Effective for all throat ailments.
Instructions for Use
When ready to use, take one red date and remove the pit. Place a dose of the mixture the size of a soybean into the date, then insert it into the nose—the left nostril for men and the right for women. Have the patient close their mouth and eyes and avoid drafts for a short while; this will induce a sneeze, immediately relieving the throat. If yellow fluid drips from the throat, rinse the mouth with a decoction of honeysuckle and licorice. For severe cases, repeat the process with another dose; this formula is invariably effective.
Note
Contraindicated for those with yin deficiency.
