Many of them have also been used for treating various illness and restoring the normal body functions for hundreds of years, and have proved their effectiveness. One of the most appealing qualities of Chinese herbs therapy is the low risk of adverse reaction or side effects, especially when compared to pharmaceutical drugs.

Add rest of ingredients, stir until consistent, and camphor has melted. Pour into permanent container, and let congeal.
