Processing

Except for the oil, ghee, and lotus seed juice, coarsely grind the remaining herbs. Wrap them in cotton. First, place the ghee and oil in a clean cauldron; then add the herbs. Simmer over alternating high and low heat for half a day. Next, add the lotus seed juice and continue simmering until the liquid is completely absorbed and the ointment is formed. Strain out the residue, let the ointment settle, and transfer it to an oil-resistant bottle.

Benefits

For wind-toxin ascending from the five viscera causing opacities in the eyes, as well as kidney deficiency leading to dim vision, corneal opacities, and strabismus.

Instructions for Use

Each night before bed, use a small iron spoon to scoop about 1 qian of the ointment and apply it to the crown of the head. Gently massage it in with the iron spoon until it is absorbed into the pores. This will immediately bring a cooling sensation to the brain. For mild cases, this need not be repeated more than 6–7 times; for severe cases, continue massaging until half the dose is used. Apply once every 2–5 nights, massaging over 3,000 times each time. It also promotes hair growth.
