Instructions for Use
Add 2 teacups of water and decoct until reduced to 1 cup. Then take a 2–3-cun section of the child’s own umbilical cord, dry it on a charcoal-heated tile, grind it into a fine powder, and mix it into the decoction. Administer the entire dose to the child in small, frequent doses throughout the day. The measles will appear the very next day, and the condition will resolve within three days—without pus formation or scab formation. This treatment is effective only if administered within the first 18 days of the child’s life.
