Instructions for Use

For intractable sores, first prepare a concentrated decoction of Sichuan pepper, fine tea leaves, and mugwort; wash the affected area frequently with this warm solution until clean. Then use oiled paper to seal the puncture holes—if the wound is large, puncture the entire affected area—and apply the medicated paper over the sores. Change the dressing three times a day for the first two days, then once a day thereafter. The area must be thoroughly cleaned before each dressing change.
