Lip balm made of rose, angelica dahurica, mint, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine aromatherapy made of wormwood, calamus and Eupatorium odoratum, and "waist-protecting and palace-warming hot compress bag" made of wormwood and coarse salt ... What wonderful "chemical reaction" will there be if ordinary items such as lip balm and aromatherapy are superimposed with Chinese herbal medicines with different effects?

This group of nurses in Haining Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital tell you with a pair of skillful hands that the health care products made of these Chinese herbal medicines are both beautiful and practical.

"This lip balm is mainly made of Chinese herbal medicines." Cheng Feie, a nurse in the outpatient department of Haining Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, chose these Chinese herbal medicines mainly for their respective efficacy. For example, angelica dahurica has whitening effect, mint has cool taste, and rose powder is red, which can enhance color and highly moisturize, and can prevent chapped lips.

How is this lip balm made? "We bought lipstick molds from the Internet, and the medicinal materials were all taken from the Chinese pharmacy in the hospital. First, these materials are ground into powder, then blended according to the degree of moisturizing, and finally solidified. " Cheng Fei said. Although the process doesn't seem complicated, the actual operation may take a lot of thought. Cheng Fei 'e and her colleagues only use their spare time to make it.

"If a citizen friend wants to try to make his own lip balm, he can also try it according to our production steps." Cheng Fei 'e said that lip balm is not for sale, just to promote Chinese medicine culture to everyone.

Interested friends, the following production steps have been collected.

First, material procurement.

Second, the rose petals, angelica dahurica, mint are ground into fine powder, and the grinding must be very fine, otherwise it is easy to have graininess.

3. After grinding, add vitamin E, glycerin and other auxiliary materials, mix the powder, stir according to the moisture content, and then introduce it into the model.

4. After the paste is film-formed, it is demoulded and put into the bought lipstick tube to complete the production.

"In fact, before and after the Nurses' Day every year, hospitals will carry out similar Chinese medicine culture promotion activities. "Shen Haihong, director of the nursing department of Haining Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that there was a Chinese medicine diet earlier, and last year's Chinese herbal medicine painting was also loved by the public." Such activities can not only show the talents of our nurses, but also publicize the culture of Chinese medicine to the public, killing two birds with one stone. "

In addition to lip balm, nurses in the emergency infusion department also used traditional Chinese medicines such as mint, wormwood, calamus, Eupatorium odoratum, agastache and soybean wax. Nurses in the second department use safflower, ginger, wormwood, motherwort and Spatholobus as foot-soaking materials, and nurses in the operating room use moxa sticks, coarse salt and a piece of blue canvas to make a "waist-protecting warm palace hot compress bag" ...
