Boil in two he (approx. 200 ml) of water until reduced to one he (approx. 100 ml). Dip a finger wrapped with cotton into the juice and apply it inside the infant's mouth, approximately the volume of a clam shell, to induce vomiting of foul fluid from the chest. Wait until the infant is hungry or thirsty before feeding again. If vomiting does not occur after two doses, administer the entire one he; this ensures the infant will be healthy and intelligent.
Another method: At birth, take one pig gallbladder, boil in seven sheng (approx. 1400 ml) of water until reduced to four sheng (approx. 800 ml), clarify the liquid, and use it to bathe the infant, ensuring they will never suffer from sores or scabies throughout their life.
