Benefits

Instructions for Use
Take 2–3 doses per day. Additionally, apply a paste of Yanlei Dan mixed with scallions to the neck, using the “pushing needle” technique to ensure the toxin disperses upward and does not penetrate deeper into the body. If white plaque has already appeared, it is most important to strictly adhere to this formula; treatment must continue until the white plaque has completely disappeared.
