Weighed the 10 seeds of Firmiana simplex sized one(çüíÓÞ) which were mixed with auxiliary materials such as water, honey, starch paste, etc. 4. The dosages of other type forms were measured based on the weigh of 10 seeds of Firmiana simplex sized one(çüíÓÞ).
Results : 1. A well-used size of pills is Firmiana simplex sized one(çüíÓÞ). 2. Honey and starch paste are typical auxiliary materials for formulating pills. 3.
