What are the dietary issues to be noted when taking Chinese medicine in order to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine? 1, do not drink tea when taking Chinese medicine. Because tea contains tannic acid, taking it with Chinese medicine will affect the absorption of the active ingredients in Chinese medicine and reduce the efficacy.
