1. There are two main points in decocting Chinese medicine (1) the amount of water added; (2) decoction time. The amount of water is generally submerged in more than 1 knuckle (except for leafy or bud-shaped drugs that float on the water surface because of their light quality), and the decoction time is generally boiled in a large fire and slowly simmered in a small fire, and then decocted for about half an hour to 40 minutes; the juice is poured out and then decocted for the second time with water for about 30 minutes, and then the slag is removed and the first and second juices are combined together to make a thick decoction of 500ml. Generally the prescription requires the first decoction to be decocted for 2 hours in advance (the first decoction and long decoction of minerals is generally to fully decoct the active ingredients to improve the efficacy; the first decoction of poisonous drugs is to reduce toxicity and irritation to the gastrointestinal tract), and then decocted together with other drugs, while the later decoction can be put in 10 minutes before the end of the second decoction. The drugs for package decoction need to be put into the cloth bag for decoction. 2.How to take purely pro-righteous Chinese medicine can be taken on an empty stomach; anti-tumor drugs are generally taken in two to three times, half an hour to one hour after meals (taking drugs after meals can avoid direct damage to the stomach and intestines due to the protection of food in the stomach, especially detoxifying and dispersing drugs that dispel evil).
