There is a difference between boiling a Chinese medicine three times and twice. The more times a Chinese medicine is boiled, the less the active ingredients will be analyzed, and the medicine will not achieve the desired effect.
The conventional procedure for boiling Chinese medicine is to decoct a pair of Chinese medicines twice, and the two medicinal liquids should be mixed well before taking them separately. After three times of decoction, the liquid will be diluted, and the efficacy of the drug will be discounted.
There are many medicines in Chinese medicine that need to be placed afterward such as sand nuts, cardamom, cinnamon, and so on. They are usually put in the first time of decoction. After three times of decoction of such drugs, the active ingredients of the drug have already been destroyed, and can not play the role of the role. Generally, it is not recommended to decoct Chinese medicines three times, please follow the normal method of decoction, or if there is a special method of decoction, please follow the doctor’s instructions.
If there is any discomfort, please consult a doctor promptly.
