Processing
Finely grind each of the above ingredients into a powder, weigh out the required amounts, and mix them evenly. Once the deer-based ointment is prepared, combine the mixture with it to form pills the size of a Paulownia seed, then dry them in an oven. Make 50 small pouches from raw yellow silk, each holding approximately 1 jin, and hang them in a well-ventilated area. Use one pouch at a time, taking another as the first is exhausted. During the humid summer months, it is best to dry the pills over a fire 1–2 times.
