Instructions for Use
When needed, cut a square piece about one square inch in size, dissolve it in warm water in a bowl, and use two reed tubes to blow the solution into both nostrils. After a while, the patient will vomit phlegm and saliva and regain consciousness. If the solution is blown in too forcefully or is too hot, causing a nosebleed, stop immediately and drink 1–2 sips of lightly salted water to stop the bleeding.
