Add 240 grams of fresh shepherd's purse, or 30 grams of dried shepherd's purse, to 3 bowls of water and boil in a clay pot. When 1 bowl of juice is left, beat in 1 egg and cook it. Then add a little salt and eat the vegetable and egg together. If the vegetables are old, you can chew them and spit out the residue. For mild cases, take it once a day, for severe cases, take it twice a day. One month is a course of treatment. After the symptoms disappear, you can take 1 to 2 more courses of treatment.
