Production technology of traditional Chinese medicine pill
The most commonly used method of making traditional Chinese medicine pills is honey roasting. The method is as follows: 1. Take the medicine bought by the pharmacy to the pharmacy with a traditional Chinese medicine pulverizer and crush it with a machine for later use; 2, honey refining: honey often contains a small amount of beeswax, microorganisms and enzymes, and contains dead bees and dust. So honey must be refined before it can be used. The method is to put honey into a pot, add 1/3- 1/2 purified water, slowly heat and boil, remove all floating foam on the surface of honey, and filter out dead bees and impurities with gauze or gauze. The filtered honey is heated and concentrated in a pot with slow fire until the fish's eyes are boiled. Slightly sticky, slightly brushed by hand. The water content is about18%-20% in terms of sugar content, that is, it is quickly taken out of the pot and cooled for use. 3. Put the medicinal materials into the pot, stir-fry with slow fire until the color becomes dark, then add a certain amount of refined honey and turn it quickly to make the honey and medicinal materials mix evenly. When they are not sticky, take them out and make them into pills. 4. Usually the ratio of medicinal materials to refined honey is 4:1; Pills are generally made of buttonwood, which is convenient to take; After being made into pills, it must be cooled and sealed to avoid moisture absorption, stickiness or deterioration; When frying medicinal materials with honey, generally use slow fire to prevent the medicinal materials from coking.
