For sudden redness and pain in the eyes caused by heat, where the heat is superficial and easily resolved.

Instructions for Use

Make a small hole in the egg to extract only the egg white; place it in a porcelain bowl. Grind Coptis into a coarse powder and sprinkle it over the egg white. Using chopsticks, beat thoroughly and quickly several hundred times until a froth forms, yielding about half a bowl—this is the correct amount.Let it sit for a short while, then use chopsticks to part the foam and pour out the clear liquid. Apply it to the inner corner of the eye; do not close your eyelids tightly to force the medicine out. Hot tears will well up several times, and the condition will be cured. Adding a small amount of borneol is particularly effective. If the egg is small and contains little white, you may add 2–3 spoons of water and beat them together.
