Sheep tail fat (STF) coming from sheeps hip and tail fat is rich in functional fatty acids, and can be used as traditional Chinese medicine processing excipients to enhance the efficacy of the role, but also can treat some diseases, and has a good anti-inflammatory effect. The in-depth study of the function of STF is of great significance. The effects of STF on traditional Chinese medicine processing and inflammation were summarized. Compared with other processing methods, the processing effect of STF was better, and its effects on repairing wound and reducing inflammation was better than that of bovine kidney fat.
