Instructions for Use

Make a wick from cotton paper; each wick should contain 3 fen of the medicine. Dip it in sesame oil, light it at the lamp, and hold it about one cun away from the affected area. Slowly shine the light around the area, moving from the outside in. For severe infections, use 3 wicks and apply the treatment twice daily; for milder cases, use 1 wick and apply the treatment once daily.For severe cases, relief will come within 5–6 days at most; established sores will dissipate immediately, and those that have already ruptured will heal. For latent sores that have not yet surfaced, a single treatment will cause a red halo to appear, and the toxin will be expelled with the heat, ensuring no lasting complications.
