Instructions for Use
Add a small amount of water and simmer until it reaches the desired consistency of an ointment; spread it on paper and apply to the affected area. Next, take two strips of soft white cloth, boil them in strong rice vinegar until hot, and alternately strain the liquid onto the ointment-coated paper; while still hot, steam and apply heat to the area.If the sore itches, it means the medicine is attacking the disease; one must endure the itching and continue steaming and ironing without stopping until the pus has almost completely drained. Then, prepare a concentrated decoction of Guanzhong Decoction, let it cool to a warm temperature, and wash away the ointment-coated paper. If pus is still draining from the sore the next day, repeat the previous method to ensure all pus is completely drained. It is safe to continue steaming and ironing for several consecutive days until the sore dries up; thereafter, apply Hongyu Powder.
