Instructions for Use

Take one pair of pig’s trotters with seven holes, boil them to make broth, skim off the surface fat, then simmer the herbs in the broth until reduced to one large bowl. Drink the decoction. Cover your face and sleep; milk will appear immediately. If this is ineffective, take another dose; the blockage will be completely resolved. For new mothers with no milk, omit the pig’s trotters and simply simmer the herbs in a mixture of equal parts water and wine.
