According to the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, “Heaven and man correspond to each other”, it is believed that winter is the main “seal and hide”, so winter is the best time to take ointment. There is also a folk saying that “tonic in winter will help you fight the tiger in spring”. In recent years, as people’s awareness of health care increases, more and more people come to hospitals for prescriptions, forming a peak. It has a long history, and entered a mature stage during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its application has spread from the palace and the government to the folk, and gradually pushed from the prevalence in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Beijing, Guangdong and Hubei. The cream prescriptions were favored for tonicity and were welcomed by both the court and the public, and the doctors even captured the length of the creams and added prescriptions to treat the weak, giving full play to the advantages of one person. Because of its sticky appearance, sweet taste, comprehensive effect of nourishment and disease prevention, strong targeting, and individualized health care, it is highly regarded and respected by people, and some overseas Chinese and some foreign friends will come to China from far away to prescribe poultices for themselves or their families in winter season. So, how does modern medicine view the mechanism of action of TCM poultices? With the deepening of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, a series of extensive and in-depth researches on the mechanism of action and clinical application of poultices have been carried out with fruitful results using modern medical knowledge. The experimental research confirms that creams play an important role in regulating hormone levels, immunity and removal of harmful substances in the body. 1.Regulation of hormone level: Postmenopausal osteoporosis, menopause syndrome, post-hysterectomy patients, in the process of estrogen level decrease, treatment with estrogen is effective, but there is potential carcinogenicity, while taking cream can improve the symptoms and increase the value of bone density. Free radicals are ions produced during the oxidation process of the body, which can easily react with other substances and destroy the normal cell structure. Some scholars researching the effect of cream on delaying aging confirmed that the cream Qiong Yu cream can improve the hypothalamus superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity and reduce the content of lipid peroxide in experimental mice, which can effectively prevent free radical attack, thus delaying aging and improving the symptoms of aging. 3, regulate the body immunity Some experiments have found that the cream formula can promote the atrophy of thymus and spleen in mice, inhibit the cellular immune response, and inhibit the delayed metamorphosis stimulated by dinitrochlorobenzene; on the other hand, it can promote the synthesis of immunoglobulins, improve serum antibody production, and increase the percentage of neutrophils, reflecting the increase of non-specific immune function of the body. In short, the regulation of the body’s immunity by cream is two-way, mainly regulating, not just enhancing the body’s immunity. 4.Inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis Modern medicine believes that insufficient apoptosis is one of the important mechanisms of tumor pathogenesis, and Chinese medicine cream formula can effectively improve apoptosis index, which provides the theoretical basis for the application of cream formula in tumor. At the same time, the cream formula can also effectively reduce the side effects of tumor chemotherapy. What are the positive effects of cream prescriptions in the treatment of untreated diseases? 1.Sub-healthy people According to the World Health Organization, sub-healthy state is the critical state between health and disease, with negative results of various instruments and tests, but the body has various discomfort feelings. Especially in the office with poor air circulation, work pressure and lack of exercise, 75% of the people in a state of subhealth fatigue, Chinese medicine often identified as qi deficiency, qi depression is more. If the cream formula is given to benefit qi and relieve depression, it can significantly improve clinical symptoms.

Poultice can adjust yin and yang, nourish qi and blood, and regulate the spleen and stomach, thus improving the state of middle-aged and elderly people’s yin and yang qi and blood decline. Modern research has confirmed that certain creams can scavenge free radicals, regulate the immune function of the body and strengthen the body’s resistance, thus delaying the aging process and improving the symptoms of aging.
