How is the ointment of traditional Chinese medicine made?

According to the difference between external plaster and oral ointment, the methods of decocting traditional Chinese medicine into ointment are also different. If you want to make it into a paste for oral administration, you can increase the dosage of the medicine, add honey, yellow wine, donkey-hide gelatin and other medicines, boil it for 15 minutes, concentrate the liquid into a paste, put it in a square box, and then set it in the dark. If it is to be made into plaster for external use, it is necessary to add drugs with permeability such as musk, honey and garlic, boil the substances secreted by plants in stainless steel aluminum pot at 70 degrees 15 minutes, spread it into paste after continuous stirring, and apply it after 3~5 days.

Ingredients of freckle cream:

Bupleurum chinense100g, Paeonia lactiflora100g, Angelica sinensis 90g, Poria cocos100g, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae 60g, Euryales euryales120g, Atractylodes macrocephala100g, Astragalus 60g, maltose 650.

Production method:

Step 1: soak Bupleurum, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Poria, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Semen Euryales and Radix Astragali in a big casserole for three hours. After three hours, add a certain amount of water to the casserole, and control the amount of water at about two knuckles. After adding water, boil it with high fire, simmer it with low fire for an hour and a half, and then pour out the medicine soup. This is the first bowl for later use. Then according to the above steps, decoct the second bowl and the third bowl of medicinal soup respectively, and let the decocted medicinal soup stand for 30 minutes.

Pour three bowls of medicinal soup into a clean casserole and boil it with strong fire. When the water in the medicine soup is almost evaporated, after the medicine juice is concentrated in this way, change to a small pot and continue frying. Maltose can be added when there are big bubbles in the medicine juice. Hey, you must pay attention. There is a sense of adding maltose here.

If you can't buy caramel, you can use honey. Then be sure to keep stirring, or you will touch the pot. When the medicine juice in the pot can "hang the flag" along the edge of the wooden shovel like this, it is finished, and then you can put it into a porcelain bottle, which is seven days' consumption. Just eat a spoonful on an empty stomach every morning.

All creams are not suitable for people. For example, patients with chronic diseases such as chronic bronchitis and heart disease should not take cream if they have some acute symptoms such as fever, jaundice, asthma, chest tightness and palpitation. You should wait until the symptoms are relieved before continuing to take it. And don't eat greasy and spicy food, eat less seafood, and don't drink strong tea and coffee.
