Should Chinese medicine be washed, and how should Chinese medicine be washed?

Do not wash the herb before decoction. This is because:

Water washing can cause the loss of water-soluble components of medicinal materials: because many medicinal materials contain sugars and glycosides, which can be dissolved in water, after washing, a part of the active ingredients will be lost, resulting in a decrease in efficacy.

Washing can cause the loss of powdered medicinal materials: many medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine are powdered, and some need to be ground when dispensing, such as peach kernels, keel, talcum powder, etc., if washed with water, it will cause the loss of these drugs.

Washing can lead to the loss of some excipients of medicinal materials: because some medicinal materials are added with honey, wine, bile and other excipients in the processing process, and these excipients are easily soluble in water, if washed with water, it can lead to the loss of some excipients. For example, gallant star in commonly used medicinal materials, rhubarb made of wine, etc.

Therefore, before decocting Chinese medicine, it is not advisable to rinse the herbs with water, so as not to cause the loss of the ingredients of the herbs and affect the efficacy of the medicines.

The composition of Chinese herbal medicines is diverse, and some Chinese medicines will use some auxiliary materials, such as adding honey, wine, bile and other excipients in the processing process. There are also many medicinal materials containing sugars and glycosides, which can be dissolved in water, and after washing, a part of the active ingredients will be lost, resulting in a decrease in efficacy.

How to boil Chinese medicine?

First, it is best to use an enamel jar when decocting medicine, because metal utensils such as iron pots are more prone to chemical reactions, which affects the curative effect.

The second is that a dose of medicine is generally decocted twice. Before decoction, the herbs are soaked in cold water for 30 minutes to soften the herbs and then heated.

The third is that decoction of Chinese medicine produces foam, not boiling.

Usually, the best traditional Chinese medicine is not cleaned, the herbs are too dirty can be quickly washed, and the moldy insects are simply changed.

There is no need to wash it, as washing it will reduce the efficacy of the drug.

Now the traditional Chinese medicine is very strict, and the general quality is relatively good, and then there are traditional Chinese medicine generally decoction to take, most of which have to be decoction for 20-30 minutes after boiling, so that not only the active ingredients of the drug are decocted out, but also sterilized and disinfected. You can take it with confidence.

Some people always wash the pieces with water before decocting Chinese medicine, thinking that this will ensure hygiene, but this is not true. The following is the knowledge I bring to you about whether to wash with water before boiling Chinese medicine, welcome to read.

1. Washing can cause the loss of water-soluble ingredients contained in medicinal materials. Many medicinal materials contain water-soluble sugars and glycosides, and after washing, some of these active ingredients will be dissolved in water and lost, resulting in a decrease in efficacy and affecting the curative effect.

It is worth mentioning that Chinese medicine should be soaked in water before decoction.

Most of the Chinese herbal medicines are based on plants, and many plant medicines contain protein and starch, if these plant medicines are decocted immediately without blisters, then the protein will coagulate when heated, and the starch will also gelatinize, which will hinder the decoction of the active ingredients. Therefore, before decoction, Chinese medicine should generally be soaked in cold water for 30 minutes to one hour, so that the water can soak the medicine, so that the active ingredients of the medicine can be dissolved in water first, so that it can be fully decocted. The amount of water added should generally be mastered after soaking the herbs and exceeding about one centimeter.

It's still best to flush the water. There may be sand and dust in the herbs. And I don't know how many hands passed. It may also accidentally spill on the ground during transportation.
