Processing
For the first five ingredients: crush the chrysanthemum flowers; finely chop the three ingredients starting with Coptis. Add 2 sheng of water and a copper coin, then simmer in a silver or stone vessel over low heat until reduced to 1 sheng. Filter out the residue using fresh cloth. For the ten ingredients starting with Lead丹: grind them into a fine powder, add 6 liang of honey, and mix thoroughly with the previous decoction. Simmer in a silver vessel over a double boiler for 6 shichen, then filter out the residue using fresh cotton.Take the 13 ingredients starting with Borax, grind them all finely and sift them, then grind them again until they are as fine as flour. Add them to the previous ointment and simmer in a double boiler until it reaches the consistency of thin syrup. If making pills, roll them into balls the size of a paulownia seed.
Benefits
For chronic conditions such as stagnant blood and eyelid ulcers, as well as sudden onset of red, itchy eyes.
Instructions for Use
Take 1 pill at a time, dissolve it in water, and apply it to both inner corners of the eyes using a copper chopstick. For chronic conditions such as blood stasis and eyelid ulcers, this treatment has never failed to cure. For sudden red, itchy eyes, apply it just 2–3 times for a cure; some patients with blood stasis filling the entire eye have seen it completely dissipate upon using this remedy, restoring vision as clear as before the illness.
