Benefits

All types of abscesses and toxic sores, various painful wounds and injuries, necrotic tissue and swelling, or conditions caused by stagnation of wind, cold, and dampness—such as wandering pain and edema.

Instructions for Use

Regardless of the quantity available, use as much as possible to prepare a concentrated decoction. While still hot, use the steam to fumigate and wash the affected area. Then, dip a piece of cloth in the decoction and apply it to the area for an extended period, ensuring the medicinal vapors penetrate thoroughly, before applying other medications.Perform this 2–3 times daily as needed; more frequent applications are preferable. For treating ascites and swelling, use 20–30 jin of the herb each time to prepare 2–3 pots of concentrated decoction. Pour the decoction into a large basin, cover it with a mat or bamboo mat to shield it from the wind, and steam and wash the affected area for a long time, 1–2 times daily.
