Benefits
For brain abscesses and hidden symptoms of back abscesses: in the early stages when there is no prominent swelling, no intense heat, and no pain upon moxibustion.
Instructions for Use
Insert a lanceolate needle into the affected area until pain is felt; stop at that point. Then insert a toad venom strip into the hole until it reaches the bottom, applying two strips daily and covering with ointment.After 3 days, add more medication; the root will become swollen and painful. Externally, use the “Divine Lamp” illumination method to transform yin into yang. Continue inserting the medication and applying the light for 7 days; the ulcer will crack open and discharge pus. By the 13th day, the root will fall out on its own. If the root is deep-seated and firmly anchored and cannot be removed, extract it with a lancet and apply Yu Hong Ointment internally. What will not fall out will fall out on its own; what will not heal will heal on its own.
