Processing

Grind each ingredient separately into a fine powder. Mix with 2 cups each of bamboo sap or similar juice, and 1 cup each of rice wine and ginger juice. Simmer over a water bath until thickened, then form into pills the size of mustard seeds.

Benefits

For regurgitation and dysphagia.

Instructions for Use

Take 3 qian per dose; lie on your back without a pillow, and swallow the saliva. Once the passage is unblocked, discontinue further doses.

Note

After taking these pills, if the medicine does not cause regurgitation, do not immediately consume congee, rice, or other foods. Each day, prepare a decoction with 5 qian of ginseng and 2 qian of aged tangerine peel, and sip it slowly to support stomach qi;Once the stomach qi has been supported and you feel somewhat better, gradually increase the dose of ginseng. Only after ten days to half a month may you tentatively try a light rice drink or thin porridge. If the stomach is not yet stable, do not immediately consume large amounts of grains; it is common to see patients who eat porridge or rice too soon, leading to irreparable consequences.
