Instructions for Use
Apply the powder from the bottom of the bowl to the red, swollen area, leaving a small space at the top. Then place a piece of cotton paper over the top, piercing a hole in the paper to allow the toxin-neutralizing vapors to escape. Once the paper dries, moisten the outer surface of the paper with the medicinal liquid from the bowl, ensuring it remains damp. For mild cases, apply twice daily; for severe cases, apply 3–4 times a day and night.
