When ready to use, determine the size of the mass, soften it with a hot water bath, and shape it into a cake. First, rub a small amount of musk onto the skin to facilitate the penetration of the medicinal properties, then apply the medicated plaster. Secure it with a dog-skin plaster, and immediately use a hot iron to press down on the plaster 3–5 times. Finally, wrap it tightly with silk cloth. Change the dressing every 3 days to eliminate the root cause of the disease.
