How to decoct Chinese medicine? Many people will ask me this question, so I will answer it as follows. Most of the views are combined with personal clinical experience. 1, generally one post per day, first soak in cold water for 40 minutes, there is no need to soak more. The cold medicine soaking time is controlled at about 30 minutes. The reason for this is not detailed:) anything is too much, have their own laws. There is a question, how many milliliters of cold water to add? This really can’t be quantified because of how much medicine, water absorption is strong or weak, the key is determined by the amount of juice left over from the decoction according to the following steps, generally water over the Chinese medicine is about the same. 2. First boil it on high heat, then boil it on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, and take one bowl (about 200 ml) for adults, decreasing for children according to their age, and controlling 50-100 ml for infants. For cold medicine, 20 minutes is enough. Not that the longer the decoction time the better the medicine? This is what you think, is the cooking time of the dish is also the better? 3, a packet of medicine is usually decocted twice a day, each time the amount as described above, divided into two doses. 4, decoction with a casserole, stainless steel pot, enamel pot can be, but do not use iron frying pan. 5, each time the water as long as the submerged Chinese medicine slightly surplus can be, the specific amount or the heart decoction, according to the pouring liquid to decide the next add water. 6.It is stated that the medicine that is decocted first can be decocted for 10-15 minutes before putting the rest of the medicine together. If you are really strict, you should use another container to soak the rest of the herbs, and if you simplify it, just put the first decoction on the bottom of the pot and forget it. Bottom of the pot? A hot pot! Decoction is actually similar to cooking. If you want to add the rest of the herbs to the bottom of the pot, you should use another container to soak the rest of the herbs, and then add them for 5 minutes. The second decoction is the first and last question? Never thought about it? If you have thought about it, it means you have paid attention. I tell you, the second decoction do not care about these problems. 7, Chinese medicine is generally taken half an hour after meals, the taste of bitter, just boil a little bit of minions, drink coffee and many people do not add sugar to it. Lastly, I would like to remind you that your mood is very important, and you should be in a good state of mind when decocting your medicine and even better when taking it. The actual fact that you have chosen herbal treatment to restore the balance of yin and yang in your body, painful to take medicine is taking medicine, happy to take medicine is also taking medicine, it is better to choose happy to face, not to mention the mood will also affect the effectiveness of the medicine.
