Add Da Huang toward the end of boiling, as this herb should only be cooked for a few minutes. Dissolve Mang Xiao in the hot liquid as this herb is not boiled. Strain herbs; save and refrigerate for a second boiling. Drink 1 cup in the AM. And 1 cup in the PM. If desired, repeat the following day, using the saved herbs from the refrigerator.
