There are three types of refined honey, namely young honey, medium honey and old honey, which actually refers to the degree of heat used in refining the honey.
Most honey pills are made from medium-quality honey. 1000g of honey can produce about 800g of refined honey. 1000g of Chinese medicinal powder requires about 1200g of refined honey.
"Medium honey" is made by heating raw honey and boiling it for a long time or continuing to heat tender honey to 116℃~118℃. The foam has a light red luster and is sticky when twisted by hand, but cannot be pulled into long white threads. It is suitable for making pills with medicinal materials that are partially sticky or partially fibrous.
Once the honey is prepared, you can mix the medicine. Pour the refined honey into the bowl of powdered medicine with a spoon, and stir the powder with a thick bamboo chopstick, just like adding water and kneading dough before making dumplings. Add honey while mixing the powdered medicine. When there is almost no dry powder, stop adding honey (be careful not to add too much honey, as it will make it difficult for the pills to form).
If the total amount of honey is not well controlled at the beginning, you can make up for it according to the dryness and wetness of the medicine powder when mixing the honey. After mixing, mix the medicine and honey in the basin like kneading dough into a ball.
After mixing, you can roll the pills. To prevent the pills from sticking to your hands, you can put a small amount of vegetable oil on the palm of your hand when rolling the pills. This will not only prevent them from sticking, but also make the pills smooth and shiny.
The honey pills are round and smooth in shape, dense and moist on the surface, and have no visible fibers or other abnormalities.
Liu Yuhan carefully controlled the amount of each pill and finally made Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills and Shanghan Ganmao Pills.
Fortunately, she bought two dozen rubber gloves at that time, which were needed for important tasks such as rolling pills.
After all, when working in an environment where a sterile environment is impossible, we can only strengthen the requirements for environmental and personal hygiene.
