Chapter 500 A common sense (for subscription)
Although some aluminum products and enamelware are also available, the best containers for boiling Chinese medicine are actually casserole pots and ceramic crocks.

The chemical properties of ceramics are relatively stable, so even in the complex chemical reaction of boiling Chinese medicine, it still will not "interfere" with the process of synthesis and decomposition of Chinese medicine, affecting the efficacy of the medicine.

However, although the iron pot container can provide a certain amount of iron ions to the body in the daily process of making food, it is also very easy to react with the tannins and glycosides contained in traditional Chinese medicine during the decoction process. Cause the curative effect of medicine to reduce or fail, even play certain opposite effect.

"Why is it so complicated to hear what the anchor said?"

"Yeah, I'm starting to get confused..."

"Traditional Chinese medicine seems to be becoming more and more popular now. A decade ago, not many people drank traditional Chinese medicine."

"I think Chinese medicine is still very powerful, and more and more people recognize Chinese medicine now, and foreign countries have begun to know our Chinese medicine."

"That must be, Chinese medicine is very miraculous!"

Li Yuan: "Chinese medicine does have many effects that cannot be replaced by western medicine, especially in terms of conditioning and health care, it has unique curative effects."

"However, some old people are fine. They have been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine a lot, so they also have some basic experience. As for the young people... I am afraid that they hardly know how to endure the important things."

Studio.

"It's true. Young people nowadays generally take western medicine when they get sick, and rarely take traditional Chinese medicine."

"Well, my mother and friends around me often take Chinese medicine."

"Traditional Chinese medicine is generally for conditioning, and young people generally don't need it?"

"So, it's normal for young people not to know how to make medicine."

"That's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"You guys forgot one person... The anchor knows a lot about traditional Chinese medicine!"

Li Yuan: "Actually, this is also normal. Traditional Chinese medicine itself is relatively complicated, regardless of the type and dosage of the medicine, they are all very particular."

"Besides, there are large and small packages of Chinese herbal medicines. For those who don't understand the pharmacology of Chinese medicine, it is very troublesome to decoct them."

"However, as long as you master the correct decoction method, it will actually be much easier. If you are decocting medicine, you must soak it in cold water for half an hour after putting it into the pot, so that the active ingredients of the herbal medicine can be decocted more easily."

"And we should pay attention to the amount of water released by herbs. The amount of water released by different herbs is also very different."

"For example, less water should be added to the medicine for treating edema, and less water should be added to the decoction for children. More herbal medicine for sweating can be added. And when the herbal medicine decoction is added, it is best to add enough water at once, and do not add cold water in the middle. "

"Put cold water in a pot is the most basic common sense to know when frying herbs. Boiling water will denature the protein on the surface of the medicine and affect the precipitation of active ingredients in the herb."

"Besides, when decocting Chinese herbal medicines, in order to allow the medicines to be decocted thoroughly, it is best to cover them. Especially some Chinese herbal medicines containing volatile components, such as mint, perilla leaves, Huoxiang, Peilan, etc., should be covered well, and Fry it in a short time to reduce the volatilization of active ingredients."

"Especially those expensive medicines, such as ginseng, deer antler, and ganoderma, must be covered, and the slow fire must be covered, and the heat must be controlled."

"Generally, when cooking herbs, use rapid fire before the herbs are boiled, and use slow fire after boiling."

"As for medicines like this that relieve sweating and sweating, you can boil them for 5 minutes on high heat. For more tonic medicines such as rehmannia glutinosa and cornus, you need to fry them with a slow fire, and then boil them for about 20 minutes."

"There are also some fluffy medicines and powders that should be made into cloth and wrapped in a pot when boiling, so as to reduce the irritation of the fluff to the throat."

Studio.

"Too much trouble……"

"Damn, this is too troublesome!"

"Anchor, how do you remember so many things?"

"I'm already confused."

"If you want me to say, just drink the ready-made one directly, so as to save yourself from making something wrong and affecting the efficacy of the medicine."

"Yeah, the bags of soup and medicine in the hospital are also very convenient!"

"That's right, usually put it in the refrigerator, take out a bag when you drink it, and heat it with boiling water."

Li Yuan: "Prepared decoctions really save energy, but not all herbs need to be taken hot!"

"There is particular attention to boiling Chinese medicine, as well as the method of taking it. Chinese herbal medicine has the saying of 'cold service' and 'hot service', and there is also a certain amount of attention to the time of taking the medicine."

"It is generally suitable to be taken warmly, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, which is for the purpose of sweating."

"The anti-cold medicine should also be taken hot. For example, those detoxification, cough-relieving, and heat-clearing medicines are just the opposite. Instead, they should be taken cold."

Studio.

"Hot clothes, cold clothes, long time, short time...too troublesome!"

"Hearing dizzy."

"How does the anchor remember so many things?"

"The anchor's brain can no longer be measured by normal people..."

"Sure enough, it's better to listen to the doctor, the most important thing is simplicity!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Everyone, don't feel troublesome. Chinese medicine works so well. In fact, the big reason is that both the way of taking it and the way of doing it are extremely rigorous."

"It is precisely because of this that Chinese medicine has such an irreplaceable and irreproducible effect. Therefore, even if it is a little troublesome, it is very cost-effective to be able to play a role."

In fact, the things that Chinese medicine needs to pay attention to are far more than what Li Yuan just said, and there are many other things to pay attention to. "

Drugs such as tonics are suitable to be taken warmly on an empty stomach, which is easy to digest and absorb, but the amount should not be too much.

Soothing decoctions should be taken half an hour before going to bed, which can strengthen the effect of the medicine.

Patients with weak spleen and stomach are more important to take after meals, especially some drugs that are more irritating to the gastrointestinal tract should be taken after meals.

Herbal medicines for diarrhea must be taken on an empty stomach, and are not suitable for taking at night. After the stool is smooth, the medicine should be stopped immediately.

Diabetics are more suitable to take when thirsty, without time limit.

There are also insect repellents in traditional Chinese medicine, which are suitable for taking in the morning and evening on an empty stomach, which is more conducive to insect repellence.

Oral and throat patients are suitable for containing medicine, so that the local effect of the medicine can be fully exerted.

If there is also vomiting, it is advisable to drink a small amount of medicine several times to reduce the burden on the stomach, or take a little ginger juice first to reduce adverse reactions and relieve vomiting.

There are also some special groups of people, such as children and infirm patients, the dosage should be less.Women should be more cautious when taking medicine during pregnancy.Moreover, it is not suitable to take Chinese medicines with tea, milk, or milk, because tea, milk, and milk can easily react with certain medicines and reduce the efficacy of the medicines.
