Processing
First, place the asphalt and Clematis in a pot and simmer until melted. Stir thoroughly with locust or willow twigs. Slowly drip the mixture into water; it is ready when it no longer sticks to your hands and can be pulled into threads as fine as gold. If the mixture is too hard, add a small amount of oil; if too soft, add more asphalt.Once the consistency is correct, add the powdered frankincense and myrrh. Remove the pot from the heat and place it on ashes; stir several hundred times with a willow twig. Filter the ointment through coarse cloth, then stretch it in a basin of water until it forms golden threads. Change the water frequently and soak for two days, then store in a small earthenware jar.
Benefits
For children suffering from malnutrition, chronic diarrhea, dysentery, or coughs who refuse to take medicine; as well as for treating injuries from falls or blows to the hands, feet, shoulders, and back, and for cold-damp beriberi causing unbearable pain.
Instructions for Use
For injuries such as falling from a horse or a cart, heat the ointment over a fire until it is very hot, then apply it to the injured area until it penetrates the flesh and bone—this is a sign that it is working. Bathe the affected area several times in hot water, and the accumulation of hot blood will dissipate. For children with malnutrition, apply the ointment to the affected area; for diarrhea and dysentery, apply it to the abdomen; for coughs, apply it to the lower back.
