Goiter.
Instructions for Use
Use a needle to prick a small hole in the goiter. Then, while it is still bleeding, apply the medicine to the site; this will cause adhesion. Use approximately 1 fen of the mixture, mixed with human breast milk, and apply a dab the size of a water caltrop. Apply three times a day. On the second day, fluid will inevitably ooze out; do not apply the medicine again while the fluid is oozing, as doing so will cause excessive pain and make it more difficult for the wound to close.After 3 days, when the discharge has ceased and the skin has loosened like a pouch, take the following decoction: 3 qian of ginseng, 5 qian of Poria, 1 liang of coix seed, 2 qian of Alisma, 1 qian of Polyporus, 1 liang of Astragalus, 5 qian of white peony root, 1 qian of raw licorice, 1 qian of tangerine peel, and 3 qian of Chinese yam. Decoct in water and take orally. The goiter will completely disappear after 10 doses.
Note
Avoid sexual intercourse for half a year. If sexual intercourse occurs during this period, the wound will rupture and fail to heal, resulting in a lifelong condition of chronic discharge.
