Chicken Egg Pill

Formulas Name : Chicken Egg Pill

Chinese Name : 鸡子丹

Drug Formulation

Eggshells, cinnabar.

Source

*Eight Notes on Nurturing Life*, Volume 13.

Processing

Raise pure white chickens, both male and female, and do not allow them to mix with other chickens. Poke a small hole in the eggshell, pour out the yolk and white, then mix high-quality cinnabar into a fine powder (since cinnabar is toxic, select aged cinnabar from soybean paste; boil it with tofu for one day, then grind into a powder), form it into a paste, and place it inside the egg. Seal the opening with wax. Have a white hen incubate the egg; once the chick hatches and the medicine is ready, make it into pills the size of a bean using honey.

Instructions for Use

Take 2 pills per dose, three times a day.
