Instructions for Use
Refine the above ingredients until they form a paste, add a small amount of vegetable oil, heat gently while stirring until well blended, and shape into a poultice according to the size of the sore. Place it on the sore and secure it with a silk strip. Remove it after one week, scrub the area thoroughly with boiling water, flip the poultice over, and reapply it. Remove it after another week, wash the area again, and reapply.A single medicated poultice should be applied continuously until the sore heals; there is no need to replace it. Once the sore has healed, wash the poultice clean and store it properly. Should you encounter a similar sore, apply it to another person, following the same procedure of washing and reapplying every week. If this poultice has been used to treat three people, the sore will heal immediately upon application; if it has been used to treat ten people, the healing will be even faster—it is truly extraordinary and marvelous.
