Benefits

Loss of vital essence, deficiency of heart blood; consumptive diseases.

Instructions for Use

The deer need not be newborn; simply use 1 or 2 domesticated male deer. Each day, decoct 1 liang of ginseng into a decoction for the deer to drink, and feed the residue mixed with fodder to the deer.On the night before each procedure, reduce the deer’s food intake. The following morning, on an empty stomach, tie the deer to a bed with a cloth so that its head is lowered and its tail raised. Use a three-edged needle to puncture the hair follicle in front of the outer corner of the eye (known as the Tianchi acupoint). Insert a silver tube about 3 cun long into the bridge of the nose and suck out the blood, mixing it with medicinal wine (any variety, or a decoction of Bazhen Powder with added agarwood and wood fragrant) to the fullest extent possible.This may be done once a month; the deer will remain unharmed. If a butcher draws blood from a deer, mixing it with wine while still warm to induce intoxication is also an excellent method.
