Narrative on Dansha Gao (Cinnabar Ointment) treating hundred diseases:
For cold damage (Shanghan), warm toxicity (Wendu), and febrile diseases, take one pill the size of a jujube pit with wine. For nasal congestion, insert half a pit-sized amount into the nose to condense qi and improve hearing/vision. For deafness, melt an amount the size of two jujube pits into liquid and instill into the ear; deafness of three to five years may be cured. For cold stagnation with abdominal fullness and hardness, or flying corpse evil toxins causing pain, take with warm wine. For cholera-like syndrome forming but not yet vomiting or diarrhea, take with plain water the size of a jujube pit. If diarrhea has already occurred with abdominal distress, take again. For wind-stroke of the eye with membrane, pain, or tearing, insert a millet-sized amount into the eye; the membrane will fall out and stop. If pain persists halfway, it will heal.
For chest, back, throat, and neck pain, massage the feet. Allow the scent of the ointment to reach the mouth. Dosage varies by individual; adjust to achieve bowel movement. Reduce dosage for elderly and children. If diarrhea occurs, drink hot tea after walking fifteen li. Prepare thin white porridge and let it cool beforehand.
