Processing
Grind the ingredients into a fine powder. Take one male pig’s stomach, wash it with salt and vinegar to remove any foul odor, boil until nearly cooked, drain thoroughly, and fill it with the medicine. Place it in a steamer, lining the top and bottom with a thick layer of Chinese chives. Steam over low heat from Chen to You; test with a silver hairpin—it is ready when the mixture turns yellow. While still hot, shape into pills the size of a Paulownia seed.
Benefits
Effective for abdominal masses, diarrhea with loose stools, intestinal slippage, and rectal bleeding.
Instructions for Use
Take 70 pills per dose. For treating abdominal masses, take on an empty stomach with ginger tea; the condition will resolve after 1–2 bowel movements, followed by recovery with congee. For treating diarrhea and dysentery, take after meals with tea; symptoms will cease immediately. For intestinal slippage and intestinal wind with bleeding, take regularly.
