Processing

Grind the ingredients into a fine powder. First, take a jar and seal it tightly with a mixture of paper pulp, salt, and Chinese chives. Allow it to dry, then fill it with the medicine. Cover the jar’s opening with a small tile and seal it with mud.If there are cracks in the mud seal, patch them with more mud and allow it to dry. On the designated day, dig a large, deep earthen basin on the ground, 2 chi in diameter. First, place a layer of charcoal embers 5 cun thick inside the basin; set the medicine jar on top of them. Surround the jar and cover the top with additional charcoal embers. Calcine for about half a day, preserving the medicinal properties. Once the fire has cooled, bury the jar in the earth to remove the toxic heat from the fire. Grind into a fine powder and store it in a porcelain jar.

Instructions for Use
