For centipedes entering the ear or scorpion stings.

Instructions for Use

If a centipede enters the ear, take a small amount of the powder, mix it with 1 liang of vinegar until dissolved, dip a fine feather in the mixture, insert it into the ear canal, and gently blow to disperse the medicinal vapor—the centipede will emerge immediately. Do not use too much medicine; if too much is used, it will dissolve the centipede into liquid, preventing its expulsion. For a scorpion sting, first apply a small amount of vinegar to the affected area, then apply about half a zi of the medicine and rub until the area becomes warm.
