How to grasp the concentration of medicine in boiling Chinese medicine?

Introduction: When people are not feeling well, they may go to see a Chinese medicine practitioner, and the Chinese medicine doctor will pick up some Chinese medicine for the patient, and at this time, the patient needs to go back to boil the Chinese medicine by himself, so how to grasp the concentration of the medicine when boiling the Chinese medicine? Let's find out.

In fact, the concentration of boiling Chinese medicine is grasped according to the time, not that the longer the medicine is boiled, the better, but there is a specified time, so when you buy medicine, the doctor will definitely tell you how long it takes to boil the medicine and follow the doctor's instructions.

Generally, it takes half an hour to boil the medicine, and the medicine is generally boiled in a casserole, so that the effect of the medicine will be better at this time. When boiling Chinese herbs, it is necessary to soak them in advance, because after soaking the Chinese herbs, it will be better when he boils, and if it is full of hard herbs, it will take a long time to boil. And the pot chosen when decocting the medicine must be a crockpot.

Because some casserole crockpots are evenly heated, and the heat conduction is relatively slow when boiling the medicine, and the effect of heat preservation is also very good. So it's better to choose some crockpots is a very good way. Moreover, when boiling medicine, there must be a certain amount of water to add water, which is an appropriate amount, and not to add too much or too little water, which will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

When you add a lot of water, there will be a large pot of medicine boiled out at this time, and the effect will be diluted. When you give very little water, the medicine is very strong, so people drink it more bitterly, and its effect is not good. And it is very important to pay attention to the control of a fire when boiling the medicine, because before boiling, it is necessary to use high heat to teach him to boil, and then warm it with low heat after boiling, so that the decoction can be completed in the future.

When boiling traditional Chinese medicine, you should choose a ceramic jar, and you need to soak the traditional Chinese medicine for about 20 minutes in advance, keep the temperature at 60, and stir continuously to grasp the concentration.

Pay attention to the temperature, time, pay attention to the ratio between Chinese medicine and water, and observe the heat, you can buy a professional Chinese medicine pot.

Generally, tile pottery is preferred, because of its stable nature, uniform heating, heat preservation, and cheap. At present, the stainless steel decoction utensils commonly used in families are chemically stable, fast heating, acid and alkali resistant, and can also be used for decoction of traditional Chinese medicine. Avoid using iron, copper and other metal utensils, because their chemical properties are extremely unstable, and it is easy for drug components to react, change drug properties or produce toxic substances.

Before decoction, there is a procedure to soak the Chinese medicine for 20 to 30 minutes, so that the medicine can fully absorb the water, so that the decoction liquid can be more effective. It should be reminded that the water for soaking medicinal materials is best cold water, and soaking in hot water above 60 will coagulate the proteins in the tissue cells of the medicinal materials and gelatinize the starch.

In order to make Chinese medicine well, it is necessary to understand the principle of Chinese medicine for treatment. The treatment of diseases with traditional Chinese medicine depends on the bias of traditional Chinese medicine, the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine, the four qi and five flavors, which can also be referred to as smell. The prescriptions prescribed by TCM for the treatment of patients will be treated according to the different conditions of the patients, and different treatment methods will be adopted: warm, cleansing, tonifying, eliminating, slippery, astringent, dry, and practical.

The decoction time should be determined according to the medicinal properties, and the general medicine is 30 minutes. Antidotes, heat-clearing drugs, and aromatic drugs should not be decocted for a long time, and decoction should be carried out for 15-20 minutes after boiling. After the tonic is first boiled over a fire, then it is slowly fried for 40-60 minutes.

When decocting the herb, stir the ingredients 2-3 times. Each dose of Chinese medicine is generally decocted twice, and the second decoction time can be slightly shorter.

To decoction of medicinal water, just use the tap water in our lives. First of all, listen to what the Chinese medicine prescribes to you, according to the method told by the doctor, put the Chinese medicine into the casserole, if there are particles and fine or powder in the Chinese medicine, wrap it in an abrasive cloth, then you can distinguish clearly, if there is a need for the medicine, do not put it in the casserole.

In addition, Chinese herbal medicines usually need to be processed in the production process, including a series of procedures such as cleaning to remove impurities and drying, so there is no need to wash again. Moreover, after a long period of high-temperature decoction, the Chinese herbal medicine has been very hygienic, a little precipitation, remove the residue, you can take it with confidence.

When boiling Chinese medicine, it should be boiled twice, and then after boiling, it should be put in two small bowls, so that you can grasp the concentration, and it should have a very good proportion. The ratio of Chinese medicine to water is best 1:3.

You still have to consult a doctor about this, and some traditional Chinese medicines need to be concentrated in a higher concentration, which basically has a fixed time.

When the Chinese medicine is boiled yellow and black, this color means that the concentration of the Chinese medicine is already very strong, and all the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine have been fused together.

When the decoction piece itself is balanced with the concentration of the active ingredient in the liquid, this diffusion movement has stopped, and the decoction of the medicine is just right.
