Chinese Name : 彭祖麋角丸
Drug Formulation
One pair of elk antlers (roasted until yellow), 2 liang of areca nut (the first two ingredients should be ground separately to obtain a fine powder), 2 liang of Akebia, 2 liang of Gentiana macrophylla, 2 liang of ginseng, 2 liang of dodder seeds (soaked in wine and ground separately), 2 liang of Cistanche (soaked in wine and rot removed), and 2 liang of licorice (crushed beforehand).

Processing
First, decoct the two ingredients—deer antlers and areca nut—together for one meal period until the liquid is reduced. When the decoction resembles thick porridge, remove from heat. Wait briefly for the heat to subside, then add the remaining six ingredients, stirring until well blended. Wait a short while longer until the mixture gradually thickens and becomes sticky enough to form pills the size of a Paulownia seed.
Instructions for Use
Take 30 pills per dose on an empty stomach with wine; increase the dose by 1 pill daily until reaching 50 pills, taking one dose in the morning and one in the evening. After one month of treatment, all abdominal ailments will be driven out; do not be alarmed if you experience mild diarrhea.
Note
Avoid sexual intercourse for 100 days.
