Over the course of 12 shichen (day and night), divide the dose into three portions:one dose per period. After the medicinal properties have settled, wait one hour, then take one bowl of the warm decoction. Wait another hour, then consume several pieces of white malt syrup. Take three doses daily, regardless of day or night, with both the decoction and malt syrup administered nine times in total. The preparation of food and decoction should follow the same principles as described earlier for cooking medicinal foods.
