Instructions for Use

Apply this ointment once daily; do not wash with water, and apply in a place sheltered from the wind. If pus or exudate has subsided and the wound has filled with healthy tissue, there is no need to change the dressing; simply apply the original ointment over the scabbed area. If the affected area itches, apply fresh ginger juice directly to the itchy spot or mix it into the ointment. For leg sores, wash the area with a decoction of ginger and scallions before applying the ointment.
