Transfer to the ground to cool before use.If flower spiders are unavailable, Zi Bi Qian may be used instead. Grind each of the above ingredients separately into a fine powder; then weigh out the exact amount of each ingredient, mix them anew, grind them evenly, sift the mixture, and store in a tightly sealed bottle.
