What are the effects of dog skin plaster

It can also be used together with internal medicines, which can have a series of effects such as relaxing muscles and blood circulation, relieving inflammation and pain, etc. You can recover if you persist for a long time.

Medical principles

Plasters work through the skin. Plaster therapy is one of the commonly used external treatment methods in clinical Chinese medicine. It follows the principles of Chinese medicine's diagnosis and treatment based on syndrome differentiation and the efficacy, main indications and meridians of Chinese medicine, fully mobilizes the effectiveness of drugs to coordinate with each other, and forms a compound prescription of multiple drugs to exert the good effects of the drugs. Since the plaster is applied directly to the body surface, and most of the medicines used to make the plaster have a strong odor, they are then added with strong pungent and fragrant meridian-guiding medicines, which penetrate into the skin, and then travel through the meridians and internal organs to regulate qi and blood, dredge the meridians, dissipate cold and dampness, and reduce swelling and pain.

According to modern pharmacological research, black plaster is superior to rubber plaster in terms of absorption and efficacy. However, since the production process of black plaster is relatively complicated, there is no unified standard and it is difficult to control quality, resulting in uneven quality of black plaster. Because the production of black plasters is time-consuming and labor-intensive, traditional Chinese medicine hospitals mostly carry out external application of Chinese medicine, that is, the Chinese herbal medicine is crushed and mixed with honey, vaseline and other bases to form an ointment for external application and then fixed with cotton paper and bandages. The dressing is changed every 24 hours, and the cost of use is relatively high. Each black plaster can be used for 3-15 days and can be applied again after being removed without affecting the efficacy, so the cost is relatively low.

Traditional Chinese medicine surgical plasters apply the principles of Chinese medicine meridians and the effectiveness of drugs working in harmony with each other to form a large compound of multiple drugs in order to exert the good effects of the drugs. Since the plaster is used for thin application on the skin surface, drugs with strong smell are taken in the plaster, and they are used as guide drugs to lead the group of drugs, so as to open up the knots and relieve the stagnation and reach the affected area directly. Therefore, it can penetrate the skin to produce anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood circulation and blood stasis removal, meridian and collateral dredging, orifice and bone penetration, wind and cold dispelling and other effects. The plaster applied to the body surface stimulates nerve endings, dilates blood vessels through reflex, promotes local blood circulation, improves nutrition of surrounding tissues, and achieves the purpose of reducing swelling, inflammation and analgesia. At the same time, the drug penetrates through the skin at the affected area and reaches the subcutaneous tissue, producing a relative advantage in drug concentration locally, thereby exerting a stronger pharmacological effect. In addition, because some of the plasters contain highly irritating drugs, the strong stimulation can regulate body functions through nerve reflexes, promote antibody formation, and enhance human immunity. After the drug penetrates the skin and mucous membranes, it enters the systemic circulation through blood vessels or lymphatic vessels and can also produce systemic drug effects.
