Instructions for Use
Place all the above ingredients in a mortar and grind into a paste. Mix with hot wine, strain out the residue, and drink the liquid. Apply the residue as follows: if the condition is in the left hand, apply it to the left armpit; if in the right hand, apply it to the right armpit; also apply it under the ribs. If the condition is in the left foot, apply it to the left hip; if in the right foot, apply it to the right hip; if in the center of the body, apply it to the area between the heart and the navel. Secure the application with cloth. Wait until all red threads turn white—this indicates recovery.If the patient experiences tidal fever, use this same method. Have someone hold the patient firmly; do not let go, lest the toxic energy become disordered and the condition become untreatable. If the patient begins to tremble or falls, the condition will also be difficult to treat.
