Instructions for Use

First, take one slice of dried meat, roast it until cooked, and place it under the patient’s mattress at the site of the pain without letting them know. If the pain is severe at night and difficult to treat, but eases later, it is easier to treat. The next day, after the patient has risen, examine the meat; it will surely have changed color. If the meat is red, take 3 qian bi of the powder per dose; if it is dark blue, take 4 qian bi per dose, mixed with warm wine or rice water.After taking the medicine on an empty stomach, have the patient drink some wine until slightly intoxicated; once sweating begins, the condition will be cured.
