Processing
Crush the above herbs as appropriate. For every 48 liang of herbs, use 240 liang of sesame oil to deep-fry until charred; remove the residue and filter. Refine the oil until a drop forms a bead. Add 100 liang of realgar and stir evenly to form a paste. Remove the paste and soak it in cold water to neutralize the fire toxicity, then reheat to melt it. Prepare a separate mixture of fine ingredients: for every 400 liang of ointment oil, add 1 qian 5 fen of musk, 4 qian of suhe oil, 4 qian 5 fen of camphor,frankincense, myrrh, dragon’s blood, and cloves—each 3 liang 2 qian 5 fen. Grind all ingredients into a fine powder, mix thoroughly, and spread onto the plaster. Each large plaster contains 6 qian of oil, and each medium-sized plaster contains 4 qian of oil; finish with a glossy coating.
