Grind the above ingredients finely. Use 500 ml of sesame oil to first fry the ephedra and almonds. Once the ephedra has completely dissolved, filter out the dregs using cotton. Pour the mixture into a pot and fry the previous herbs until they turn golden brown. Filter out the dregs again, then add yellow lead. Stir continuously with a willow wood spatula until the mixture thickens into a paste. Pour the paste into a porcelain basin. Apply it onto a cloth and use it as a patch.
