Some Chinese medicine hospitals have ointment clinics, which are made of traditional Chinese medicine and play a therapeutic role after oral administration, but not every Chinese medicine hospital has such clinics.

Plaster, also called ointment, is named after its dosage form, which belongs to one of the eight major dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine: pill, powder, ointment, Dan, wine, dew, soup and ingot. Plaster is generally composed of about 20 kinds of Chinese medicines, which has a good nourishing effect.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, winter is the best season for tonic all the year round, and cream is the best in winter. There are two kinds of ointment: external use and internal use. External ointment is a commonly used pharmaceutical dosage form in external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, which is not only used for skin, sores and other diseases, but also used in internal medicine and gynecology.
