In the summer, gather the branches and leaves of Xishaicao, wash them, steam them nine times, but avoid excessive dryness. Grind them into powder, mix with honey, and shape them into small pills about the size of a wu zi (a type of fruit).
Take 20 to 30 pills on an empty stomach, swallow them with warm wine or rice soup. After taking the pills, it is necessary to eat 3 to 5 spoonfuls of rice to help the pills go down.
Take this remedy continuously for several months to see results. This formula is called "Xianwan".
