Supreme Purple Mist Pill,Headache due to qi deficiency.

Formulas Name : Supreme Purple Mist Pill

Chinese Name : 太上紫霞丹

Drug Formulation

Sulfur (finely ground) 4 liang, cinnabar (sifted to remove fine particles) 4 liang, gallnut (crushed) 1 liang.

Source

Quoted from the Fuzhou Stone Physician’s Prescriptions in Volume 1 of *Bai Yi*.

Processing

Place all ingredients in an earthenware pot, boil in water for one hour, then let cool. First, remove the gallnuts and discard them; then rinse out the cinnabar. Take the sulfur, place it on a sheet of rice paper, and let it dry by absorbing moisture from the ash. Roll it into a ball, wrap it in a lotus leaf, place it on the ground, and calcine over a high flame. When the medicine turns red, immediately remove it from the fire. Let it sit overnight, then grind it to a very fine powder. Mix with rice paste to form pills the size of soapberry seeds, and air-dry in the shade.

Benefits

Headache due to qi deficiency.

Instructions for Use
