1. Draws out Foetal Toxins (胎毒, Tai Du) and vents rashes
   First invented during the Song Zhenzhong Era (998 - 1002), smallpox pustules from survivors were inoculated into healthy children in the belief they would resonate with the innate toxins implanted at conception by the parent's excessive passions, drawing them out so they could be fought off when strong, instead of waiting until the body was too weak to contain them and they would erupt dangerously.
   
   The theory may not have been accurate (although nowhere in the world had developed germ theory by then), but it reduced deaths from an estimated 30% to 1.5-3% and represents the first example of immunisation, demonstrating that Chinese medicine is definitely not anti-vax.

Suggested Daily Dosage: Dried scabs sprinked on cotton wool and inserted up the nose which would be plugged for 12-24 hours until innoculated.

Notes:

Meridians are based partly on symptomology experienced from the milder forms of the disease (fever, muscle aches: Taiyang), nausea, mouth lesions & red skin pustules (Yangming), the belief that it was an inherited condition (Kidney), the inoculation route chosen by blowing into the nose (Large Intestine) and its propensity for the skin and causing death by infecting the Lung.
