half jin—into a pot and simmer until the herbs are withered; strain out the residue. Once the oil has cooled, combine it with the oil from the previous hair preparation, bringing the total to one jin;For every 1 jin of oil, add 7 liang of orpiment (huangdan) that has been thoroughly stir-fried that same day; mix well into the oil and simmer until a drop of the mixture forms a bead when dropped into water. Take a small amount of the ointment between two fingers to form a pill; the pill should not stick to the fingers. Remove from heat and allow the heat to subside, then spread the ointment on oiled paper. To make a milder ointment, add 4 liang of orpiment to every 1 jin of oil and simmer until blackened; set aside for future use.
