Processing
Pound until pulpy, then squeeze the juice through a new cloth; filter again through gauze or silk to remove all residue. Transfer the liquid to a pot with a lid and simmer gently over the sun. Separately, squeeze the juice from 1 jin of fresh ginger and prepare 1 jin of white honey; combine these and add to the simmering mixture. Stir continuously with a willow wood spatula until the ginger and honey are thoroughly blended. Continue simmering under the sun until the mixture reaches the consistency of thin syrup; the medicine is then complete.
Instructions for Use
Take 1 spoonful per dose, mixed with warm wine in the morning and again after noon. To make pills, simmer the mixture again at midday until it reaches a consistency suitable for shaping into pills the size of a Paulownia seed. Following the same preparation method, take 30 pills with wine. It is best to prepare a large batch in advance, as the effects are very rapid.
