My clan's niece suffered from a large mass in the abdomen, like a cup, causing unbearable pain upon onset. At that time, she held a noble status, and skilled physicians in the capital were aware of her case. They frequently administered their medicines but failed to cure her. Chen Yingzhi said: "This is a blood mass." Administered three pills of Heishen Wan. The cup-shaped qi/mass completely dissipated, and it never recurred in her lifetime.
