Drug Formulation

Mulberry wood ash (burn the wood separately; collect the charcoal embers and place them in a large vat. Allow them to naturally decompose into white ash. Take 1 dou of this ash, line a sieve with cotton paper, and pour boiling water over it to extract the liquid. Store the liquid in a porcelain jar. Continue pouring until the liquid no longer tastes bitter, astringent, or salty. Transfer the liquid to a porcelain bowl and simmer it in a double boiler until it thickens to the consistency of thin paste) 1 dou,eggplant stalk ash (prepared by leaching as described above) 1 dou, mineral ash 1 dou (i.e., lime; wood-fired lime is preferable; leach the liquid as described above). Simmer and mix the three ingredients until well blended; this is called “Three Immortals Ointment.” It may also be used to treat milder cases of boils and abscesses. Additionally, prepare 1 liang of lye solution by simmering, then add it to the fine powder mixture to complete the full formula.For every 5 liang of “Three Immortals Ointment,” mix in: 3 qian 5 fen of toad venom dissolved in wine until uniform; 2 qian of plum-blossom borneol; 1 qian of genuine ox gallstone; and 2 qian of pearl—all three ingredients ground to a fine powder like flour. Separately, grind the following four ingredients to a fine powder like flour: 2 qian of transparent realgar, 3 qian of alum, 1 qian 5 fen of cinnabar, and 2 qian of white borax—only then is the mixture perfect;Authentic musk must be of the “Dangmenzi” grade—that is, the very finest quality—ground evenly to 1 qian; copper blue 1 qian 5 fen; realgar 2 fen 5 li; calcined alum 3 qian; mercury oxide 2 qian; frankincense 2 qian (crushed, soaked in human milk until soft, then ground evenly); and processed myrrh 1 qian 5 fen.

Processing

Grind each of the above ingredients into a fine powder, mix them evenly, then grind them together several thousand times. Add the prepared ointment and stir until perfectly homogeneous. Transfer the mixture to a porcelain jar—preferably one with a narrow mouth—seal the opening with black paper, and seal it with high-quality beeswax to ensure not a single wisp of vapor escapes.

Benefits

For boils, abscesses, carbuncles, back sores, and all kinds of unknown malignant swellings and toxins.

Instructions for Use

Whenever a toxic condition arises, apply a small amount to the affected area. If it dries, moisten it with a little rice vinegar mixed with honey. If black blood or toxic fluid suddenly oozes out, the swelling will immediately subside. Alternatively, mix with buckwheat flour. For styes, add 1 fen of iron rust yellow, grind it to a flour-like consistency, and mix it in. Apply generously to the affected area; within two nights, the root will rot and be expelled.Take one Zijing Ding internally; it is effective only if it has been stored in the Inner Treasury. For conditions such as abscesses or carbuncles, take Wax Alum Pills and other formulas designed to promote expulsion and detoxify separately.

Note

Avoid applying to healthy flesh.
