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.
