Instructions for Use

Add 2 liang of lead powder (the type used by lacquerers) to the two types of residue, grind until uniform, and heat in a wok with oil until extremely hot. Wrap tightly in a cloth, then massage and apply heat to the swollen area in a direction that follows the flow of qi. First apply through the cloth, then press directly against the skin and apply heat again. If the mixture cools, mix in ginger and scallion juice, stir until smooth, heat briefly in the wok, and apply heat multiple times until the patient feels completely relieved.
