Bury the jar in soil where it is not exposed to sunlight for 64 days; when removed, the contents will have turned entirely into liquid.

Instructions for Use

For patients with unexplained swellings and toxins, dip a brush in this liquid and draw a large circle around the affected area, gradually making the circle smaller while leaving a small opening in the center; the toxin will then dissipate.
