Take one to two jin of fresh Scallion Bulb (Cong Bai, 葱白), remove leaves and roots, retaining the middle section of about four cun. Tie with rope, divide into two bundles, steam in a pot until hot, ensuring no water contact. Remove and apply to the patient's umbilicus. Place the second bundle in the pot to heat; replace the bundle on the abdomen when it cools. Repeat several times. If the patient's nasal breath carries a slight scent of scallion, they will awaken.
