Is the effect of powdering Chinese herbs the same as decoction into soup?

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a valuable cultural heritage of ancient China, and it is the experience accumulated by the Chinese people through continuous and rich practice. The decoction is one of the traditional ways of traditional Chinese medicine, and the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine recorded in various Chinese medicine classics are based on the decoction made by boiling, and the proportion and quantity of the compatibility of various drugs in it are also groped out on the basis of boiling decoction.

Medicinal herb. In the process of boiling at high temperature for dozens of minutes of traditional Chinese medicine, the very complex chemical components in various medicinal materials will produce chemical reactions, and the ingredients in the final boiled decoction will not be completely consistent with the original ingredients. Therefore, if it is taken as a herbal medicine, it may change the active ingredient of the drug, and it may not produce the desired effect.

Some toxic and harmful Chinese herbal ingredients can be weakened or even become non-toxic through reaction, and these poisons cannot change their properties without the boiling process.

Medicinal herb. Another point is that there are a lot of Chinese herbal medicines such as ores and animal bones, etc., and only a small amount of the ingredients in them can be dissolved in water. Grinding all these things into powder and eating them into the body is not only useless, but may actually bring harm.

And there are a lot of toxic drugs in traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine believes that it is toxic and harmful to the human body, but it is effective in traditional Chinese medicine, maybe it is only a little precipitated when decoction, but if it is ground into powder and taken all, it may be difficult for the human body to bear.

Another point is that all the ingredients of the drug entering the human body may exceed the dose of the decoction, which is three points of poison, and it is harmful if the dose is exceeded.

Medicinal herb. For these reasons, it is safer to take Chinese medicine in the form of a decoction, and perhaps the residue after decoction should be thrown away. Of course, the torment of Chinese herbs is very troublesome, and it has a very unpleasant smell in the air, and it is very painful to drink.

There is now a new type of automatic system for making herbal medicines, which can convert Chinese herbal medicines into powders.

It is to purify various Chinese herbs in the factory to make APIs, and after the doctor prescribes, the hospital or pharmacy will take out each API according to the dosage and add it to a reaction kettle, and mix these drugs at high temperature to make a granule. When you get home, you only need to boil it with boiling water and drink it like a Chinese patent medicine. On the one hand, it maintains the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and simulates the processing process of decoction, and on the other hand, it can be easily drunk like the powder of Chinese patent medicine, which our hospital here has been equipped.

The effect is the same, because the medicine can give full play to the medicinal properties, and it will not affect the effect as it is convenient.

The effect of beating Chinese herbs into powder, and Chinese herbal medicine directly boiling medicinal soup and drinking, the effect is not the same, the effect should be more violent, the effect will be more significant, but it should not be absorbed.

Most of them are the same, but there is a difference between powdering and taking it directly, taking decoction belongs to administering it to cooked, and some medicines can only exert their effect after decoction.

Generally speaking, decoction is a traditional ** method of traditional Chinese medicine, many prescriptions recorded in medical technology are made by boiling, if it is powdered and the boiling step is mentioned, although the operation is relatively simple and easy to carry, the effect produced by the Chinese medicine may change, when boiling the Chinese medicine, the ingredients in the decoction may not be exactly the same before and after boiling, and the amount of each Chinese medicine is good, if it is directly powdered, the active ingredients may be different, and the final effect may not be very good, to put it simply, After the Chinese medicine became a fan, there was still nothing in the original content, but after boiling it to the decoction, it was possible that new ingredients would be created in it.

Therefore, generally speaking, it may be safer to boil it to the decoction, after drinking the decoction, it is common to discard the remaining residues of the Chinese medicine, if it is all powdered before this, it may not actually be taken some ingredients, however, it cannot be generalized, the specific method of taking the Chinese medicine should be comprehensively judged according to the disease, the type of Chinese medicine and some conditions of the patient, moreover, it is not that the effect of the two methods is different, but it can be explained which method is inferior, about the consumption of Chinese medicine, how to eat, When and for how long to eat must be done reasonably under the guidance of a physician and should not be adjusted without permission.

If you adjust the medication plan yourself, you may not have symptoms, it may prolong the course of the disease and prolong the recovery time of the body, as for the time to eat for a long time, it will vary from person to person, each person's physique is different, and the severity of the disease is also different, in addition, it is also related to whether each patient takes Chinese medicine correctly, for example, if you think that Chinese medicine is too bitter, you can only drink half of it each time, which may affect the efficacy of the medicine, diet Chinese medicine pay attention to the ** process, under normal circumstances, three courses of treatment will be effective, If the Chinese medicine method is more effective, we should also remind everyone not to be impatient, and the effect of taking Chinese medicine conditioning is not immediate. During the period of taking the drug, attention should also be paid to a reasonable diet.

If you are healthy and not sick, there is actually no need to take Chinese medicine to stay healthy, if you blindly follow the trend, it may bring some health risks, and do bad things with good intentions, especially to remind middle-aged and elderly friends to have a correct understanding of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is also a drug, taken under the guidance of a doctor, the ingredients may change, so it is easy to affect the efficacy of the drug, it is difficult to say which is better, its specific effect should be analyzed according to factors such as disease and time of disease, however, no matter which method is used, When taking Chinese medicine, you must follow the doctor's advice, and it is recommended not to adjust it at will.

The effect of grinding into powder should be better, because boiling into soup and drinking, there are many residues in traditional Chinese medicine, which cannot be fully utilized.

I think it is boiled into soup and drunk, because it is easier for my stomach to absorb, and the effect of Chinese medicine is naturally better.

Chinese medicine is ground into powder, as long as it is better than making soup and drinking, the effect is definitely better, but if you start to grind Chinese medicine into powder and eat, it means that the condition is already very serious.

I think it should be boiled into soup that the effect is more obvious, because it is easier to be absorbed by the body after boiling into soup.

It can't be baked to change the medicinal properties of the crude drug - just crushing it is not that thing.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a kind of unique to China to have a special effect on the human body of some diseases, plants, organisms, or other rock materials, its treatment principle is complex, the medicinal materials between each other, complement each other, endless changes, however, since ancient Chinese medicine pharmaceutical methods, taking methods, but highly unified, most of them are sun-dried medicine, boiled water to take.

Nowadays, many traditional Chinese medicines choose to soak in powder and water, which is a way to upgrade the utilization efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine, but there are also many people who oppose it. Take a chestnut: the ancients believed that ginseng was only precious if it was complete, and it was worthless when it was powdered.

1. It's convenient, you don't need to boil it for so long, just flush it with hot water, it's good to drink it, how can there be so much trouble.

2. Eat all the powdered drugs, retain all the efficacy, and because they are powdered, it is more conducive to absorption.

Advantages of boiling water to drink:

1. After the medicine is boiled, that is, refined, the concentration is relatively high, dissolved in water, and quickly absorbed.

2. Ancient prescriptions are like this, this is a summary of long-term experience, and there are many scientific unknown things in medicinal materials.

It's just one way that Chinese medicine works, and how exactly does Chinese medicine work? As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the principle of TCM treatment is complex, and drugs are not the core means of TCM treatment.

The change of traditional Chinese medicine from torment to powdering, although it is small, but the change of the internal movement of the human body is complex, but this complex change will change through the body's own adjustment, and the human body will eventually adapt to this change, although the Chinese medicine contains inexplicable things, the human body will change through itself, adapt, and finally absorb these things, but whether this change is meaningful or not is a question that urgently needs to be explained.

But, in any case, medicine is just a material, and the best means is always exercise, that is, by stimulating one's own ability, the drug is used as a combination, and there is no problem with the phenomenon of Chinese medicine powdering.

No. The function of traditional Chinese medicine is based on the combination of four qi and five flavors.

The reaction in the decoction process is not only a chemical reaction, but also the up-and-down reaction composed of the combination and differentiation of the four gases and five flavors is not something that can be clearly explained in the laboratory.

The powdered or extracted herbs are based on the biological composition theory. Some of these things may be more effective. But this is no longer the domain of Chinese medicine.

It's a biological category. Therefore, Tu Youyou's artemisinin belongs to the Chinese and Western regions, and has been controversial for so many years. But that's actually the knowledge of biology.

It really has little to do with Chinese medicine.

The definition of TCM is a unique physiological and pathological concept of TCM formed based on the theory of TCM. It should not be confused with physiology and pathology combined with the molecular, cellular, histochemical and other disciplines of Western medicine.

This can also be asserted that there is no such thing as a true integrative medicine.

The guiding theories are all different, and there can be no real integration or development. At present, the so-called integration of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is only a mutual reference or a Westernization of traditional Chinese medicine under the banner of science. Many people may not be happy to hear such an explanation.

Although it is only a one-person opinion) but looking at the issue regardless of ideology, it will really be so.

Finally, the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine may only be a scientific analysis, combination and so-called invention of many stakeholders to analyze, transform, and combine the composition theory of Chinese herbal medicine. There's really no need to be tied to traditional Chinese medicine. After all, in the continuous exploration and discovery, Chinese medicine will have a better development.

Although it is no longer traditional Chinese medicine. But as long as it's meaningful to human health, why not?

Well, by extension, the goal of the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is to learn from Chinese and Western medicine, complement each other, develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, and contribute to human health. This goal and policy are absolutely correct. But what came out was really not the planned integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Whatever. Even if it grows into another kind of medicine that is neither Chinese nor Western, as long as it can make a difference to human health. It should also be enjoyable.

Isn't it?

The traditional Chinese medicine is made into powder, brewing and boiling has the same effect, because the traditional Chinese medicine powder made now is the traditional Chinese medicine granules after purification and processing, which retains the essence of the traditional Chinese medicine.

No. The properties of traditional Chinese medicine are different, and the effects are different, so the effect of powder brewing and boiling is different.

I don't think it has the same effect, because many Chinese herbs are boiled as they are, and it is easier to volatilize some of their medicinal properties.

Discussing whether boiling or soaking is effective, as if you are tired and tired now, and you will get good retribution in the next life, it is just a kind of comfort, if you indulge in it, you can only say that you are not sick, but you are mentally unhealthy, your mind is low, and there is nothing else.

Different Chinese medicines have different usages, and as long as the method is done properly, the effect of the medicine will be better. Figuratively speaking, deer horn glue and turtle glue need to be boiled!

No way! It's just a way to raise the price of medicines. Unless it is a unique formula with a powder, and this is precisely the prescription that has been proven to have a unique effect after decades or even hundreds of years of repeated use

That is, the secret ingredient. Even so, the secret recipe must have a unique preparation method, and the core ingredient is the soul in it. It's just that it won't be passed down easily, there is an ancient saying:

The daughter does not sell the way, and there is a reason to give it away!

Powder, powder, pills just no water decoction effect to come fast but not more convenient, each has its own strengths, acute disease decoction, chronic disease powder also has the same effect, slow and fast not in that ten days and eight days of time!

Thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine, why is it so difficult to drink? Don't those ancestors who have been operating Chinese medicine all their lives still understand this matter? Just from the four qi and five flavors, only the decoction can be perfectly combined.

If you still ask such a stupid question, the effect of suffering will definitely be better. Serious illness is to drink decoction medicine, and the recovery period of the disease can be brewed powder medicine.

In the same way, Chinese medicine is not so magical, and there is no difference between decoction and decoction together with a decoction.

Some plant extracts, Chinese herbal powders, are not extracted from the human digestive system, and the medicinal properties are not obvious, and only by boiling can people absorb better.
