"Hard plaster, also known as plaster, is a kind of hard plaster made by frying drugs in vegetable oil to a certain extent, removing residues until they drop into beads, adding Huang Dan, stirring and cooling. Mainly used to treat local diseases and systemic diseases. "

Plaster therapy is a unique therapy of traditional Chinese medicine with a long history. There are records about plasters in China's classical literature, such as Huangdi Neijing, Shennong Herbal Classic, Difficult Classic and so on.

External plaster has certain curative effect on external diseases, even internal diseases.

There are black plaster, rosin plaster, rubber plaster, cataplasm, etc. according to different substrates and manufacturing processes.
