For chronic toxic conditions caused by bayberry or mercury poisoning, where wounds fail to heal, accompanied by pain in the tendons and bones and constant moaning day and night; as well as for conditions such as stiffness and spasms of the hands and feet, opisthotonos, and bayberry-induced madness.

Instructions for Use

Decoct in 4 bowls of water until the pork is cooked through. Remove the pork and chop it finely. Mix the decoction with wine and take it in 2 doses if the amount is large, or 1 dose if small. For upper-body conditions, take after meals; for middle-body conditions, take well after meals; for lower-body conditions, take on an empty stomach. Re-decoct the residue and take at midday; decoct the residue a third time and take before bed; additional decoctions may also be used as a tea substitute.Take one dose per day; do not skip any doses. After taking 3–4 doses, you may experience weakness and soreness in the hands and feet, or pain throughout the body—this is a sign that the medicine is expelling the toxin, so there is no need to be alarmed. By the 10th dose, the treatment will take effect, and muscle tissue will gradually regenerate; continue taking it until the sores heal, at which point your vitality will be twice as strong as usual.
