It is best to decoct with wine. For swellings on the chest, take before meals; for those on the back, take after meals; for those in the lower body, take on an empty stomach; for those in the upper body, take after meals. In all cases, treatment is complete when sweating occurs. If no sweating occurs, fumigate the inner sides of the feet, knees, and wrists with Wood Fragrance (Muxiang), then cover with a blanket until sweating occurs, at which point the condition will be cured.
