Instructions for Use

Place the scallion whites (with roots) and Sichuan peppercorns into the vegetable oil and simmer until the mixture turns dark. Strain out the residue, then add the white beeswax, yellow beeswax, and white alum. Melt the mixture over low heat, remove from the heat, and wait until the boiling subsides slightly. Add the Dongdan and stir vigorously to mix evenly. Pour into a bowl and place on damp ground for one day and one night to remove the heat toxicity.Then, steep 5–6 fen of raw alum in one bowl of boiling water. Wash the sore clean and pat it dry. Apply the ointment to a thickness of a coin, cover it with oiled paper, then cover that with coarse straw paper that has been lightly softened by rubbing, and bind it with silk or cloth.Wash and apply the ointment once daily, securing the dressing as described; the sore will heal within a few days. However, even after the sore heals, blisters will likely form around the edges, causing extreme itching. Under no circumstances should you scratch them; if scratched open, they will form new sores. Therefore, even after healing, continue washing and applying the ointment as before, including the blisters. Continue this for 3–4 days, and the condition will be fully healed with no further itching.
