bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage

Steam the papaya until soft, then mash it into a paste. Grind the remaining ingredients into powder and mix them together to form pills. If the mixture does not hold together, use the original ox knee wine to make a dough paste and mix it evenly. Place the mixture in a mortar and pound it one to two thousand times, forming pills as big as a phoenix tree seed. Take 30 pills each time, gradually increasing to 50 pills, before meals with warm wine or administer with light salt water.
