    Traditional Chinese medicine is generally boiled twice in order to make the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine completely boiled out, which can exert greater medicinal effect, but traditional Chinese medicine is not the more times you boil the better, and if you cook too many times, there will be no medicinal effect.

    Why should Chinese medicine be boiled twice.

    Because frying twice almost brings out the active chemical ingredients in the drug. When boiling Chinese medicine, solute refers to the active ingredient contained in the Chinese medicine decoction piece. When the active ingredient that can be precipitated in the decoction piece and the active ingredient in the water (solution) of the decoction reach saturation, the remaining active ingredient will no longer be precipitated.

    The purpose of boiling the second time is to boil out the active ingredients that were not completely boiled out for the first time in the decoction pieces again, and maximize the use of the active ingredients of the Chinese medicine decoction pieces for the prevention and prevention of diseases. This is the reason why Chinese medicine is boiled twice. However, the boiled Chinese medicine pays attention to the degree (concentration) of the active ingredient, so it is not that the more times you boil the better, and the Chinese medicine is generally boiled twice, at most three times.

    The best effect is to boil Chinese medicine several times.

    For general Chinese medicine, it is enough to boil twice, and the time of each boil is 20-30 minutes. If it is a more expensive traditional Chinese medicine, if the tonic effect is stronger, it can be boiled three times, and the time of decoction varies depending on the efficacy of the decoction piece, and the boiling time of the antidote must be shorter. If it is a tonic, it is recommended to boil for a longer time.

    Tips for boiling Chinese medicine.

    1. Soak the herbs.

    Soaking the herbs before boiling can dissolve the active ingredients in the herbs, and the efficacy will be better. If you don't soak enough, the medicine will not be easy to boil through. In summer, it is generally better to soak for 30 minutes.

    2. Add an appropriate amount of water.

    Put the Chinese medicine in a casserole, add water, and soak the medicine surface or exceed 2 cm. It is best to use cold boiled water to boil Chinese medicine, because tap water contains chlorine, which will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

    3. Be particular about using fire.

    When boiling traditional Chinese medicine, first boil it over high heat, and then change to low heat to boil, and keep it in a slightly boiling state, which is conducive to the dissolution of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, and the decoction will not be boiled dry.

    What not to eat after drinking Chinese medicine.

    1. Don't drink strong tea.

    2. Do not eat radish.

    Because radish has the effect of eliminating food and breaking qi, especially when taking tonic Chinese medicine, eating radish will reduce the effect of tonic medicine and make it lose its tonic effect and fail to achieve the best purpose.

    3. Don't eat chili peppers.

    Especially for fever-related diseases, it is not advisable to eat chili peppers when taking heat-clearing and cooling blood or anti-inflammatory drugs, which can reduce the efficacy of the medicine and make it ineffective or weakened.
