Take 1 pill per dose. First crush it into powder, then soak it in 1 zhan of wine from morning until evening. After a meal and before bedtime, stir well and consume. A clear mind and absence of drowsiness indicate the medicine’s efficacy; repeat the dose after a 5-day interval.

Note

This formula is suitable for stroke patients who do not sweat. However, if taken by those with a weak constitution who experience spontaneous sweating, it will further deplete body fluids. For those with severe wind symptoms, they should rest in a warm, well-sealed room to induce sweating. Those with spontaneous sweating should not take this formula.
