Instructions for Use

When ready to use, gauge the size of the mass, soften it with a hot water bath, and shape it into a single cake. First, rub a small amount of musk onto the skin to facilitate the penetration of the medicinal properties before applying the ointment. Cover the area with dog skin, then iron the ointment 3–5 times with a hot iron, and finally secure it with a silk bandage. Change the dressing every 3 days to eliminate the root cause of the disease.

Note

Avoid eating bitter greens, tofu, Chinese toon, bottle gourd, eggplant, chicken, fish, vinegar, and pork head meat.
