Take half a liang per dose; add 2 bowls of water, decoct until reduced by half, and divide into 2 doses. Take 2 doses each in the morning and evening; decoct the residue to make a single dose. If there is pus and blood, the condition will resolve on its own; if pus and blood are internal, they will be expelled through the large intestine; if the abscess has not yet formed, it will dissipate on its own.For existing sores, apply the following ointment: 1 liang of Tongming Cowhide Glue (melted in half a sheng of water), 1 liang of Orpiment; mix the orpiment into the glue and boil for 3–5 boils. Allow the mixture to cool to a warm temperature, then apply it to the sore using a chicken feather. Existing sores will heal, and swelling that has not yet formed into a sore will dissipate internally upon application.
