The most important one is to boil the fire and time needed for Chinese medicine, which has a special attention, if you do not pay attention to the effect of the medicine. Specific simmering Chinese medicine notes are as follows: First: the choice of utensils in the simmering of Chinese medicine, it is best to choose the pot, which is what we usually say casserole, these casseroles are made of ceramics, the most able to make the efficacy of Chinese medicine to play the maximum. In addition, stainless steel is also a good choice of material, will not rust at the same time on the market is also more common.

If the need to boil the herbs belong to small particles, such as psyllium and cassia seeds of this type, in the process of cleaning must pay attention to the protection, never be able to be washed away. Third: the amount of water is important to use water to boil, so the amount of water needs to be specially selected. Many people say that when boiling herbs will be three bowls of water decocted into a bowl of water can be, this statement is really correct? In fact, this method is not scientific, because first of all the size of the bowl in each family would not be the same size. In the boiling of Chinese medicine, add the water must be able to submerge the herbs water surface two to three centimeters, you can also use your hand to hold down the herbs, just to be able to diffuse over the back of the hand on it. Which also need special attention, some of the herbs of the water absorption is relatively large, especially flowers and herbs, these then soak in water for half an hour after the water level will fall, this time must continue to increase some, and then start boiling Chinese medicine.

However, if the decoction is some of the drugs that have the effect of treating exopathogens, then the water should be boiled and then continue to high heat, simmering for about fifteen minutes. Fifth: the time to boil Chinese medicine boil Chinese medicine notes, the time needed is a lot of people are concerned about a problem. Generally, the water is made to boil on high heat and then the decoction is carried out on low heat. If it is a general Chinese medicine, then the process of the first decoction should be controlled at about twenty to twenty-five minutes, the second decoction should be controlled at about fifteen to twenty minutes. If the boiled Chinese medicine decoction out of the medicinal effects of the antidote class, the first decoction time should be reduced, control in ten to fifteen minutes, the second ten minutes or so can be. If it is important to nourish the class, then the decoction time should be increased moderately, the first time to control in half an hour to forty minutes, while the second time is to control in twenty-five minutes to half an hour or so. Sixth: the second boiled Chinese medicine precautions Chinese medicine is not decocted once can be, general Chinese medicine are required to be decocted twice, if it is nourishing class of Chinese medicine then the number of times of decoction needs to be increased, for example, about three times can be. If some doctors prescribe a large amount of medication, it is best to decoct about three times, so as to be able to better seep out of the medicinal effect. It is recommended that patients mix the liquid from the two decoctions and divide it into two doses, and if the herbs have been decocted three times, then so on. After taking this way, the medicinal effect is more balanced, to avoid letting the body appear unadaptable.
