Guolie (Arsenic Trioxide): Pungent, neutral in nature, non-toxic. Functions: dispel dampness, kill parasites, invigorate blood, resolve toxicity, transform phlegm, and relieve depression.

Yincui (Mercuric Oxide): Pungent, neutral in nature, non-toxic. When combined in prescriptions, it treats all kinds of bizarre and strange sores. Internal administration functions to astringe wounds and generate flesh.
Shiqing (Realgar/Orpiment mixture containing Arsenic): Extremely hot in nature. Due to its arsenic content, it can resolve the toxicity of Hydrargyrum (Mercury) and Calomel. It is good at treating all types of wind-dampness, causing pain and swelling in tendons and bones; it can also resolve the toxicity of various cold-natured medicines, as well as conditions where sores fail to close, alternating chills and fever, etc. Furthermore, it can guide Hydrargyrum and Calomel to circulate through the meridians, thereby resolving systemic phlegm-qi. It is one of the hottest among all medicines. It must be used but should not be overused.
Yang Pengxian’s Empirical Emergency Prescription: Qiankun Duoming Dan (Heaven and Earth Life-Taking Pill):
Raw Baixinshi (White Orpiment/Arsenolite) (1 liang, ground into powder) Raw Liuhuang (Sulfur) (1 liang, ground into powder) Baila (Beeswax) (1 liang)
These three ingredients have strict standard proportions that cannot be omitted. Melt the wax, then immediately add the two powders and mix evenly. Remove from heat and form into pills. Each pill weighs 4 fen for reserve use.
This medicine treats all cold conditions in men and women, including dietary cold, yin-cold syndrome, leukorrhea in women, kidney-cold in men, white dysentery, diarrhea, and all other lower-jiao cold syndromes. For severe yin-cold cases in men and women where the condition is critical, administer this medicine quickly. After twenty minutes, revival is invariably immediate. Dosage: one pill per adult dose, half a pill for children, taken with boiled water.
Yansu (Smoked Sulfur): Its nature is mobile and penetrating, easily entering the skin and muscles. It is an essential herb for expelling wind-pathogens and treating various tinea infections. However, it has high toxicity; therefore, it may only be used externally and not internally.

A few pills taken will cure severe ailments.
