Which is the best curative effect?

There are generally several ways to take traditional Chinese medicine, the decoction is absorbed quickly, and the powder is absorbed slowly, but it is easy to store and carry. There is also a paste that tastes good and is easy to carry. There are also pills, which are suitable for chronic disease conditioning and long-term use. In your case, it is recommended to boil the medicine first, and then take the powder later.

If you beat the powder and then flush it after a period of time, the medicinal properties of the herbs may be exerted, and the decoction effect is faster, but it is more troublesome to boil, and it can play a better role.

Decoction is better than powdering. The powdered medicine should be washed and dried as much as possible. The strong flavor of Chinese medicine powder is not suitable for long-term storage, and some cannot be powdered. Medicines that need to be decocted cannot be powdered casually.

Some people believe that it is more convenient to take traditional Chinese medicine after powdering than traditional decoction, so it is good to "powder" Chinese medicine.

In fact, most Chinese herbal medicines can indeed be taken with powder. The surface area of powdered Chinese medicine is increased, which is conducive to absorption, and the medicinal effect is exerted quickly. For example, angelica. In many traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, the doctor's order will indicate "crushed decoction", precisely because the powder is more comprehensive and absorbed.

However, not all herbs are suitable for powdering, and some herbs rely on strong smells to exert their effects. For example, peppermint, agarwood, skullcap, bupleurum, etc. This type of herb will cause the smell to evaporate faster after powdering. However, it should be taken immediately, otherwise it is easy to cause odor volatilization and affect the efficacy.

It should be noted that the absorption of Chinese medicine is more comprehensive after powdering. Under the same circumstances, the dosage of Chinese medicine required for powdering will be smaller than the dose required for traditional decoction. In addition, powdered Chinese medicine is easy to absorb moisture and deteriorate, and should not be left for a long time.

Most Chinese herbal medicines can be powdered, and some Chinese medicines are used as health food therapy products, and the effect of powdering is indeed better than decoction and soaking in water. For example, angelica is a medicinal herb that is used in many traditional Chinese medicine decoctions, and doctors generally indicate "broken" after the pharmacy when prescribing medicines, otherwise the effect may not be fully exerted when decocting the medicine. And if the people take Angelica to boil soup or other purposes, the granules alone will be relatively hard, not only difficult to exert medicinal effects, but also the taste is not very good, at this time, it is undoubtedly a good way to make medicinal powder.

The effect of powdering is even better than that of the original drug, but there are two points to pay attention to.

Try to take it as much as possible. Traditional Chinese medicine powder has the advantages of being easy to make, easy to take and carry, absorbing quickly, and saving medicinal materials, but it must not be eaten dry for convenience. This increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and hands over the absorption, decomposition and extraction process of the drug to the stomach.

In addition to recommending that you take powdered Chinese medicine, it can also be used when cooking porridge and soup, but you should pay attention to the medicinal properties when using it. For example, astragalus membranaceus, if the medicine is boiled in soup and taken, it is much better absorbed than taking powder.

Store dry. When the powdered drug is stored, it should be kept dry, refrigerated or frozen, but the time should not be too long, so as not to reduce the efficacy. It is recommended to refrigerate in a low-temperature, dry place, and some precious medicinal materials are recommended to be frozen, but not for more than 1 2 years.

The second sentence: The strong flavor of Chinese medicine powder is not suitable for long-term storage.

Professor Jin Xianchun said that for example, angelica, agarwood, skullcap, peppermint, bupleurum and other traditional Chinese medicines with a strong smell rely on a strong taste to exert their medicinal effects, and the medicinal effect will be dispersed after being stored for a long time. Therefore, this kind of medicine with a strong smell is not suitable for powder and long-term storage.

In addition to the strong flavor of traditional Chinese medicine should not be powdered for a long time, what other drugs are not suitable for powdering? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that flower-based medicines, such as honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, and reishi mushrooms, should not be powdered. Ganoderma lucidum powder will be like cotton wool, and plant stem drugs containing more cellulose are not suitable for powdering.

Cordyceps and other valuable herbs will be lost in the process of making powder, which not only causes economic losses, but also affects the dosage taken.

The third sentence: Chinese medicine needs to be decocted and cannot be powdered at will.

Tang Hongmei, chief pharmacist of the Department of Pharmacy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, reminded that traditional Chinese medicine should not be powdered at will. The composition of traditional Chinese medicine is complex, and there are many chemical reactions in the decoction process, and the prescription issued by the physician has special requirements for decoction: such as decoction first (hard Chinese medicine in order to facilitate the dissolution of active ingredients; Toxic Chinese medicine reduces toxicity or eliminates toxicity), after the bottom, package decoction, another decoction, washing, cooking, soaking.

Only by following these special requirements can the efficacy of the prescription be guaranteed.

Traditional Chinese medicine should be decocted with water. Because the active ingredient of the Chinese medicine is dissolved by decoction in water.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acute diseases use soup, because the effect is relatively fast, and easy to add or subtract, chronic diseases use pills, easy to take, ** cheap, after beating into powder, you need to mix it with boiled honey, which can play a certain role in sterilization, Chinese medicine is to take the powder or boil the soup to take it needs to be decided according to the sexual taste of the drug and the symptoms of the disease, not all of them are good to take the powder or the effect of boiling the soup is good. Suggestions: It is recommended to take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, and avoid spicy and thick ointment during the period of taking the medicine.

It is good to boil Chinese medicine. Drugs that are collected, processed, and prepared under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, explain the mechanism of action, and guide clinical application are collectively referred to as traditional Chinese medicine. In short, traditional Chinese medicine refers to substances that are used to prevent, diagnose and have health care effects under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory.

Chinese medicine is mainly used in natural medicines and their processed products, including botanical medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines and some chemical and biological products. Since most of the traditional Chinese medicine is botanical, there is a saying that "all medicines are herb-based".

The distribution and production of natural medicinal materials are inseparable from certain natural conditions. The production of various medicinal materials has a certain regionality regardless of variety, output and quality. Therefore, since ancient times, doctors have attached great importance to authentic medicinal materials.

The so-called authentic medicinal materials, also known as authentic medicinal materials, is a special term for high-quality and innocent medicinal materials, which refers to the medicinal materials with a long history, suitable origin, excellent varieties, abundant yield, exquisite processing, outstanding curative effect, and regional characteristics. Such as Angelica sinensis in Gansu, wolfberry in Ningxia, rhubarb in Qinghai, astragalus in Inner Mongolia, ginseng, asaroxin, and schisandra in Northeast China, Codonopsis in Shanxi, rehmannia in Henan, hyssop, yam, chrysanthemum, etc.

The harvest season and method of traditional Chinese medicine are closely related to ensuring the quality of the medicine. Because animals and plants in different periods of their growth and development of their medicinal parts contain different effective and harmful components, so the efficacy and toxicity of drugs are often quite different, so the harvest of medicinal materials must be collected at the appropriate time.

Some Chinese herbs are powdered and fried into soup, but some Chinese herbs cannot be powdered, so you can boil the medicine according to the method provided by the doctor.

Of course, the effect is not the same, if you do this, you will completely destroy the nutrients in the Chinese medicine, so don't do it.

For some safe and expensive medicinal and edible homologous medicinal materials, powdering and taking it can not only improve the utilization of medicinal materials and save medicinal resources, but also facilitate the rapid dissolution of pharmaceutical ingredients. Moreover, when decocting Chinese medicine, some water-insoluble chemical components are dissolved in the decoction to a limited extent, while powdered consumption ingests all the components of the Chinese medicine, including water-soluble compounds and water-insoluble compounds. In particular, the efficacy of some ultra-fine powders is no worse than that of decoctions.

Whether the Chinese herbal medicine itself is powdered depends on the material or preparation process of the medicinal material itself, and it is related to the exertion of medicinal power, but this is not the landlord's problem, I understand that the landlord's question is: the difference between the methods of taking traditional Chinese medicine, is it better to decoction or flushing?

There is some truth in the fact that decoction of Chinese medicine is a rule that has been gradually formed in the practice of Chinese medicine for thousands of years. After boiling traditional Chinese medicine, most of its medicinal ingredients are water-soluble substances, which are more conducive to human absorption. However, some parts cannot be completely precipitated, so it will cause waste.

Therefore, some of them can also be fried again.

Although the use of medicinal materials is relatively comprehensive and does not waste, the body's digestion and absorption capacity is limited, so the actual effect will be better than that of decoction.

To sum up, decoction or flushing depends on individual circumstances. If you don't have enough time to decoct the medicine (it usually takes a few hours), or if you don't have the necessary utensils (non-metallic utensils such as casseroles), you can choose to take it.

One point to add: the brewing mentioned by the landlord is not equivalent to the Chinese patent medicine produced by the pharmaceutical factory. There are powdered forms of Chinese patent medicines, but they are all prepared by traditional processes, and the effect is better than that of simple herbal powder preparation.
