Instructions for Use

Using one and a half zhong of water, first bring the Ephedra to a rolling boil and skim off the white foam; then simmer until the liquid is reduced to eight fen. Drink while hot. Cover the child with a blanket and have them lie down; treatment is complete once sweating occurs and the lower back pain subsides. If symptoms persist, administer another dose. This prevents smallpox from erupting along the Kidney Meridian.
