What medicinal materials does the ointment consist of?

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.

Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces are the main components of ointment, and they are the medicine parts that doctors give after detailed dialectical analysis according to patients' different constitutions and the needs of their illness. Constitution includes yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency, blood deficiency, and viscera deficiency. According to the compatibility principle of monarch, minister and assistant, doctors reasonably select the processed Chinese medicines needed for compatibility to form a prescription, so as to reflect the efficacy of ointment in regulating the body and preventing and treating diseases. Such as weak pulse, fatigue, exercise asthma, tasteless diet, etc., are mostly qi-deficient constitution, and should be selected from Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, Poria and Atractylodes macrocephala.

The compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine in ointment is a big prescription. Because of the duality of "preventing disease" and "tonifying deficiency" in the prescription, the Chinese medicine in the ointment tastes better.

There are many kinds of common prescription drugs, and the dosage of drugs should meet the dosage of an ointment for 30 ~ 50 days. Under normal circumstances, the total amount of traditional Chinese medicine in one dose of ointment should be controlled at about 3KG, and at most it should not be

More than 5 kilograms. When compatibility, it is necessary to avoid the lack of medicinal flavor, which makes the efficacy difficult to find; Or blindly pursue a big and complete prescription, resulting in too many varieties and too heavy drugs, resulting in the omission and waste of traditional Chinese medicine.
