For any case of throat swelling and pain, take a small amount of this powder and place it on a small plaster. Apply it to the left side if the swelling is on the left, and to the right side if the swelling is on the right. If both sides are swollen, apply the plaster evenly to the soft area beside the Adam’s apple. After 5–6 hours, blisters will form. Remove the plaster, use a silver needle to prick open the blisters, and wipe away the toxic fluid. Do not expose the wound to drafts.
