Blackfish Decoction

Formulas Name : Blackfish Decoction

Chinese Name : 乌鱼煎

Drug Formulation

1 large blackfish (or 2–3 small ones).

Source

From *Xian Nian Ji*, Volume 3.

Instructions for Use

On New Year’s Eve, when all is quiet, boil the fish to make a decoction and bathe the child in it, ensuring the entire body and all seven orifices are covered; do not be put off by the fishy smell. If you do not believe this, leave one hand or one foot unwashed; when the child develops smallpox, the rash will be particularly concentrated in that area.
