Processing
Finely chop the ingredients, add 20 bowls of water, and decoct until reduced to 12–13 bowls; then strain out the residue.Additionally, use 2.5 bowls of mulberry wood ash, 2.5 bowls of quicklime, and 2.5 bowls of cocklebur grass ash. Place two layers of grass paper and two layers of rice paper on the bottom of a sieve, then layer the ash on top. Pour the hot decoction over it to extract the ash juice—about 10 bowls—and let it settle. Transfer the clarified liquid to a pot and boil it down into a paste. Add croton seed powder, white cloves, gypsum, musk, and mercury oxide, then store the mixture in a porcelain jar.
Benefits
Scrofula.
Instructions for Use
Each time, apply the ointment to the nodule; before reapplying, remove the old medication and any scab, then apply the new ointment. The nodule will then ulcerate and heal. For small nodules, simply apply the ointment to the base, and the nodule will ulcerate on its own. If a scrofula nodule has ulcerated on its own but the core remains, first use an iron branding iron heated until red-hot to cauterize away the remaining core and the ulcerated tissue, then apply this ointment.
