Mix-frying with turtle’s blood

鳖血炙 〔鱉血炙〕 biē xuè zhì

Stir-frying medicinal materials over a low flame after they have been mixed with fresh turtle’s blood (Trionycis Sanguis, 鳖血 biē xuè). Bupleurum (Bupleuri Radix, 柴胡 chái hú) is treated in this way to harmonize exterior and interior or to abate vacuity heat and eliminate postmeridian tidal heat.
