bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage

Pour 360 ml of genuine sesame oil into a pot and bring it to a boil. Add castor seeds and almonds, and boil until a drop of water forms a pearl-like consistency. Filter through a coarse cloth to remove dregs. Return the oil to a clean pot and bring it to a boil over moderate or vigorous heat. Gradually add pine resin powder, stirring evenly with peach or locust branches. Pour the mixture into a porcelain basin and allow it to nearly solidify. Then, immerse it in water and knead it by hand to remove any toxic heat. Store in a porcelain jar or steel container for several months. When needed, melt it with hot water and apply it to the affected area.
