Treating Melasma
(1) Equal parts of White Aconite Root, White Peony Root, White Lotus Root, White Poria, and Honeyed Gypsum ground into fine powder. Mix with milk before bedtime and apply to the face to treat melasma.
(2) 20g processed Cyperus rotundus, 20g red peony root, 10g prepared rehmannia, 10g angelica root, 15g chrysanthemum fruit, 15g salvia miltiorrhiza, 15g wolfberry. Boil in water, take one dose daily, ten doses per course. Can effectively fade melasma; for deeper or more extensive spots, multiple courses may be used without adverse effects on the body.
(3) Equal parts of Silkworm pupa and White Creeping Jenny mixed into melted petroleum jelly to form a paste. Apply externally three times daily to treat melasma.
(4) 150g each of White Aconite Root, gypsum, and White芷, ground into extremely fine powder, mixed uniformly. Take one spoonful each morning and night after washing the face, applying directly to affected areas to treat melasma.
(5) 5 eggs, separate egg whites and place in a bottle. Submerge in cooking wine (just enough to cover the whites), seal for one month. Pour off the wine, retrieve the egg whites. Each night, after washing the face, apply to the face, rinse off with warm water the next morning, then cleanse with cold water. Effective for treating melasma.
