Benefits

For women with stagnant blood and prolonged qi stagnation, presenting with cold pain in the legs, navel, and abdomen; alternating chills and fever; blood clots; blood stasis; abdominal masses; masses and tumors; weakness in the limbs; and a gradual loss of appetite—which, if left untreated, may eventually develop into consumptive disease with phlegm and cough.

Instructions for Use

Take 10 to 15 pills per dose, boiled in red or yellow wine before meals. Within three to two hours, a mild pain will be felt below the navel and in the abdomen; the medicine is working when the passage of urine and stool expels thick, dried, and dark blood—this indicates effectiveness. If no sensation is felt, increase the dose to 20 pills; effectiveness is typically achieved after 3–5 doses. To dissolve internal masses, take only 3–5 pills daily; adjust the dosage as appropriate based on the patient’s age, condition, and severity of the illness.
