In many martial arts dramas, there will always be such a bridge section. If someone is scratched by a sword, the doctor will sprinkle salt on the patient's wound. No, it is applied to some white powder, it can stop the bleeding immediately, and it will not take long for the wound to heal.
This magical powder is the "golden sore medicine". So some people can't help but wonder, can the golden sores medicine really stop the bleeding with a touch? It won't be made up for the effect of the show! If it is so good, why is it lost now? Let's find out.
First of all, can the golden sores medicine stop the bleeding in one stroke?
Here is a point of knowledge, "golden sore medicine", which is an ancient medicine for the treatment of trauma. Indications for knife and axe injuries, bruises. We often see in costume dramas that in ancient times, some heroes, or people with some kung fu, walked the rivers and lakes, and they would carry some "golden sore medicine" on their bodies.
Whether it is injured by a sharp weapon or a sprain, as long as it is smeared, it can quickly stop the bleeding, which is very magical. Many people think that this drug is fictional, but it does exist in history.
So is this medicine really so magical? What are its main ingredients? Gold sores medicine is a powdered drug that grinds very finely, and its composition and formulation vary slightly depending on the age.
At the earliest time, the golden sore medicine was mainly boiled with lard, rosin and yellow wax, filtered to remove the slag, and then added to various medicinal powders and collected with porcelain. If the injury is applied immediately, it can stop the bleeding, and it will not suppurate, which is very easy to use.
It is also recorded in the medical books of the Taiping Shenghuifang. Some common herbs, after blending, can also be made into gold sore medicine. However, in most ancient medical books, the formula of golden sore medicine contains a raw material called "keel".
Large households will use ice chips, mint, gastropod and keel to make top-of-the-line gold sore medicine. In the era of cold weapons, most of the ancients were engaged in production labor and walked the rivers and lakes, and inevitably bumped and bumped, and even suffered serious trauma.
In ancient times, there were still many countries that fought for a long time, and the demand for gold sore medicine was also greater, so various types of gold sore medicine also appeared. Until the Qing Dynasty, golden sore medicine was also circulated on the market.
How effective is the golden sores medicine?
Of course, it is not as magical as seen in the TV series, nor is it as popular as it was at the time, which can be called a panacea. It was just that at that time, the medical conditions were limited, people had headaches and brain fever, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only use gold sores medicine.
With the development of medical level, many medical experts have analyzed the golden sores medicine later, saying: golden sore medicine has the effect of eliminating traumatic infection, and carefully formulated golden sore medicine can also accelerate blood circulation and make the wound quickly scab.
Because at that time, the ancients would not know that being scratched by metal would infect tetanus, and there was no tetanus vaccine at that time, and the golden sores medicine only had the effect of activating blood and dissolving stasis, similar to today's Yunnan Baiyao and Sanqi powder, this Chinese medicine cannot be compared with a shrimpin and tetanus vaccine.
It can only be said that the ancients suffered minor trauma at that time. Applying gold sores medicine will heal in a few days. So everyone passed on ten to ten hundred, and at that time, the golden sore medicine was worshipped as a divine medicine.
If there is a serious internal injury, let alone a golden sore medicine, it is the immortal who comes, I am afraid that it will not be able to save it. Therefore, everyone still has to believe in science, which part of the body has a problem, and seek medical treatment in time. Don't blindly believe in the so-called folk remedies, which eventually delay the disease.
Why is the golden sore medicine lost?
Since the golden sore medicine was worshipped as a miracle medicine in ancient times, why was it lost later? Many small partners must think, will not be later people found not to be easy to use, so it is abandoned, right?
No, there are only two reasons why the ancient prescription was lost, either the prescription was lost, or the medicinal materials on the formula were gone. The reason why the golden sore medicine was lost was also because of the lack of a key medicinal material "dragon bone".
We know that Chinese medicine is generally herbal medicine and the carcasses of some animals, such as snake bile, scorpions, etc., and in the golden sore medicine, there is such a precious medicinal herb keel. The so-called keel is not really a dragon in ancient times, but refers to some fossil bones of elderly animals, such as rhinoceros and elephant bones.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to call fossils keels, and many ancient books have also mentioned that Shanxi Province is rich in keels. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, a minister fell ill. I used a drug called keel.
Later, with the development of human civilization, animal fossils were gradually treated as cultural relics and protected by the state, and the flavored herbs of the keel were also missing, and later the golden sores medicine was slowly lost.
