2. Observe the microscopic characterization of "Tianwang Xinxinwan". See Fig. 2.


[Prescription]: Salvia miltiorrhiza 25 g Radix Codonopsis pilosulae 25 g Radix Angelicae Sinensis 50 g Acorus calamus 25 g Poria cocos 25 g Fructus schisandrae chinensis 50 g Ophiopogon flexuosus 50 g Asparagus ternatus 50 g Rhizoma Dioscoreae 200 g Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhiza glabra 25 g Polygonatum multiflorum (made from) 25 g Zaojubes indica (fried) 50 g Cortex Pseudostemma 50 g Platycodon Grandiflorum 25 g Glycyrrhiza glabra 25 g Rhizoma Cinnabaris 10 g

[Method]: The above sixteen flavors, cinnabar is flown into very fine powder; the remaining fifteen flavors of Salvia miltiorrhiza are crushed into fine powder, mixed with the above powder, sieved and mixed well. Every 100 g of powder with 20-30 g of refined honey, add the appropriate amount of water pan pills, dry, made of water honey pills; or add 50-70 g of refined honey into small honey pills or large honey pills, that is obtained.

[Microscopic identification]: Take this product and observe under the microscope.
