bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage

For the 19 ingredients mentioned above, except for the starch, soak the herbs in 2.5 kilograms of pure sesame oil. The soaking duration varies with the seasons: five days in spring, three days in summer, seven days in autumn, and ten days in winter. Once the required number of days has passed, transfer the mixture into a clean large pot and simmer over low heat until the herbs are thoroughly cooked and float to the surface. Turn off the heat and let it sit for a while, then filter out the dregs using a cloth bag. Weigh the oil, and for every 500 grams of oil, add 250 grams of starch. Stir continuously with peach or willow branches until the mixture becomes as black as lacquer and as shiny as a mirror. Test by dropping a small amount into water; it should form a pearl-like droplet. Spread the mixture thinly on paper and apply it to the affected area when needed.
