Treats bone-steaming chuan shi (transmitting corpse) and ghost qi.
Take Gaojia (Gleditsia sinensis fruit), the white bark of trees, and thorns, each five pieces. Burn them to ash, leach with water to obtain juice. Repeat leaching on the ash three to five times. Then decoct to concentrate into a frost-like substance, take two liang for administration.
