Is the decoction machine suitable for decoction for the second time?

The brother above is too capable of spraying two words: Yes.

Decoction of Chinese medicine is an important part of the disease of traditional Chinese medicine. The correct method of decoction of Chinese medicine can quickly and effectively remove the symptoms, but if the decoction is not done well, the effect of the medicine will be weakened and may even harm the body's health. The decoction of Chinese medicine is also a very particular science, and the residue of decoction of Chinese medicine should be done in corresponding steps.

color

The fried bowl of Chinese medicine soup has a brown and black color, a turbid shape, and a bitter taste. Put it warm, and there is often a muddy sediment at the bottom of the bowl. Because the decoction pieces of medicinal herbs themselves have a certain color, and the liquid medicine is brownish-black after decoction of Chinese medicine, people think it is inevitable and rarely think about it.

taste

For its bitter taste, people have a golden and jade good saying as the basis for understanding, that is, "good medicine is bitter and good for disease", so the bitterness of medicine is not regarded as a bad thing, but there is a great state of mind of happiness in suffering.

shape

The turbidity of the liquid medicine is good or bad, and there are many people who are at a loss. As for the muddy sediment at the bottom of the bowl, whether to add some water to mix it or simply discard it is a practical problem to face, do not underestimate it, which is directly related to the efficacy of the drug.

In order to determine the appearance of the decoction of the herb at the bottom of the bowl. The mud-like sediment is to be served or discarded, and now the situation that can occur when Coptis chinensis and licorice are decocted together is given a general introduction, and the right choice may be made.

Modern scientific research has shown that the main active ingredient of Coptis chinensis is berberine and other alkaloids, and the main active ingredient of licorice is glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid and other acidic components.

These two types of ingredients have greater solubility in water, so they can be dissolved from Chinese herbal decoction pieces when boiling with water.

When the two medicines are decocted together, berberine and glycyrrhizic acid in the water may meet in the water to form a salt or complex with less solubility in the water, which is suspended in the decoction with fine granular solids to make the decoction cloudy, and if the decoction is placed, it may precipitate to the bottom of the bowl and form a muddy paste.

Some people have done experiments, Coptis chinensis and licorice are decocted together with water, if the amount of licorice is large, the resulting decoction is placed to be clear, then the supernatant can achieve no bitterness, but the antibacterial effect is greatly reduced.

This indicates that berberine, which has an antibacterial effect and has a very bitter taste, is precipitated to the bottom of the bowl, that is, in a puree-like substance.

It can be seen that if the prescription containing Coptis chinensis and licorice is decocted together, the resulting decoction will be placed in a bowl, and the muddy paste obtained at the bottom of the bowl will obviously affect the efficacy of the medicine if it is discarded.

The correct way is to add some water to the muddy sediment and stir it to finish the turbid liquid.

According to the special process requirements of the traditional ancient method of tung mill with decoction, it is necessary to add water and decoction after one decoction.

However, generally speaking, when the automatic decoction monomer machine is working, it will only fill the water before the medicinal materials are put into the pot, and no water will be added during the period, so it is difficult to achieve the requirements of the traditional ancient decoction of one decoction and two decoctions, but the intelligent decoction system of traditional Chinese medicine can do it.

When the intelligent decoction system is working, the software is used to automatically retrieve the special requirements entered by a certain recipe during the review, and then the decoction pot is transported to the special decoction station to complete the personalized decoction.

Personalized decoction plans include:

First frying: Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.

1. Frying: Bring to a boil and fry for 30 minutes.

Bottom: Put in 10 minutes before the end of a frying.

2nd frying: Bring to a boil and fry for 20 minutes.

This is also in line with the state's decoction requirements for the decoction room bureau.

Information**.

Soak the herbs in water for 15-20 minutes. If the Chinese medicine contains seeds and fruits, it can be soaked for about 1 hour. Water should be more than 2, 5 cm of Chinese medicine.

When the water is not boiling, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer slowly and keep it slightly boiling.

After boiling on a low heat for about 20 minutes, if there is still a lot of medicinal soup, then continue to boil on low heat, but don't boil the medicinal soup away, it is boiled dry, then you can only pour it out and boil it again.

Add water to the position on the herb for the second time, and boil for another 25 minutes after boiling. Boiling medicine is not always better. In traditional Chinese medicine, if there is a small package of medicine with "boil first", boil it for 30 minutes first, and then add group medicine.

Both methods are flawed.

There are two ways to improve:

The first is suitable for taking the medicine to a place where it is inconvenient to decoction: after the first time, the medicine is poured, and the medicine is poured out after decoction. Immediately decoction for the second time, after the last 5 minutes, pour out and mix well with the first decoction.

Don't return the medicine jar again, drink it once, seal the remaining half, and take it after heating it in a water bath next time.

Second, it is suitable for home medicine: use a gauze bag. Put the medicine in a gauze bag, tie the string and leave a section. The first time I fry it, I put it down, and I put the gauze bag out as soon as it's ready. When frying for the second time, then put down the gauze bag.

Many people are accustomed to taking Chinese medicine home to decoction by themselves, of course, you can also use automatic decoction machines in hospitals or pharmacies to decoction medicines. Today, let's talk about the precautions for decoction in winter, first of all, the temperature is low in winter, and the soaking time of traditional Chinese medicine is better than in summer.

The technique of decocting herbs is generally as follows: first soak the herbs in cold water for a while. Leaves and flowers need to be soaked for about an hour; Roots and fruits are generally soaked for more than two hours.

Traditional Chinese medicine soaking should also consider seasonal factors, such as the summer soaking time is relatively shorter, and the traditional Chinese medicine must be soaked for a longer time when the weather is cold, the general principle is that the higher the room temperature, the shorter the soaking time.

Experts reminded that decoction pays attention to decoction first, then decoction, another decoction and other "decoction" is the medicine that needs to be decocted in advance, and other drugs should be added after decoction alone.

"Later" refers to the fact that some drugs have a shorter decoction time than other drugs, such as peppermint is an aromatic volatile drug, and the decoction time will be volatile and affect the efficacy.

"Another decoction" means that some medicines need to be decocted separately and then mixed with the medicinal soup to be served.

At home, you must take a doctor's prescription for decoction, and take it according to the decoction method indicated on the prescription.

According to the doctor's instructions, Migu decoction pot has one decoction and two decoctions, which can meet your needs.
