Processing
First, mix the salt and pu xiao with the plums until evenly distributed; let stand for one day and one night until thoroughly soaked. Then, finely grind all the herbs, mix them with the plum mixture, and spread the mixture out to dry in the sun. Soak it again, repeating the process until the mixture is dry to the touch. The best quality is achieved when a white frost-like coating forms after sun-drying; store in a tightly sealed container.
Benefits
Sore throat.
Instructions for Use
Whenever suffering from a swollen and sore throat, wrap one plum in silk cotton and hold it in the mouth. When sour liquid is released, swallow it; phlegm will immediately begin to flow out. Wait until the phlegm is completely cleared and only clear saliva remains in the mouth, then remove the plum, and the condition will be cured.
