Processing
Pound the plant to extract its natural juice into a copper pot; simmer over low heat until it becomes a paste. Add raw silk thread to the paste and continue simmering for a long time until the paste thickens sufficiently. Allow the thread to air-dry in the shade; reserve the paste for future use.

Instructions for Use
For external hemorrhoids with a visible head, tie it off with the medicated thread. Wait until the hemorrhoid turns charred black and falls off; then wrap pig bristles in cotton, dip them in the medicine, and insert them into the opening—the condition will never recur.
