Da Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus, one fruit, ground into powder) is mixed evenly with Jidan Qing (Egg White, from one egg, yolk removed). Apply this mixture around the circumference of the infant's abdomen. Additionally, Ming Xionghuang (Realgar, 5 qian), Sharen (Amomi Fructus Rotundus, 6 fen), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus, 5 fruits, stir-fried), and Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum, 5 li) are all ground into a fine powder. This powder is mixed with Jidan Qing (Egg White) and applied to the area surrounding the umbilicus, covering an area the size of a bowl opening.

Da Hong Furong Hua (Hibisci Mutabilis Flos, one flower) is applied with its center tightly aligned against the infant's umbilicus. Then, a thin pancake made from one egg is placed on the flower stalk and rotated once. Furthermore, Hujiao (Piperis Nigri Fructus, 7 grains), Sheng Zhizi (Raw Gardeniae Fructus, 7 fruits), Congbai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus, 7 roots), and Feimian (Fine Wheat Flour, a pinch) are ground together into a powder and pounded to mix evenly. Egg white is added to adjust the consistency, and the mixture is spread on blue cloth and applied to the infant's heart pit (epigastrium). Remove after one day and night; if the skin turns dark green or black, it indicates recovery. If ineffective, apply another dose. After recovery, tonifying spleen medications should be administered.

Baijing Qiuyin (Earthworm, cut into two segments; those jumping urgently treat acute convulsion [Ji Jing Feng], while those jumping slowly treat chronic convulsion [Man Jing Feng]). Add Shexiang (Moschus, 1 fen), pound into a paste, and apply to the center of the umbilicus. Cover externally with a plaster. Alternatively, use Baishi Maoji (White-silk-feathered Chicken, specifically Wu Gu Lü Er / Black-bone Green-ear chicken, also known as Rongmao Ji or Bai Fenghuang, commonly produced in Taihe County, Jiangxi Province).

Additionally, take Furong Nenye (Young Leaves of Hibiscus Mutabilis, about 5-6 leaves); use an odd number for males and an even number for females (or vice versa depending on the version). Pound into a paste, mix with egg, cook until done to form a cake, and apply to the umbilicus.
