Processing
Grind the above ingredients into an extremely fine powder; soak in hot water overnight; then form into pills using steamed buns, each the size of a Paulownia seed.
Benefits
Weakness of the spleen and stomach.
Instructions for Use
Take 50 pills per dose; they may be taken with hot water at any time of day. When soaking the steamed buns, wait until the hot water has been fully absorbed by the buns, then let them cool slightly. Wrap them in a clean cloth to squeeze out the excess water before using them for the medicine. If the mixture is too difficult to shape into pills, add a small amount of flour paste to form the pills. It is also highly effective to add an additional 2 liang of clean, aged tangerine peel, which has been soaked in salt water and then dried in an oven.
