blood clots, blood-induced parasitic infections, and all types of stagnation and mass in both adults and children.

Instructions for Use

Take 3 pills each time, washed down with warm water. Do not use hot water, as it will cause pain. If the accumulation has persisted for many years, first eat 3 raw and 3 cooked *Shijunzi* in the morning, then take these pills in the afternoon.Do not eat or drink in the evening. Place a clean bucket nearby to observe the bowel movement; if the red medicine has not been expelled, it indicates that the accumulation has not yet been eliminated. Drink one cup of warm wine to induce a bowel movement, and the medicine and the accumulation will naturally be expelled together. If diarrhea persists, stop it with warm congee.

Note

Avoid oil and salt for 7 days.
