Refer to the formula for elderly women's metrorrhagia later in the text. Take one stalk of Dengxincao (Junci Medulla), dip it in sesame oil, light it, and burn the Dazhun acupoint (Great Supreme) once. The bleeding will stop immediately. The acupoint is located in the middle of the lateral nail seam of the great toe, neither too high nor too low. If bleeding resumes after stopping, burn the same spot again. If a blister forms at the original site, pierce it and then burn it; this method never fails. This is the most miraculous first prescription for treating metrorrhagia. After hemostasis, invite a renowned physician to prescribe medication for regulation to prevent recurrence.
