For long-standing blood and qi masses, masses, and abdominal lumps that have not responded to other treatments.

Instructions for Use

If caused by dietary indiscretion following childbirth, resulting in stagnation lodged in the abdomen or flanks that periodically triggers unbearable pain, soak Angelica sinensis in 1 sheng of wine; gradually take small amounts of the wine to swallow 7 to 10 pills. To dissolve masses, take 3 to 5 pills on an empty stomach with warm wine.Squeeze out all the remaining herbal residue, dry it in an oven, and grind it into a powder. Separately, add half a liang of dried Rehmannia root, 1 fen of genuine pollen, and 1 fen of Cnidium flower (stir-fried with vinegar until charred yellow), then grind them together into a powder. Use the remaining starch paste from the previous San Sheng Pills to form pills the size of mung beans. This treats women suffering from cold qi attacking the blood organs, causing pain and oppression in the heart and chest, as well as all types of blood clots; take 10 pills with warm wine.
