Introduction to traditional Chinese medicine preparation method (Liushen Pill production technology)

Applicant: Huangpu District, Shanghai

Liushen Pill originated from Lei Zichun. During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Lei Zifan, a descendant of Lei family, obtained Liushen Pill prescription, expanded production and gained increasing reputation. Now it is a famous characteristic variety of Shanghai leiyunshang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It is a national secret variety and also a national general protected variety of traditional Chinese medicine. It won the National Gold Award three times in 1979, 1984 and 1989.

Liushen Pill applies a unique theory of compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine: the medicinal materials used are not the most commonly used plant drugs, but animal and mineral drugs, and have certain toxicity. Only doctors who are familiar with the essence of traditional Chinese medicine theory can develop such a formula, which can not only retain the effective components of toxic medicinal materials, but also reduce the toxic and side effects of toxic medicinal materials. Compared with other traditional Chinese medicine, Liushen Pill has the characteristics of small dosage and fast onset. The dosage is only in milligrams; other traditional Chinese medicine usually takes weeks and months for a course of treatment, while Liushen Pill can play its role in a day and a half after taking it.

In terms of technique, Liushen Pill was made by hand from material selection to "Pan pill" (i.e. pill making). The selection of pearls is very strict. Pearls are made of Ganglian pearls instead of laoguang pearls. Musk must be "dangmenzi", which means the dry secretion of the granular ones in the sacs of the lower abdominal gland of the musk deer, with high quality and high price. Most of the time of purchasing toad venom was in spring and autumn and rainy season. They purchased toad venom directly from rural farmers, and the old pharmacists guided them to scrape toad venom slurry. "Pan pill" is made by hand, such as molding, stripping and polishing, which makes the pellets have the characteristics of roundness, high brightness and fast disintegration. "Pan pill" is a traditional process of traditional Chinese medicine, but it is difficult to make pills as small as Liushen Pill (such as mustard seed), which shows its unique technology. The manufacturing process is broken down according to the steps of purchasing, processing and matching. Pharmaceutical workers perform their own duties and are not allowed to inquire about each other. After each post finished the original medicine, it was collected in the hands of the successor, who completed the final synthesis in a closed room.
