Instructions for Use
Decoct in water and take orally. Before ulceration, apply Wulong Ointment externally; after ulceration, use a red silk thread to draw out the clear pus and toxins—the thread should be inserted horizontally, not vertically. If, after ulceration, the wound becomes slimy and oozes fluid, apply a mixture of chicken egg white, wine-processed medicinal powder, and a small amount of calcined alum for several days; once the pus thickens, cover the ointment with Fuhai Powder.
