New processing technology of traditional Chinese medicine cicada slough

Abstract

The invention discloses a new process for processing the cicada sloughs of traditional Chinese medicine, which includes the following steps: 1) Evenly spread the collected cicada sloughs on a filter screen or a partition, and spray the cicada sloughs using atomized spraying to make the cicada sloughs The surface should be moist and kept for 3-5 minutes; 2) After the spraying is completed, drain the water so that there are no obvious water droplets on the surface of the cicada and no dripping, and then send it to a low-temperature environment for hardening treatment, and the temperature is controlled at 0-5 ℃, hardening treatment for 20 minutes; 3) Put the hardened cicada slough into a sealed container, and a rotating disk is provided in the sealed container. Spray the cicada slough with water while rotating, using the method of spraying up and down at the same time. Just observe that there is no mud or sand impurities on the surface of the cicada slough. 4) After the rotational spraying is completed, open the container and leave it at room temperature for 10 minutes to drain the surface. moisture, and then drying.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to a new process for processing traditional Chinese medicine cicada slough. Background technique [0002] Cicada slough, also known as Chanyi, Zhiliaopi, etc., is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also used in the production and operation of Chinese patent medicines. Cicada slough is the molting shell after the emergence of the black grasshopper of Cicadae insects. It is mainly produced in Henan, Anhui, Shandong and other places, especially in Shandong, which has the largest output. Cicada slough has anticonvulsant and sedative pharmacological effects. It has the effects of dispersing wind sensation, dispersing lung, and calming spasm. Clinically, it is mostly used to treat wind-heat exogenous pathogenesis, cough hoarseness, infantile measles, eye diseases and tetanus, and is widely used. [0003] Because cicada slough is born ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Because cicada sloughs are born underground, they climb on the branches of trees to emerge after they are born naturally. The body, abdomen, and legs are covered with soil and sand, and because they are easily broken after collection, it is inconvenient to process.

The traditional method is to wash in the pool, but it is difficult to completely remove the impurities on the abdomen and legs, and the processing is labor-intensive and easy to break, affecting the quality and shape
