2. Preparation of honey: The preparation of honey refers to the preparation of honey according to the weight of medicinal powder at the ratio of 1: 1.2- 1.5 (for example, 1000g medicinal powder 1200~ 1500g honey,
3, honey refining: honey refining is honey refining. The purpose of honey refining is to remove impurities, destroy enzymes, kill bacteria, evaporate water and enhance viscosity. When refining honey, first boil it with strong fire, and then simmer it with slow fire. At the same time, put a bowl of cold water beside it and pay attention to the color of honey. When the honey turns Huang Shi, dip a drop of honey with bamboo chopsticks, then move the bamboo chopsticks above the cold water bowl and let the honey drop into the water. If honey does not disperse in water and sinks to the bottom (that is, "dripping into beads"), honey is refined.
If honey can't be boiled, it can't be made into pills. Of course, it is not good to overdo it, so we must master the temperature.
There are three kinds of refined honey, namely tender honey, medium honey and old honey. "Tender honey" is made by boiling raw honey until the temperature reaches 105℃ ~ 1 15℃ and filtering to remove foam. Its color change is not obvious, it loses less water and is slightly sticky. Suitable for starch, mucus, sugar and fat. "Medium honey" means that raw honey is boiled for a long time or tender honey is continuously heated to116℃ ~118℃.
The foam is reddish in luster and sticky in hand, but it can't be drawn into white filaments, so it is suitable for making pills with some viscosity or some fibers. "Old honey" means that raw honey is heated for a longer time or tender honey and medium honey are heated to 1 19℃ ~ 122℃, so that the water is fully evaporated, the bubbles are reddish brown and shiny, and white filaments can be drawn. It is suitable for making pills containing a lot of fibers or minerals with poor viscosity.
Most honey pills are made of Chinese honey. 1000g honey can produce about 800g refined honey, and about 1000g Chinese medicinal powder needs refined honey. ) picture
4. Mix medicine with medicine: pour the cooked honey into the powder in the disinfection basin with a spoon, and at the same time stir it with thick bamboo chopsticks, just like adding water and flour before wrapping jiaozi. Mix the powder while pouring honey, and stop adding honey when the dry powder is basically invisible (be careful not to add too much, because too much honey is not easy to form pills).
If you don't have a good grasp of the total amount of honey at first, adjusting honey at this time can be remedied according to the dry humidity of the powder. After mixing, put the medicine and honey into a disinfection basin and knead them into a ball.

5. Rubbing pills: In order to prevent the pills from sticking to hands or utensils, a small amount of glycerin, sesame oil or peanut oil can be rubbed in the palm of your hand, which is not only difficult to stick, but also makes the pills smooth and bright.
If the weight of each pill is 10g and the weight of one material is 3000g, 300 pills will be made. The blended pill can be divided into three pieces, and each piece can be divided into five small pieces. After rubbing, each lump can be cut into 20 sections, and each section can be rubbed with a pill. The rest are allowed.
