Roast all ingredients over low heat until charred, then grind into a fine powder.Wrap the flower spiders with waxed thread, place them in a copper ladle, then grind 60g of alum into a fine powder and pile it on top of the spiders. Cover with a porcelain bowl, place over a fire, and slowly calcine until the mixture melts into a lump and dries slightly. 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.

Benefits

Diphtheria, sore and swollen throat.

Instructions for Use

The longer it has been aged, the better; it should not be kept for more than a hundred years. Blow the powder onto the affected area of the throat. Combined with an oral formula, the therapeutic effect is even better.
