Before taking this medicine, one must first take a purgative. After vomiting and diarrhea cease, select a Wang Xiang day (auspicious day), take one liang on an empty stomach in the morning, hold it in the mouth and swallow slowly; the potency is strong and digestible. Gradually increase the dose to two or three liang. The medication should be taken between Chen (7-9 AM) and Si (9-11 AM) hours. Once the medicinal effect has subsided, one may consume glutinous rice milk gruel. No other food or drink is allowed; if thirsty, only small amounts of boiled water are permitted.
