Processing
Grind the ingredients into a fine powder, mix them thoroughly, and blend with equal parts fresh cool water and honey until the consistency is neither too thin nor too thick.
Benefits
For severe toxic conditions such as boils, abscesses, back sores, neck sores, and scalp sores, regardless of whether they have already ruptured or not.
Instructions for Use
If the ulcer has not yet ruptured, apply the mixture liberally over the swollen area, cover with cotton paper, and whenever it dries, moisten it with water; change the dressing twice daily, in the morning and evening. During the summer months or at noon, an additional change may be made. If the ulcer has already ruptured, apply this medicine to the surrounding swollen area. For the actual pus-filled opening, apply a thick layer of Shenyi Ointment to cover it completely—there is no need to leave an opening—and change the dressing three times a day.
