Processing
First, simmer the oil over low heat for about 3 shichen. Then add the two bundles containing the apricot kernels and Angelica sinensis. Wait until the apricot kernels turn yellowish-purple, then strain out these two ingredients. Next, add the peach and willow twigs and simmer; strain them out when they reach the same stage as the apricot kernels.Filter the liquid through a separate piece of gauze and simmer again. Add lead丹, stirring continuously with a willow wood spatula in a constant counterclockwise motion. When the mixture thickens, take a small amount of the ointment and drop it into water; if it sinks straight to the bottom without spreading across the surface, the ointment is ready. Pour it into a porcelain container and let it cool. Then soak it in freshly drawn water overnight; the next morning, drain the water and store the ointment.
