Instructions for Use
When treating an injured person, immediately administer a dose equivalent to 9 fen, mixed with aged wine free of ash. The potency of this medicine is very strong; under no circumstances should the dose exceed 9 fen. For open wounds, apply the mixture directly to the affected area; if the wound is closed but only bruising is visible, mix the powder with rice wine and apply it topically.After taking the medicine, if you feel a sensation of agitation in the chest or numbness throughout the body, this indicates the medicine is taking effect; do not be alarmed. If the injury is severe and no reaction is observed after taking the medicine, wait one and a half hours, then take another 9-fen dose mixed with aged wine without ash. By applying and taking this remedy in this manner, no matter how severe the injury, it can bring the dying back to life; this is truly the number one formula for treating traumatic injuries.
Note
Contraindicated for pregnant women.
