(ii) Add the mixed powder to 30 parts by weight of vegetable oil and fry the mixture under vacuum. (iii) Heat the vegetable oil over a high flame to 225-255°C and refine it for 30-60 minutes until it reaches the state where "drops form beads"; (iv) Reduce the oil temperature to 200℃±5℃, and sprinkle in the dried lead oxide and clove oil in batches, stirring until the paste is brownish-black, viscous and stringy; the lead oxide is 5 to 15 parts by weight and the clove oil is 6 to 9 parts by weight. (v) Pour the hot paste into cold water containing EDTA and licorice powder, knead repeatedly until the paste is black and shiny and odorless; (vi) Spread the paste onto the composite cloth, with a thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 cm, and let it cool.
[0044] A further embodiment of the present invention is that the composite fabric comprises an anti-adhesive layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a backing layer, wherein the paste is applied onto the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The anti-adhesive layer protects the paste; it is removed before use. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer carries the paste and controls the release of the drug. The backing layer provides support and determines flexibility and breathability.
[0045] EDTA binds with heavy metal ions in the ointment to form chelates, reducing the risk of heavy metal ions. Licorice powder can more quickly neutralize the heat toxins in the ointment, after which the ointment gradually becomes dark and shiny, and has no pungent odor. It is gentle and non-irritating when applied to the skin. There are no discomfort symptoms such as erythema, papules, or itching.
[0046] The main component of the plaster is plant oil, which reacts with litharge to form a dense, oily paste. During application, the high-temperature plaster penetrates the gaps in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, which is made of fabric fibers. Upon cooling, this forms a continuous, waterproof, and airtight oily film that tightly covers the surface and interior of the fabric. This oily film acts as an excellent hydrophobic barrier, effectively preventing the penetration of external liquid water and also preventing the free evaporation of sweat and moisture from the skin. It protects the plaster from being diluted or washed away by water. In treating certain types of arthralgia requiring "closed sweating," it can act as a kind of "occlusive" seal, promoting drug penetration. Newly applied plasters have almost no air or moisture permeability due to the dense seal of the plaster. It is a completely closed system. After a period of time, such as 24-72 hours, the plaster will slowly soften and melt under body temperature. Its structure will become looser, and some of the oily components may be absorbed or oxidized by the skin. At this time, the tiny channels between the fabric fibers may reopen. More importantly, the cream itself may develop tiny cracks due to changes in moisture and temperature, forming a breathable structure. This increases the overall breathability and moisture permeability of the old black cream, which is beneficial to skin health.
