Processing
In April, collect several sheng of tadpoles from the fields, drain off the water, place them in an earthenware jar, add 3–4 fen of borneol, seal the jar tightly, then coat the opening with mud to prevent air from escaping. 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.
Benefits

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.
