Treatment for Night Crying - Folk Remedy 9
Decoction of Five Ingredients with Licorice and Raw Pig Fat. Licorice, wind-dispelling herb (each one ounce), white atractylodes (twenty zhu), leech fruit (two taels and half), platycodon (twenty zhu). Crush the above ingredients, then fry in one jin of unadulterated pig fat until it becomes a paste. Simmer gently over low heat until thickened, filter out residue, take one pill-sized portion, rub on the child's hands repeatedly. For cold conditions, use warm; for heat conditions, use cool. Even if the child is healthy, apply the ointment daily in the morning to the forehead and palms and soles to prevent cold wind invasion. <Night crying>
