Green Lotus Paste,Blood deficiency causes the eyebrows, hair, and beard to fail to grow.

Formulas Name : Green Lotus Paste

Chinese Name : 青莲膏

Drug Formulation

3 sheng of lotus seed grass juice, 1 sheng of raw lettuce vine oil, 1 sheng of cow’s milk, and 2 liang of licorice (finely chopped).

Source

*Shenghui*, Volume 41.

Processing

Combine the above ingredients and simmer them in a cauldron over low heat. As soon as small bubbles begin to form on the surface, stir continuously without stopping until all the foam has disappeared and the mixture is fully cooked. Clarify the liquid, strain out the residue, and store in a non-porous container.

Benefits

Blood deficiency causes the eyebrows, hair, and beard to fail to grow.

Instructions for Use

Each time, before going to bed at night, lie on your back with a low pillow. Apply 3–5 drops, each the size of a small bean, into each nostril, repeating 6–7 times. Remain lying down for a long time before getting up. If saliva forms, spit it out—do not swallow it—and immediately sip a small amount of warm water. Continue this treatment for half a year, and white hair will turn black, while hair that has fallen out will regrow.

Note

Avoid raw garlic, radishes, and spicy foods.
