When ready to use, take one small red date, cut off the stem and remove the pit (taking care not to damage the skin), and fill it with a soybean-sized amount of the medicine. Insert the end of the date (where the stem was removed) into the nostril, then close your mouth and eyes to avoid drafts. After a short while, you will sneeze, and the throat will gradually feel clearer. If pus is discharged, rinse with a decoction of honeysuckle and licorice. For severe cases, replace the date with another one.When treating throat conditions, use the left side for men and the right side for women. If the left side is blocked, insert the remedy into the left nostril; if the right side is blocked, insert it into the right nostril; for both sides, alternate the nostrils. The remedy must be left in place for exactly one week before removal; otherwise, it may cause complications. Exercise caution.

Note

Avoid fresh hair, fish, meat, leafy greens, and spicy foods. It is essential to avoid these for 7 days after recovery. Pregnant women with yin deficiency should not use this remedy.
