Abstract：Mulberry leaves are traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of processing.Since the Tang Dynasty when roasted mulberry leaves began to be used,various processing methods have been developed in the Song,Ming,and Qing Dynasties,including roasting,stir-frying,steaming,burning,baking and boiling,with auxiliary materials such as vine-gar,wine,salt,rice,honey,and sesame.Different processed products have different effects,but not many have been passed down to the present.Our understanding and inheritance of different processed products of mulberry leaves need to be strengthened.This article reviewed ancient books,editions of the pharmacopoeia,local processing standards,modern research literature,and the database of ancient traditional Chinese medicine books of iMedbooks to sort out and summarize the ancient and modern processing methods of mulberry leaves,in order to provide historical basis and practical reference for the subsequent processing research of mulberry leaves.
