Chinese medicine poultice, also called poultice medicine. It is an internal preparation of Chinese medicine with comprehensive effects of nutrition, treatment and prevention, and is one of the common dosage forms of Chinese medicine such as pills, pills and poultices. Qin Bo Wei, a famous doctor in modern times, has made a high summary of poultice: poultice is a decoction of medicinal juice into a fatty liquid, which nourishes the dryness and weakness of the five organs and six bowels, and is also called poultice medicine. Ointment has a long history. Initially originated from the external use of ointment. In the “Shanhaijing” of the pre-Qin period, it is recorded that there is a sheep’s fat medicine to treat chapped skin, which can be regarded as the prototype of early ointment. In another unearthed book of the Han Dynasty, the “Fifty-two Sicknesses Formula” and the classic “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, there are records of ointment prescriptions. At this time, this kind of cream prescription mostly refers to external application. In the Jin Kui Yao of the Han Dynasty, it is clearly stated that the external use is called “paste formula” and the internal use is called “decoction”, such as Da Wu Tou Decoction, which is used to treat cold hernia pain around the umbilicus, which is the earliest record of internal use of paste formula. In the Tang Dynasty, poultices were used to nourish and strengthen the body, such as almond decoction and Chinese wolfberry decoction. In this period, the internal plaster prescriptions were still called “so-and-so decoction”, but they were extended from treatment to health maintenance. In the Song Dynasty, the name of the internal cream recipe has appeared “decoction” to “cream” over, and more widely used, and mainly for internal use, such as Qiong Yu cream, with ginseng, raw earth, poria, white honey refining, is always used to this day the famous formula. By the Jin-Yuan period to the Ming Dynasty, the name of the internal cream formally changed to “cream formula”, the production process is also gradually improved, marking the development of the cream to a mature stage, and at this time has developed from medicinal to dietary regimen, with “prolong life, fill the essence of the marrow, white hair to black, return to the old age The role of “prolonging life, filling the essence of the marrow, turning white to black, rejuvenating. Such as tianmen dong cream, tortoise and deer two immortal cream. By the Qing Dynasty, cream prescriptions had been widely used in various disciplines of internal and external women and children, from the palace to the folk, and there were strict regulations on the production of cream prescriptions in this period. In recent years, the development of modern cream prescriptions is even faster and faster, and in recent years, in the south, such as Shanghai and Nanjing, major hospitals and pharmacies have been in full swing, and there was a cream fever for a while, and only in the past two years has there been a northward movement of cream prescriptions, from disease conditioning to health and disease prevention, so that more people can benefit. It is widely used in various departments such as internal and external medicine, women and children. According to “Huangdi Neijing”, the fundamental theory of Chinese medicine is also the basic theory of health care, “not to treat the disease and treat the disease before it happens”, and cream prescriptions have become an important part of the project of “treating the disease before it happens”, so as to “prevent the disease before it happens, prevent the disease before it happens, and prevent the disease after it happens”. The “prevention of disease before it happens, prevention of disease after it happens, prevention of disease after it happens”. Under the guidance of the theory of treating the untreated disease, Chinese medicine classifies people into nine types of physical constitution: calm and peaceful, qi-vacant, yang-vacant, yin-vacant, phlegm-damp, damp-heat, blood-stasis, qi-depressed, and special endowment. According to these different body types, we can make use of the cream formula to identify the body to regulate. For various recurrent diseases, treatment should be given before the onset of the disease, such as dysmenorrhea and recurrent colds, before the onset of the disease. For obstructive pulmonary disease, early treatment is necessary to prevent further aggravation of the disease and to achieve the purpose of disease prevention and change. The use of cream is suitable for all seasons, but mainly in winter. One method is from the beginning of winter to the end of spring of the following year, and another is from the first day of the winter solstice to the end of the sixth nine days, generally taking about 30-50 days. Why is the cream mostly taken in winter? Chinese medicine believes that the law of nature is “spring, summer, autumn harvest, winter collection”, “March of winter, this is closed”, in winter everything is hidden, the human body’s yin essence and yang energy is also hidden in the body, Yang Qi introverted, better digestive function. It is easy to absorb the tonic at this time, so that the physique can be enhanced in all aspects, and it can benefit the yin essence and replenish the yang energy, and support the righteousness. As the saying goes, “Winter tonic will help you fight the tiger in the coming year”, which means that if you take the cream in winter, you will be able to save for the coming spring, when the yang energy comes out, and your body will be strong and healthy, so that you will not get sick or less sick, and you will be able to cure the disease.
