Decoction of Chinese medicine is required to cover the pot to avoid the volatilization of active ingredients, affecting the efficacy.
Decoction of Chinese medicine should first be soaked, soaked medicine should be decocted, first boiled over high heat, and then slowly decocted over low heat, and then can be poured out to take.
The process of decocting Chinese medicine needs to be covered with a lid, which can make the medicine boil in a shorter period of time; Chinese medicine treats diseases, in which the four qi and five flavors play a role in treating diseases. If you don’t cover the pot, the flavor of the medicine will evaporate, which will affect the efficacy of the medicine. For example, mint has a certain volatility, so if you don’t cover the pot, the active ingredients will evaporate, which will ultimately affect the therapeutic effect.
It is recommended that patients who need to take Chinese medicine go to the hospital in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions, consult a professional doctor about the decoction of the drug, do not blindly take the drug on their own, so as not to delay the condition.
