Benefits

Smallpox is caused by the combined attack of wind and cold; the toxin is severe and obstructed, unable to reach the surface.

Note

After three days, when the smallpox lesions have fully erupted and blood blisters have formed, and all the previous symptoms have subsided, this formula should no longer be used, as excessive dispersing action may hinder the subsequent stage of serous discharge and resolution.
