For various life-threatening conditions resulting from trauma.

Instructions for Use

Add 20 bowls of water and decoct until reduced to 5–6 bowls; allow the patient to drink freely. Since wounds from blades invariably result in profuse bleeding, the patient will inevitably experience thirst; drinking plain water may lead to immediate death, but drinking this decoction will quench the thirst, close the wound, and eliminate any danger to life.
