Benefits

In women, excessive stomach fire combines with the fire of the Gate of Life, the bladder, and the Triple Burner to cause intense internal agitation. This results in black vaginal discharge—in severe cases, resembling black bean juice—with a foul odor. Symptoms include abdominal pain, a stinging sensation like a knife during urination, swelling of the vulva, a flushed complexion, and, over time, a sallow and emaciated appearance. Appetite is poor, and the patient experiences a burning sensation and thirst in the mouth; drinking cool water brings slight relief.

Instructions for Use

Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, the pain during urination ceases and urination becomes unobstructed; after two doses, the black vaginal discharge turns white; after three doses, the white discharge also decreases slightly; and after another three doses, the condition is completely cured.

Note

After recovery, one should eat in moderation, avoid pungent and heating foods, and nourish the spleen. If one relies solely on this formula and takes it immediately upon the onset of symptoms, it will inevitably damage one’s vital energy. Exercise caution!
