Benefits

For men and women suffering from hemorrhoids, regardless of whether sores are present or not.

Instructions for Use

Use 5 qian of the mixture per dose, add 1 bowl of water, and boil for 5–7 boils. Pour the solution into a deep basin and have the patient sit directly on top of it. Enclose the patient with clothing or blankets to trap the steam—do not allow air to escape. Once the solution has cooled enough to handle, rinse the affected area with it until the liquid has cooled completely; do not wipe it dry. Cover the patient and have them lie down for about one hour. After rinsing, it is even more effective to warm the bedding slightly over a fire before the patient goes to bed.
