Processing
Place the ingredients in an old copper bowl and grind them with 10 ancient coins until a thick, blue paste adheres to the bottom of the bowl. Take a bundle of dried mugwort tied tightly into a ball about the size of a chicken’s egg. Dig a small pit in the ground, place the mugwort bundle in the pit, and burn it until smoke rises. Cover the bowl with the copper bowl, pile earth around the edges to prevent smoke from escaping, and once the mugwort has burned completely, scrape off the blue paste adhering to the bowl.
Benefits
Redness of the eyes.
Instructions for Use
Take an amount roughly half the size of a soybean, grind it finely in a clam shell, wrap the tip of a twig in cotton, and instill it into both inner corners of the eyes. Lie on your back with your face upward to apply it. If ancient coins are unavailable, green coins may be used as a substitute.
