Processing

Grind the ingredients into a fine powder. Fold thin paper into a small box, 2.5 inches square andand about 4 fen deep. Spread the powdered medicine inside the box. Next, dig a pit in the ground, 3–4 cun deep and wide enough to fit a bowl lid. Heat it with fire until extremely hot, then remove the kindling, leaving only three or two pieces of smoldering embers. Spread these on the bottom of the pit, place the medicine box inside, and quickly cover the pit opening with a porcelain bowl over the embers. Pile fine soil around the edges to seal it tightly, preventing smoke from escaping. After about the time it takes to cook two pots of rice, the medicine is ready.Wait until the bowl has cooled, then remove the medicine. The medicinal residue that has adhered to the bowl from the smoke should also be scraped off and ground into a fine powder. Once the medicine has been thoroughly heated and has solidified over the fire, add 9 qian of talcum powder and 1 qian of borneol, then grind thoroughly until uniform. Mix with water-soaked steamed buns to form pills the size of mung beans.
