bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage

First, grind amber, cloves, cassia bark, cinnabar, and costus root into powder. Then, finely file the remaining herbs and soak them in oil overnight. Slowly simmer over low heat until the angelica turns yellowish-brown, then strain. Next, add pine resin powder and filter out the dregs. Clarify the oil and return it to the pot. Slowly simmer over low heat, adding 500 grams of yellow lead while continuously stirring with a willow spatula until the mixture turns black. Test by dropping it into water—if it forms beads that do not disperse, the consistency is correct. Add the powdered amber mixture and stir until well combined. Store in a porcelain container. When needed, spread evenly on paper over heat and apply to the affected area according to size.

bubble_chart Indications

Scrofula of the neck, which also develops under the armpit, initially resembles a plum, with hard and firm swelling. Gradually, it becomes like a string of beads, neither dissolving nor ulcerating. Sometimes it perforates and discharges pus, with continuous oozing of tissue fluid, making it difficult to heal over a long period, eventually leading to the formation of a fistula.
