Benefits

For wounds that will not heal.

Instructions for Use

First, wash a clean, old piece of silk cloth and let it dry. Cut the silk into a circular disc roughly the size of the sore, leaving a small opening in the center. Then, use a small pot to heat a small amount of rice vinegar—just enough to cover the mixture. Add the prepared medicine to the vinegar, let it cool, spread it onto the silk disc, and apply it to the sore. Change the dressing once a day.This formula has repeatedly saved lives; do not dismiss it simply because the ingredients are humble.
