[Objective] To optimize the technology for Antipyretic Mixture (AM), which is mainly composed of Herba Ephedrae, Gypsum Fibrosum (GF), Rhizoma Amenarrhenae, Radix Isatidis, Rhizoma Imperatae, Radix Puerariae, etc. . [Methods] Orthogonal test was applied for the screening of technology. Rat model of fever was induced by dried yeast and body temperature served as the screening index. [Results & Conclusion] The optimal process was as follow: (1) cleaning the herbs and smashing Gypsum Fibrosum into pieces and then soaking for one hour; (2) decocting the herbs with 10-fold water for one hour (Gypsum Fibrosum decocted first for one hour) ; (3) extracting the volatile oil, filtering and then concentrating the decoction; (4) evaporating again the volatile oil; (5) mixing the solutions and preparing as 1 kg/L oral liquid.
