【安阳狗皮膏药】也叫姚家狗皮膏药。创制于明末清初，创始人姚本仁，原籍江西建昌府南城县，自幼钻研医术，早年远游行医。有一次他行至安阳时，将一家入棺送殡的少妇救活，被人们誉为"姚神仙"。明崇祯七年(1634)，封居安阳的赵简王闻其医术高明，招为赵府良医所医正。后来姚本仁辞离赵府，在少林寺与晓山禅师共同研制成主治跌打损伤的膏药。主要原料是麝香、乳香、没药、血竭、当归、木瓜等20多种精贵药材。姚本仁在黄河以南广为布施，一用辄验，颇有盛誉。清顺治元年(1644)，因姚本仁名震遐迩，被清政府赐太医院御前大夫。顺治五年(1648)，姚本仁归老于邺(今安阳)，居住在安阳市区鼓楼后街东头大槐树院内，开姚家膏药铺，铺名宗黄堂，铺前高悬"太医正传"巨匾，世代相传。膏药的配制方法严遵祖训传媳不传闺女，沿袭300多年。1949年后，姚家公开了膏药配方与制作方法。1956年姚家各门大都加入了公私合营安阳姚家长门宗黄堂膏药厂。1967年转为地方国营安阳市膏药厂。姚家狗皮膏药配方精良、质地细腻、色泽黑亮、软硬适度，疗效显著。1978年以来，安阳市膏药厂经过对姚家膏药配方科学分析，对药物进行精炼提纯，采用新工艺、新方法制成精治膏药，疗效与原狗皮膏药相同，颇受广大患者欢迎。远销东南亚、欧洲等13个国家和地区。
