Processing

Soak the above herbs in 2 jin of sesame oil until thoroughly saturated. Simmer over a fire of mulberry and firewood until the mixture is reduced to a dry residue, then strain out the dregs. Transfer the mixture to a clean pot and simmer over low heat until a drop of the liquid forms a bead when held up. At this point, add exactly 12 liang of fly cinnabar, ensuring the mixture is neither too hard nor too soft. Just as it begins to set, add 5 qian of defatted frankincense and stir until completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into a basin of water and knead vigorously to remove the heat toxicity. Spread the mixture thinly and apply as a poultice.
