bubble_chart Composition Deer antler (using fresh elk antlers, discard the ones that are not freshly harvested, do not use red deer antlers, remove the brain tip bone 6.6 cm, split and clean) 5,000 gm.

bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage
Deer antler and turtle shell, the two ingredients, are placed in a bag and soaked in running water for three days. Use two lead jars (if lead jars are unavailable, a large piece of lead can be placed at the bottom instead). Place the antler and shell into the jars, submerged in water to a height of 10-15 cm. Seal the jars with 90 grams of yellow wax and place them in a large pot. Cook over mulberry wood fire for seven days and nights. During cooking, add hot water to the jars once a day, ensuring it does not boil. Add water to the pot five times a day. Once the antler becomes soft, remove it, wash and filter to remove dregs (the residue is deer antler frost and turtle shell frost), and set aside the clear liquid. Ginseng and goji berries are cooked in a copper pot with 9 sheng of water until the liquid level drops below the surface of the herbs. Strain the clear liquid through a new cloth. Mash the residue in a stone mortar with a wooden pestle into a fine powder, add 3.5 sheng of water, and cook again as before. Repeat the straining, mashing, and cooking process three times until the residue is flavorless. Combine the previous deer antler and turtle shell liquid with the ginseng and goji berry liquid in a pot, and simmer over low heat until a drop of the liquid forms a pearl-like shape without dispersing, indicating the formation of glue. Starting from the 10th day, expose the mixture to sunlight during the day and dew at night until the 17th day, completing seven days and nights to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. If there are rainy days during the month, make up for the missed days in the following month. Dry in a cool, shaded place. Initially, take 4.5 grams per dose, increasing by 1.5 grams every ten days, up to a maximum of 9 grams. Take before meals, dissolved in wine.
