For cases where the skin and flesh are lacerated after caning, presenting with red, purple, or blue spots, severe swelling, pain, and a sensation of heaviness and sagging.
Instructions for Use
If there is blood present after the beating, do not wash the area with water. Instead, apply the medicine to promote bowel movements and cover the area with paper and a cloth bandage. In summer, leave it on for one day; in winter, for two days. Then, rinse the area clean with scallion broth and reapply the medicine. Once the pain subsides and the swelling recedes, the bruises will fade. For severe injuries, apply Yu Hong Ointment separately to promote wound healing.
