PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject preparation capable of preventing leaving a part of a drink by dispersion into hot water or water in a time of taking a medicine by formulating essence powder of Chinese medicine/crude medicine with a thickening agent and/or a gelatinizing agent and processing the mixture into a form of granule, tablet, etc. SOLUTION: This preparation is obtained by formulating (A) essence power of Chinese medicine/crude medicine with (B) a thickening agent and/or (C) a gelatinizing agent and optionally (D) a dispersant and processing the mixture into a form selected from powder, granule, tablet, massive agent and capsule. For example, Shosaikoto (phonetic), Gyushakenkigan (phonetic), Hatsumijiougan (phonetic), extracts of aloe, cinnamon, etc., may be cited as the component A. Agar, xanthan gum, gelatin, dextrin, etc., may be cited as the components B and C. The viscosity of a dispersion obtained by dispersing 10 g of a preparation containing the component B into 100 cc hot water or water is preferably about 6.0-3,000 cP. The jelly strength of a dispersion obtained by dispersion 10 g of a preparation containing the component C into 100 cc hot water or water is preferably about 5-100 g/cm<2> . |
