Processing
Coarsely chop the ingredients, place them in a raw silk bag, and add 9 dou of ash-free, high-proof liquor. Soak in a porcelain jar for 10 days in spring, 7 days in summer, and 14 days in fall and winter, then remove the herb bag. Drain thoroughly, sun-dry, grind into a fine powder, and mix with refined honey to form pills the size of a paulownia seed.
Instructions for Use
Take 50 pills at a time, washed down with ash-free wine. Take 3 small cups of the medicinal wine at the fifth watch each morning, then lie down for a short while; follow this routine year-round. If you feel a sense of emptiness in the abdomen, take 3 cups while sitting up at night—this is most beneficial.
Note
After taking the wine, strictly avoid raw or cold foods, as well as scallions, garlic, Chinese chives, radishes, and fish. Detach yourself from worldly concerns and practice this regimen with sincere devotion without interruption.
