There are 92 kinds of animal medicine in Shuangbaiyi Medical Book in the middle of 16th century, accounting for 1/3 of the whole book.

The proportion of animal medicine recorded in the Book of Medicine Presentation of the Yi Nationality in the early Qing Dynasty was larger, accounting for 92.8%. It can be seen that the use of animal medicine by the Yi Nationality was relatively high.

"Yunnan Pharmaceutical Standards" contains eight kinds of Yi medicine, and "Chinese Ethnic Pharmacology" contains about 15 kinds of Yi medicine names and medicinal experience.

Yiyi herbal medicines are mostly fresh medicines. In some residential areas (such as Liangshan), there is no accurate dose, and there are many single medicines used. Common uses include mashing, rubbing, external application, chewing, boiling water for oral use and stewed chicken for oral use. The ancestors of the Yi nationality invented the technology of salt making very early. The use of salt has exerted a great influence on the life of the Yi people and the medicine of the Yi people. They cleaned the wounds with saline water and fed the animals. In addition, the Yi people have a long history of using wine in medicine. As early as 43 A.D. (the nineteenth year of Emperor Guangwu's founding of Wu), one of the Yi ancestors living in Liangshan, had brewed poisonous wine and used it for war. In daily life, the Yi people have been hospitable and fond of wine since ancient times. Liquor has become an indispensable drink in the life of the Yi people.
