Herbal medicine with healing effects and recyclable biomaterials are research aspects that Yiyuan Bai has researched. She creates bio-products such as gloves and packages derived from aromatic herbs – Pogostemon Cablin and Herba Eupatorii – aquafaba (liquid from cooked beans), seaweed, flour, etc. The anti-fungal characteristics of herbal medicines and the herbal biomaterials she made can soothe Tinea Manuum, which is a dermatophyte infection of one or both hands.

The prescription of Tinea Manuum can be combined with the application of Pogostemon Cablin and Herba Eupatoriican, which have the effects of sedation by touching, and healing effects of easing anxiety by smelling. Mixed with warm water they have anti-bacterial effects. By applying the properties of Chinese herbal medicine itself and through continuous experiments, Bai transformed it from flat to three-dimensional and made it into biomaterials, which are biodegradable, can be recycled, have healing effects, and can be applied to the skin surface.

The thin and smooth material makes people feel comfortable. The material can be made into wearable accessories, such as gloves that can be removed from fingers and palms, so that people can choose what to wear by the part of the skin.
