Instructions for Use

For those over 30 years of age with strong vital energy, use 3 qian; for those with deficiency, use 3.5 qian. Take one pair of Keshan goat kidneys, split them open, and evenly distribute the medicine inside. Wrap the feet tightly with clean hemp cloth, then roast them over charcoal until cooked through, taking care not to let them burn. Before bedtime, chew the mixture thoroughly and swallow it with warm wine. Drink wine as desired; those who can drink one dou may drink five sheng. Elevate both feet on a raised surface. A single dose will cure the condition.
