Lei Gong said: Juniu (Jujube Beetle/Cetonia aurata), upon collection, slice it into two halves using a copper knife, remove the wings, place it in a paper bag, hang it eastward in the residence, and use it after drying.
Lei Gong said: When using Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), select those harvested in winter that are white, greasy in texture, and possess white spiral patterns. Do not expose it to fire, as it will become useless immediately.
For use, scrape it into powder with a copper knife, grind finely, sieve it through heavy silk gauze, and grind it over a thousand times before use.
This substance is not used in prescriptions for women.
Lei Gong said: When using Wudou (Black Soybean), it must be boiled for half a day with Shengmaoxiang (Imperatae Rhizoma) and Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus), then drained, pounded in a stone mortar, sieved through a horsehair sieve, and then used.

Boil whole Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) and Wudou (Black Soybean) together with Taoren (Persicae Semen) in a cauldron for one shichen (two hours), then drain. Break them into two pieces by hand; if the center is golden yellow, they are ready for use.
