    No. It's okay to fry it in a purple casserole. The decoction of Chinese medicine is very particular.

    Soaking before decoction: the first decoction (one decoction) is generally soaked for 30 minutes, and the drugs mainly seeds and fruits can be soaked for one hour; When decoction (second decoction) again, do not soak again. The amount of water added to the first decoction exceeds the drug by 2-5 cm, and the second decoction can be added with water to submerge the drug.

    Number of decoctions: Generally decoction twice. One long frying is not a substitute for two split frying.

    Decoction heat: Generally, use high heat (martial fire) before boiling, and keep it slightly boiling with low heat (simmer) after boiling. For anti-episodic and aromatic drugs, it is advisable to fry them over high heat to avoid volatilization of medicinal properties and reduced efficacy; For tonic medicine, it is advisable to fry it on low heat for a long time to make the active ingredients of the medicine exhausted.

    Decoction time: general medicine, the first decoction should be boiled and then fried over low heat for 20-25 minutes, and then fried over low heat for 15-20 minutes after the second decoction; 10-15 minutes for one decoction and 10 minutes for two decoctions; The first decoction of the tonic is 30-40 minutes, and the second decoction is 25-30 minutes. The longer the decoction is not always better.

    Special decoction: The small packet of medicine filled with "decoction first" in the medicine bag is decocted for 30 minutes before adding group medicine; The small packet of medicine injected with "back down" should be put into the decoction 5---10 minutes before the group medicine is decocted; A small packet of medicine with "Bao decoction" is wrapped with gauze and put into the medicine group to fry together; A small packet of medicine filled with "Xuanhua" is taken after decoction and dissolution with the decoction of the decoction liquid and the "Xuanhua" medicine; A small packet of medicine with "Wash" is used to take it with a decoction.
