Instructions for Use

First, set up a large cauldron and stove in an empty room. Place a deep earthenware steamer over the cauldron so that its rim is elevated. Use paper-reinforced lime mortar to seal the joints of the steamer and the cauldron, ensuring no air can escape.Wait until it dries, then pour in urine—filling the pot no more than 7-fen full. Place the pot over a rice-straw fire on the stove and have a dedicated person monitor it. If the mixture begins to boil over, immediately add a small amount of cold urine to prevent it from boiling over; wait until it dries, then grind it into a fine powder. Place the powder in a well-sealed container, seal it properly according to standard procedures, and calcine it in an ash furnace. Immediately take 2–3 liang of the calcined powder, grind it again into a fine powder, and mix it with boiled jujube pulp to form pills the size of mung beans.Take 5–7 pills per dose, gradually increasing to 15 pills, and swallow them on an empty stomach with salted water. The powdered medicine should always be kept near a fire; occasionally, maintain the heat for 3–5 days to maximize its efficacy.
