Seal the jar tightly, place it in a large pot, fill the pot with water, and simmer over a moderate to high heat using mulberry wood until three sticks of incense have burned. Once the water in the pot has cooled, remove the jar and bury it in a shaded area for three days to remove the heat toxicity.
