What is the difference between Chinese medicine granules and decoctions?

There is a difference between Chinese medicine granules and decoction, some time ago, because I was not feeling well, I asked the doctor to prescribe that the Chinese medicine granules can be drunk twice a day with hot water, if the decoction is used, it is not convenient to take it, and then you have to use the decoction cooked with Chinese medicine to drink, and it is quite inconvenient to drink. The words of traditional Chinese medicine granules are to ** as long as there is hot water can be washed? But the decoction can't, the decoction has to be heated with a gas canister.

Traditional Chinese medicine granules are made into granules by the equipment after the hospital quickly boils the Chinese herbal medicines through the equipment, which is made into granules for the finished medicine, and is directly brewed with boiling water for drinking.

The decoction is a liquid that you boil yourself and filter through a strainer to drink directly.

There is not much difference in medicinal properties, only the boiling time is different.

Traditional Chinese medicine granules are finished medicines made by hospitals through their own technology, and they can be drunk by brewing them with boiling water. The decoction is also a traditional Chinese medicine. But it needs to be boiled over fire. It's a bit time-consuming. In fact, the essence is no different.

Comparatively speaking, the decoction may be more effective. However, the granules are easy to carry and flexible in taking time.

Traditional Chinese medicine granules are made into granules through modern production technology, through extraction and concentration and other steps, and the formula is prepared according to the doctor's prescription, which is easy to take and carry. The decoction is a traditional herb that everyone is familiar with, and you need to decoction yourself. Nowadays, the pace of life is fast, and more and more people choose this modern dosage form of traditional Chinese medicine.

Nongbenfang's granules have a good reputation, and it is an old brand in Hong Kong, whether it is the selection of medicinal materials or the production process, it is very standardized and strict, and the quality effect is excellent.

Hello dear! In fact, there may be some differences in the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine granules and Chinese herbal decoctions, because the preparation methods of the two are different, traditional Chinese medicine granules are processed into fine particles by crushing, screening and other technologies, while Chinese herbal decoctions need to be semi-processed or fully treated with Chinese herbal medicines, and the juice is decocted through a boiler. It can be seen that compared with traditional Chinese medicine granules, the performance of Chinese herbal decoction preparations is stronger, such as the solubility of Chinese herbal decoction is higher, which better meets the needs of **.

Therefore, theoretically, depending on the condition, it is possible that the decoction of Chinese herbal medicine is more effective.

Self-decoction is better than Chinese medicine granules. Formula granules can not replace the decoction medicine, granules are mostly compared with the weight of the extract and the weight of the medicinal materials before extraction, there is dissipation of medicinal materials in the extraction process, due to the inconsistency of the production process, some traditional Chinese medicine formula granules have serious loss of active ingredients, and the specifications of the same variety are not uniform.

The inconsistency between the traditional preparation of decoction and the industrial extraction method, and the difference in chemical composition and efficacy between the single decoction and the combined decoction also make there no legal quality control standards for traditional Chinese medicine formula granules.

The decoction process of traditional Chinese medicine is a dynamic reaction process, and the interaction generated during the decoction process also has a great impact on the efficacy, and the production of formula granules ignores the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine to a certain extent.

I also want to know which one is better.

Judging from my personal feeling of eating, it must be different in terms of taste, the taste of the decoction is better, especially the ginger, the spicy taste of the decoction ginger is almost not felt, but the spicy taste of the granules is relatively strong, so I am on fire when I eat too much; From the point of view of the effect, I drank the decoction as soon as the effect came out, but the effect of the granules was not obvious, a famous doctor who saw me also recommended the decoction to me, from my feeling, the granules and the decoction are effective, but the effect of the decoction is obvious.

Traditional Chinese medicine granules, first single flavor granules and then integrated into compound granules by the time of washing, this method is against the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the overall concept, which also includes the drug mixing of various flavors of Chinese medicine in the decoction process, of course, it is very one-sided to explain the effect of traditional Chinese medicine purely pharmacologically, the former is about the chemical changes and pharmacological changes after the drug is mixed, and the latter is about the mixing of the four qi and five flavors. For example, some medicines in traditional Chinese medicine are decocted first, some are lowered later, and the granules are washed together, and there is not so much attention at all, so it is better to use traditional decoctions.

1. Traditional Chinese medicine granules are modern dosage forms, and decoctions are traditional dosage forms.

2. Granules are produced because the traditional decoction is not convenient for decoction and taking, and belongs to a transformation dosage form of decoction.

3. The principle of granules is the same as that of traditional Chinese medicine decoction.

4. Granules include wet granulation and dry granulation, wet granulation is made by decoction, concentration and addition of excipients to Chinese herbal medicines, and its pharmacological effect is the same as that of traditional Chinese medicine decoction after flushing.

To sum up, there is no difference between the compound granules and the decoction, but due to the difference in individual decoction methods, the effect of the decoction is not as good as that of the granules.

The decoction effect is better, and it is more pure, and the Chinese medicine granules are more convenient.

At present, there are many dosage forms of traditional Chinese medicine to choose from, and traditional boiling has indispensable benefits. However, ultrafine particles are mainly convenient, but in terms of efficacy, it is better to boil them by themselves.

It must be that the decoction has a good effect, for example, there is a recipe in traditional Chinese medicine called ephedra soup, which is composed of ephedra, cinnamon branches, almonds, licorice, these four flavor medicines can not be used separately for the sun typhoid syndrome, only the four flavor medicines are boiled together, and a new substance is generated through chemical reaction, this substance is called ephedra soup, it is not a simple accumulation of the four medicines, some studies have shown that the four flavor medicines are boiled separately and poured together and boiled together, its ingredients are not the same After clinical trials, the effect of the latter is much better than the former, The reason is that the former is a piling up of four medicines, while the latter has generated a new ingredient, ephedra soup! If you still don't understand, let me give you a simple example, everyone knows that hydrogen and oxygen can produce water through chemical reactions, is it because there is hydrogen and oxygen in the air, we don't need to drink water? Definitely not, because the oxygen and hydrogen in the air are not chemically reflected, just a mixture of the two, and only after a chemical reaction can water be formed!

I think you get the idea!

Nongben Chinese medicine formula granules are equivalent to the traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces after the water is concentrated, it is convenient to drink, no need to decoction, pour the boiling water, pour the granules into the water and stir it, you can drink. It is the first choice for many business travelers and people who are not convenient for decoction, and the medicinal effect is the same as that of decoction of Chinese herbal medicine, the former is a modern way and the latter is a traditional way.

Granules are generally made from the extract of single-flavor decoction pieces by dry granulation. Compared with decoction pieces, it has the advantage of being easy to take and easy to adjust the taste, and is generally suitable for people who decoct Chinese medicine unconditionally and children. However, the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is a very important process, and there will be many chemical reactions that have not been certified, and these reactions, in the way of boiling water, may not be able to carry out, so the medicinal effect of granules may not be able to meet the requirements of classical prescriptions.

Therefore, if you are willing to try the consumption of Chinese medicine, it is better to light the decoction in the pan of the fire rack.

I've tried both kinds, the stomach is not good in conditioning the body, at first I was going home from work every day to decoction and drinking, soaking and decoction at least two hours to start, every day to insist on too much perseverance, once I didn't take care of it and boiled it dry, intermittently delayed drinking those medicines. After the doctor knew about my situation during the re-examination, he changed the non-decoction Chinese medicine granules of Nongben Formula, and just brewed a small packet to drink every time like coffee, and I no longer had to work so hard and make the room full of Chinese medicine, and I felt that the effect was the same.

You may wish to learn about Nongbenfang, which uses the top 5% of the best quality medicinal materials on the market, and detects all varieties of heavy metals, pesticide residues, and microbial content, and monitors production without blind spots throughout the process.

The decoction is strong, the soup is dang, and the pill is thin
