Formula from *The Lean Immortal’s Prescriptions for Saving Lives*, Volume 2; name cited in *Collected Medical Formulas*, Volume 70.

Processing

Take the four ingredients—bear bile, ox gallstone, lily seed, and Coptis—and simmer them in two large bowls of running water in a porcelain vessel until reduced to half a bowl. Filter through a double layer of cotton to remove the dregs, then add the honey. Simmer over alternating high and low heat until the mixture turns purple; the consistency should be such that when dipped, it forms a thread—neither too thick nor too thin. Remove from heat, add the borax and powdered borneol, and mix thoroughly.seal it tightly in a porcelain bottle, and bury it in the ground for 7 days to remove any fiery properties.
