Cream is not only a tonic and medicine, but also has very strict quality requirements, so when taking cream, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. The best prescription amount of ointment: Because ointment has the duality of "tonifying deficiency" and "treating diseases", the traditional Chinese medicine flavor of ointment is more than the prescription flavor of decoction. In order to reduce the loss caused by boiling the container, the total amount of traditional Chinese medicine part of a dose of ointment should be controlled above 2kg, not more than 5kg.

2. Selection of medicinal materials for ointment: Try to choose medicinal materials with large dosage of ointment, such as Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Ophiopogonis, Radix Asparagi, Herba Cistanches, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Polygonati, etc. Choose less or not choose leaves, grass and minerals. Some Chinese medicines that should not be decocted for a long time, such as Uncaria rhynchophylla, mint, rhubarb, etc., should not be used as much as possible. If necessary, it can be replaced by non-decocted traditional Chinese medicine granules, and added at the end of paste collection.

3. The compatibility of sugar in the ointment can not only cover up the bitter taste of the medicine, but also make the ointment easy to take, and all kinds of sugar also have a certain nourishing effect. For example, white sugar has the effects of moistening lung, promoting fluid production, harmonizing middle energizer and benefiting qi, soothing liver and regulating qi. Brown sugar has the effects of enriching blood, breaking blood stasis, soothing the liver and dispelling cold. Honey has the effects of tonifying the middle energizer, moistening the lungs and relieving cough.
