Stir uniformly into the alum solution until the alum dries up. Treats wind-stroke aphasia, lockjaw, dan e and shuang e (tonsillitis/throat swelling). Use 3 fen of powder blown into the affected area for cure of various diseases. For those with excessive phlegm obstruction, take 5 fen with Dengxincao decoction; phlegm in the throat will be vomited out, and phlegm in the diaphragm will be discharged.
Another prescription: Take 2 grains of Jiangziren (skin and membrane removed) and a piece of Baifan the size of a thumb. Grind into powder.
