Processing

Take the yolk and white of a fresh egg and mix them with realgar. Place the mixture in a copper cauldron, cover it with a lid, seal it tightly to prevent steam from escaping, and heat over a low flame—the lid should be warm enough to fit a hand on top.do not use excessive heat. Keep the fire burning continuously for three days and nights; when it cools, remove it, skim off the scum on top—the clear liquid remains at the bottom, bubbling like quicksilver. It solidifies when cold but softens again when warmed by human breath. One jin yields ten liang after refinement; store it in a bamboo tube and keep it away from drafts.

Instructions for Use

Take a dose the size of a sesame seed each time.
