Instructions for Use
When ready to use, mix one pill—about the size of a small soybean—with raw honey and swallow it with freshly drawn well water. Repeat this three times, and the sore will heal. Additionally, adjust the dosage based on the size and severity of the sore: if the sore has been present for a long time and is severe, the pill should be no larger than a soybean; if the sore is just beginning to develop, a pill the size of a small bean is sufficient;if the condition has become acute and the patient is unable to open their mouth, taking the medicine will ensure recovery without fail; in such cases, use one large pill, divided into 2–5 small pills, and administer them by pouring them into the mouth. This medicine must be prepared and taken immediately; do not prepare the pills in advance, as they will lose their efficacy if left for too long.
