Chinese Name (pinyin): Shuiniujiao Nongsuofen
Chinese Name :
Common Name :Condensed buffalo horn powder
Specific Name : Pulvis cornus bubali concentratus
Scientific Name:
Collection : Procedure: Take Cornu Bubali, wash clean, cut with a saw, eliminate the bony plug, split into small pieces. Select the solid tip part, which is commonly known as "jiaojian" (horn tip). Immerse in 70% ethanol or sterilize with a steam the pulverized to fine powder. Break the rest, which is commonly known as "Jiaozhuang" (horn stake) to coarse granules or thin slices. Decoct 810g of the coarse granules or slices of the horn stake with 10 times of water twice for 7 - 10 hours each time. Supplement the evaporated water during decocting. Combine the decoction and filter. Concentrate the filtrate to 80 - 160ml. Add 190g of the fine powder of horn tip, mix well, dry below 80ºC, pulverize to fine powder and sift.
Description : Pale greyish powder, odour slightly stinking, taste slightly salty.Water: Carry out the method for determination of water (Appendix lX H, method1) not more than 11.0%.

Indication : high fever, delirium and eruptions epidemic diseases; spitting of blood, epistaxis; convulsions and mania
Precautions :
Dosage : 1.5 to 3 g, 2 times a day.
Storage : Preserve in well closed containers, stored in a dry place, protected from moisture.
