For post-syciamum sores characterized by a splitting headache, stiffness of tendons and bones, and unbearable pain; or for the appearance of cold phlegm-filled blisters with oozing pus and fluid; this formula also treats toxic stagnation in the lower burner, all types of damp phlegm, and sores that have failed to heal for a long time.

Instructions for Use

Take 2 pills at a time, washed down with cold water or tea, three times daily. When taking this medicine, if swelling occurs around the mouth or eyes, it indicates the medicine is taking effect; pause for one day before resuming. For the black beans, use them raw: soak in cold water until soft, remove the skins, and crush them. Add red date pulp and mix into pills until the mixture holds together; there is no need to make too many. Adding 2–3 fen of Western Huang is even more effective.For all stubborn sores caused by accumulated toxins, first take the Five Treasures Pill or Eight Treasures Pill; this medicine must be used to complete the treatment, ensuring the condition never recurs.

Note

Avoid hot soups and broths; instead, eat hearty, meaty dishes to prevent digestive discomfort.
