The storage time of boiled Chinese medicine at room temperature is related to the type of packaging of Chinese medicine, the ambient temperature and the composition of Chinese medicine. If boiled herbal medicine is stored in an airtight vacuum bag, the shelf life of herbal medicine usually does not exceed one week during the season of higher temperature when the room temperature is higher than 25°C. If in the refrigerator, the preservation time is relatively longer, up to 1 month. If the Chinese medicine is held in a container provided by the patient himself, it is best to decoct it without seeing the air. If you want to continue taking it every other day, it is recommended to put it in the refrigerator’s freezer and it should be kept for no more than 3 days. If the herbal ingredients contain more substances such as centipedes and scorpions, or have relatively high starch and sugar content, they are more prone to deterioration. It is recommended to keep the boiled Chinese medicine in a cool and ventilated place and avoid direct sunlight to prolong the storage time of the Chinese medicine so as not to affect the therapeutic effect.
