Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder, mix well, and grind again. Combine with refined honey to form pills the size of soapberry seeds. Each time, use one pill, place it in a clean cup, and soak it in boiling water. Wash the eyes in a windless area, then close the eyes for a short while. After two to three hours, reheat the medicinal liquid and wash the eyes again as before. Each dose of medicine can be used to wash the eyes three to five times.

bubble_chart Efficacy

Clearing heat and dispersing swelling, improving vision, and removing nebula.

bubble_chart Indications

In the eyes, there is a nebula membrane, pterygium, dimness with excessive tearing, and unclear vision; or wind qi attacks, causing foxtail millet-like growths on the eyelids; or redness and ulceration extending to the orbital area, photophobia, and difficulty in opening the eyes due to dryness and discomfort.

bubble_chart Formula Principles

This prescription treats nebula or pterygium in the eyes, both caused by heat toxins attacking upwards. In the formula, Coptis Rhizome, with its bitter taste and cold nature, primarily removes heat and improves vision. Cinnabar and borax assist by removing toxins, eliminating nebula, and relieving itching. Musk unblocks the nose, while frankincense, Red Peony Root, and Chinese Angelica harmonize the blood and resolve stasis. Realgar serves to remove toxins and disperse swelling. The combination of these herbs disperses heat, reduces swelling, eliminates nebula, and brightens the eyes.

This product should not be washed in copper or iron containers; it is contraindicated for those with severe red and swollen eyes.
