Raw pangolin scales, dense and hard in texture, have a foul smell of animals, so they cannot be directly used as medicine, and must be processed. The processed pangolin scales are mainly divided into vinegar pangolin scales and artillery pangolin scales. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the fishy smell of processed pangolin is greatly weakened, and the texture becomes crisp, which is conducive to frying the effective ingredients.
