bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage

Soak the above 8 ingredients in 1.5 shēng of sesame oil for five days in spring and autumn, three days in summer, and seven days in winter. Boil over mulberry wood fire until the herbs are withered. Filter the herb residue with silk, then return the oil to the pot. Boil until a drop of water does not disperse, then remove from heat. After a short while, for every 500 ml of oil, add 180 gm of yellow dan (first stir-fried thoroughly and ground very finely; for a softer paste, use only 90 gm). Add and stir continuously until fully mixed, then simmer over low heat until a drop forms a pearl. Test by forming a pearl with both hands; it should not stick to the hands. Remove from heat and place in a cool area until the heat dissipates completely. Spread on oiled paper and apply to the affected area.
