About Bead Involucrum Medicinae Puerilis

Est proverbium Sinicum quod medicina bona amara est, sed saluti prodest. Medicina Sinica traditionalis semper amaritudine sua nota fuit, et plerique pueri eam aegri sumere nolunt. Apud populum Sinicum, multi homines consuetudinem habent dulciarii post medicinae Sinicae potionem edendi. Hac consuetudine inspirata, haec conformatio globulos rumpentes sapore fructuum conditos ampullae liquidi oralis addit, qui sunt sapores citri aurantii, mangonis et mali viridis. Haec conformatio processum medicinae bibendae, qui pueris originaliter molestus est, iucundiorem et gratiorem reddit.

When taking it, after drinking the last sip of medicine, children can squeeze the burst bead to let out the sweet liquid, so that there will be a bit of slight sweetness to relieve the bitterness of medicine. The child can also squeeze the bead while drinking the medicine to make it a bit tastier.

Production Technology: The body of this product adopts the hot-pressing process, allowing the production process to be simple and efficient, which can effectively save production and transportation costs. At the same time, the whole container is made of biodegradable plastics, which make the whole design environmentally friendly, simple and easy to use.
Inspiration: Traditional Chinese medicine has always been known for its bitter taste, and most children are unwilling to take it when ill. In Chinese folk, many people have the habit of eating a candy after drinking traditional Chinese medicine. Inspired by this custom, this design adds fruit-flavored burst beads to the oral liquid bottle, which are orange, mango and green apple flavors. This design makes the process of drinking medicine, which is originally painful for children, more fun and enjoyable.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2022 and finished in April 2023 in Guangzhou, China.
Operation Flow: When taking this oral liquid, remove the cap by breaking the top of the bottle. After drinking the last sip of medicine, children can squeeze the burst bead to let out the sweet liquid, so that there will be a bit of slight sweetness to relieve the bitterness of medicine. The child can also squeeze the bead while drinking the medicine to make it a bit tastier. This design makes the process of drinking medicine, which is originally painful for children, more fun and enjoyable.
