- Making honey pills is not too hard. I made 八味地黃丸 Bāwèi dìhuáng wán (腎氣丸 Shèn qì wán). Using dìhuáng makes the process a little more complicated than other recipes, but this is how you make honey pills.

Thank you so much Lorraine , for the longest time i was searching the pill dough recipe for my patients, you are a blessing from
Heaven and Earth
Hhahahahahahaha, looooove the cat !!!! Wondeful video, thank you Lorraine 🙂
Nice classic pills, good job, stay healthy Dear Lorraine!
As a Kung Fu practitioner, I've recently gotten into the 跌打 side of the art, including making our family's traditional medicines, and I have to say this video was an excellent and informative resource for someone just learning how to make the honey pills.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
What book are you referencing?
Sorry, I made this video quite a while ago. Did I mention a book? What did I say about it? (Please don't make me watch myself talking if I don't need to.)
The formula is froom Jingui Yaolue, but I researched this formula in many old books. I believe I used Xue Ji's version of the recipe. He was a Ming dynasty doctor. Sorry, I just saw your comment.
How do you think about the toxicity of prepared Fu Zi in honey-pill format? I'm accustomed to prescribing long cook times for decoction under the assumption that even prepared Fu Zi needs to be cooked for a long time in order to be safe. But in the case of Ba Wei Wan and Fu Zi Li Zhong Wan, the Fu Zi has negligible exposure to heat...
Yeah, its a question. But that is the recipe as it has been used for 1800 years. The fuzi is already processed, which reduces the toxicity. In decoctions, it is cooked in advance of the other herbs. But in honey pills, it is not further cooked. I don't know about the legal liability if treating others, but I do know that the formula did wonders for me with no side effects.
pubmed article on aconite toxicity pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19514874/
This article (poorly translated) says the antidote for fuzi toxicity is a decoction of gancao100g, tufuling 50g, and mung beans 50g. www.aacmaonline.com/en/%E5%AD%A6%E6%9C%AF%E6%B4%BB%E5%8A%A8/understanding-the-chinese-medical-herb-aconite-fuzi/
@@LorraineWilcox Thanks for your reply! And great links! Do you have any idea where the long boil recommendation comes from? Is it a modern biochemically influenced recommendation, or is it found in classical texts? I know that some formulas (like from SHL) were supposedly written with unprocessed fu zi. I wonder if by boiling it for so long I'm actually reducing its medical efficacy...
Of course I can't experiment on myself because I already have plenty of internal heat! I have side effects to fu zi at normal dosage even with the long boil. Thanks again! Do you think you'll start making videos again soon? I miss seeing your new experiments. I'd love to see some about the basic pao zhi techniques. Specifically, I've never been able to figure out to my satisfaction the difference between wine-washed (jiu xi) and wine-fried, or if there is a difference at all.
@@drjamesmohebali Thanks for your kind words! I would have to research when recipes started discussing long boils of fuzi... if I remember, I'll take a look tomorrow. As for making more videos... I made temporarily ran out of new projects, but here and there I come across something new for me. I have not done a lot of paozhi videos. Maybe I should do them.
