How to cook Chinese medicine

Not any utensils can be used for decocting

Many people choose utensils to cook medicines for convenience. As everyone knows, copper pots, tin pots, aluminum pots are not suitable for boiling Chinese medicine. In fact, these vessels may react with various drug components during the heating process, affecting the efficacy of the drug. It is not unreasonable to use ceramic casseroles from ancient times to the present, because it is stable in nature, uniform in heat transfer, and can avoid chemical changes with drugs during decoction, and is the first choice for decoction drugs. Secondly, glass and enamelware are also available.

Avoid cleaning herbs before boiling

Many patients are used to cleaning herbs before decoction, which is not appropriate. For example, after washing herbs containing sugars and mites, these water-soluble pharmaceutical ingredients will be lost, resulting in reduced efficacy. However, the soaking process before boiling is necessary to make certain drug components easy to precipitate, thereby increasing the concentration of the boiling solution. Generally, the flowers, leaves, and stems are immersed for 30 minutes; roots, rhizomes, seeds, fruits, animal organs, and mineral-based drugs are soaked for 60 minutes, and the soaking time is appropriately extended in winter.

Different medicinal properties, different methods of boiling

How long the medicine is boiled depends on its medicinal properties. Decoction and remedy drugs, phlegm and cold medicine (the treatment of exogenous cold, wind and heat flu symptoms) should not be fried for a long time, so as to avoid the loss of effective ingredients, resulting in loss of efficacy, the use of fire (ie, fire) decoction. However, in the case of decoction, nourishing and conditioning, the drug should be first, then start to boil, and then reduce the firepower and slowly fry, so that the concentration of the fried liquid is high and the effect is lasting.

In general, the decoction head is boiled for 10-15 minutes and the second is fried for 10 minutes. Nourish head fried for 30-40 minutes, two fry for 25-30 minutes, first decoction must be fried for 10-30 minutes, after the medicine should be placed in the pot 5-10 minutes after zui.

Low decoction has low efficacy

Some experiments have shown that the single-flavored medicine and the compound * fried and the second fried accounted for 70-80% of the frying rate, while the third and fourth fried accounted for 20%-30% of the frying rate, so the Chinese medicine decoction Zui It is good to cook twice, but it is not recommended to cook too many times, because some active ingredients of the drug will decompose and hydrolyze after heating for a long time, and the effect will be destroyed at the same time of dissolution.
