Grind the ingredients into a fine powder; melt a small amount of wax with a tiny bit of sesame oil, then mix in the powder and roll into pellets the size of a grain of rice.

Benefits

For fistulas with unceasing discharge of pus and pain deep within the bone.

Instructions for Use

Depending on the size and depth of the ulcer, insert the medicine into the ulcer cavity until it is full; as the medicine penetrates inward, new tissue will form from within. Remove one pellet every 1–2 days; as new tissue gradually forms, continue removing the pellets. Once all pellets are removed, the ulcer will naturally heal. If the ulcer is cold, painful, shallow, and wide, apply only a small amount as a dry poultice.
