description
After extracting the gallstones from the cattle's intestines they
have to be washed thoroughly with cold water to remove blood clots,
impurities etc. After washing they are dried for two to three weeks
in a dark and well ventilated environment at a temperature of
approx. *0 degrees Celsius. The stones have to be moved regularly
for better drying and to avoid them sticking at each other. After
full drying the stones are packed in hermetically sealed bags.
In Chinese medicine ox gallstone (Niuhuang) is applied for the
formula Angong Niuhuang Wan together with Coptis root (Huanglian),
Rhinoceros horn (Xijiao), Musk (Shexiang), natural Indigo (Qingdai)
and Honeysuckle Flower (Jinyinhua).
