For severe heat and conditions caused by the activation of mineral substances, where the effects of these minerals are uncontrollable.

Instructions for Use

Pound the first seven ingredients separately and sift them coarsely;for the latter seven ingredients, clarify them until clear; place the powder of the aforementioned seven ingredients into a copper vessel, decoct over an extremely low flame to yield 7 sheng, let it settle overnight until clear, then transfer it to a clean porcelain crucible and store it in a clean place; seal the opening with a thick silk cloth for 120 days. It will solidify like frozen ice, taking the form of white quartz with eight facets. When fully formed, some may be as large as a thumb, and some may be 1 chi long; this is called “Seven-Water Ice.”For those experiencing fever after taking mineral remedies, mix this with well water and take 5 fen per dose; a single dose will immediately subdue severe fever. For fever due to typhoid, take one daogui; for children with fever, give an amount the size of a sesame seed.

Note

Do not use in excess; seven days after the fever subsides following medication, one must strictly avoid alcohol, meat, and pungent spices.
