Drug Formulation

Source

From *Guangji Fang*, cited in Volume 15 of *Wai Tai*.

Processing

First, pound the rock salt; then grind the remaining four ingredients into a powder. Separately pound the castor beans and apricot kernels, then gradually mix them in. Wrap the mixture in waxed paper.

Benefits

For headaches accompanied by confusion, nasal congestion, dizziness, and blurred vision.

Instructions for Use

For patients, first perform moxibustion at the Baihui acupoint (GV20) three times. Scrape away any dark hair to clean the area. Prepare a silk patch slightly larger than the moxibustion site, apply the ointment to it, and affix it to the skin. Replace the patch every 2–3 days. The lesion will subsequently ulcerate and rupture, discharging pus and blood; if the discharge resembles that from a rotten persimmon stem when the silk patch is removed, the treatment is effective.
