Source

Quoted from *Formulas of the Ruizhu Hall* in Volume 119 of *Collected Medical Formulas*.

Processing

Soak the above ingredients in a large bowl of sour grass juice: 3–4 days in spring and autumn, 7 days in winter, and 1–2 days in summer. Squeeze out the clear liquid to thoroughly saturate the soap pods. Transfer the liquid to a silver vessel or earthenware pot and simmer over low to moderate heat. Stir with fresh willow twigs or locust branches until it becomes a paste-like ointment. Remove from heat, spread onto paper interleaved with another sheet of paper, air-dry in the shade, and store.

Benefits

Effective for chronic and acute cases of wind-induced epilepsy and cardiac disorders, mania and stroke, foaming at the mouth with loss of consciousness, locked jaw, and tetanus convulsions.

Instructions for Use

When treating a patient, take a piece the size of a palm, dissolve it in warm pulp water in a cup, and pour the solution into a small bamboo tube. Help the patient sit upright with their head slightly raised, then blow the medicine into both nostrils. After a while, help them stand up; the appearance of saliva is a sign that the treatment has taken effect. To stop the salivation, have the patient drink 1–2 sips of warm salt water, which will immediately stop it.

Note

Avoid chicken, fish, hard-to-chew foods, and wet noodles.
