How long can Ejiao be preserved?

If Ejiao is stored for a long time, its medicinal properties will be more peaceful and its fire toxicity will be reduced. It is generally recommended that fresh Ejiao be stored for more than 3 years before use.

Ejiao is a traditional tonic with the functions of nourishing blood, stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Generally, fresh Chinese medicine is good, and aged donkey-hide gelatin is good. This is because fresh donkey-hide gelatin is warm and has certain fire toxicity. After taking it, there will be symptoms of excessive internal heat, such as sore mouth and tongue, sore throat, red eyes, dry stool and short urine. Not only can it not nourish yin and replenish blood, but it may also be harmful to health.

Ejiao is easy to get wet and not resistant to high temperature. Ejiao can be packed into edible packaging bags, tied tightly and then stored in the refrigerator. The jelly tonic cooked at home also needs to be sealed and kept in the refrigerator. Once the color and smell change, it cannot be eaten.
