bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage

On the fifth day of the fifth month, pick 100 semi-ripe large plums. First, mix the plums evenly with salt and another ingredient. After one day and night, when the water has soaked through, grind the various medicinal ingredients finely and mix them in. Then, take them out and dry them in the sun. Soak them again in the medicinal liquid until they are dry. Those that are dried and develop a white frosty coating are the best. Store them sealed tightly. Whenever there is throat swelling and pain, wrap one plum in cotton fabric and hold it in the mouth. Swallow the sour water that comes out, and phlegm will surge forth. Wait until the phlegm is cleared and there is clear water in the mouth, then remove the plum and the condition will be cured.
