Once the antlers are soft, remove the Eucommia bark, dry the antlers in an oven, and grind them into a fine powder.

Instructions for Use

For each dose, take 4 liang of deer antler and 1 liang of Aconite (roasted, with skin and pith removed); grind them together into a powder. Use the gelatinous substance obtained from boiling the antlers to form pills the size of a Paulownia seed. Take 30–50 pills per dose on an empty stomach, washed down with warm wine or salted water.
