Benefits

In patients recovering from a serious illness or the elderly, where kidney yin is internally blocked and qi is obstructed, resulting in deafness in both ears—where even the sound of thunder or loud shouting cannot be heard, yet there is no pain in the ears.

Instructions for Use

Decoct in water and take orally. After four consecutive doses, a ringing sound will inevitably occur in the ears—this is a sign that the deafness is about to be resolved. Continue taking the decoction according to the original formula for 10 more doses. For external use, grind the following ingredients into a very fine powder and form into pills: 1 fen of dragon bone, the bile of one male mouse, 1 li of musk, and 3 li of borneol. Divide the mixture into three pills, wrap each in cotton, and insert them into the ears; do not remove them. Hearing will be restored within one day and night.After the ear is unblocked, continue taking the previous decoction. One month later, take a large dose of Liuwei Pills as a follow-up treatment; otherwise, hearing will not be sustained for long.
