Processing

Finely chop all the above herbs, place them in oil, and simmer over alternating low and high heat. When the Angelica dahurica turns purple, remove from heat, strain out the residue, and use 3 jin of realgar (previously rinsed with water and heated) along with 1 liang of musk (sifted). Gradually add these to the simmering herbal oil as it comes to a boil. Test the consistency by dripping a small amount into water; it should be soft yet firm and not sticky to the touch.
