Source

Processing

Place the above four ingredients in order inside a dry ironing board, cover with paper, and roast over low heat for a long time. Stop when yellow buds begin to form on the surface of the herbs. Pour into a mortar, hold your breath, and grind finely 500–700 times. Form into pills using steamed buns, each the size of a soapberry.

Benefits

Cold-induced cold extremities.

Instructions for Use

If a patient with typhoid fever presents with a faint and fine pulse, cold and numb limbs, or has previously experienced diarrhea, boil mugwort into a decoction of approximately one zhan. First, drink half of the hot mugwort decoction, then chew one pill thoroughly and swallow it with the remaining decoction. Sweating will occur shortly thereafter, and the patient will recover; for severe cases, two pills will certainly cure the condition.
