About the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, how to eat, and the treatment of medicine resid

If there is: decoction first, then down, single decoction, cooking, and package decoction, the pharmacy has explained to you when giving you Chinese medicine, and it must be operated according to the regulations. If there are no special instructions, follow the following method:

1. Put one dose of Chinese medicine each time in a cleaned clay pot, clay pot or casserole, add cold water to a height about 2 fingers higher than the surface of the medicine, and soak the Chinese medicine for more than 30 minutes, so that the active ingredients of the Chinese medicine decoction pieces are easy to decoction.

2. Fry over high heat until boiling for about 3 minutes. Then simmer (low heat) and fry for 30 minutes to form a small bowl of liquid medicine, and pour it into a larger bowl.

3. Add about a small bowl and a half of boiling water, continue to fry to a small bowl (about 20 minutes), pour out the liquid medicine and mix it together in the bowl of the first dose of liquid medicine, so that the effect of the medicine is balanced.

4. In a day, divide it into two times in the morning and evening, and drink the decoction. When drinking, the decoction is heated until warm.

The medicine slag beach is paved in the middle of the road, which is a legend, one is to say; Someone else stepping on it will take your disease away. The second is to say; A long time ago, there was a famous doctor named Li Shizhen, who was a skilled doctor who was very good at curing the disease, and once he passed by a village, many patients took medicine, which not only could not cure the disease but harmed many people. People don't know what the reason is, Li Shizhen asked people to find the medicine residue to show him, it turned out that Jianghu Langzhong used fake and inferior drugs to treat the disease, this matter spread ten, ten to hundred, and soon spread throughout most of China, people want Li Shizhen to see a doctor, but Li Shizhen can't see a doctor for everyone.

To this end; He told people to dump the dregs of Chinese medicine on the road, and when he passed by, if he found fake or inferior medicines, he would go to the door and tell the patients. Therefore; People poured the residue of Chinese medicine on the road, so that the miracle doctor would be obsolete and check the authenticity of the medicine. In this way, the custom of dumping medicine residue on the road slowly prevailed until now.

In fact, the Chinese medicine you have decocted has no effect, and can be thrown away as garbage and dumped in the middle of the road, which will hinder the cleanliness of the environment.

Note: It is better to decoct Chinese herbal decoction with pottery, tile, and sand pots, and you can also use stainless steel containers and enamel containers, not iron pots or aluminum pots. (Now there is a kind of electric clay pot for decocting Chinese medicine in Chinese medicine stores, which can adjust the heat and automatically cut off the power when the decoction is done).

If the tonic drugs should be decocted for 10 minutes over a simmer, the mineral ones in the drug compatibility should be fried for a longer time. **Antidotes such as colds or medicines containing volatile oils should be decocted for less than 10 minutes.

One dose a day, that is, one pack, can be taken in two divided doses or in one meal. If there are no accidents, it is best to do it after a meal. The drug residue does not need to be paved, and the urban management will be fined.

Patients with arthritis can soak their feet with medicinal residues. For most medical diseases, the residue is thrown into the kitchen waste of the sorted garbage.

Two methods for reference. 1. Decoction with disposable non-woven bagged medicine, after decoction, wait for a little cool and twist it by hand (plants and trees can be, it is estimated that rhizomes are woody). 2. After the decoction is finished, the residue is raised and naturally drained, and the time needs to be longer.

If the liquid medicine is cold, the tonic can be scalded or steamed in a bowl, and the medicine containing aroma and heat is not applicable). If there are valuable Chinese medicine decoction pieces, they can be decocted and taken separately.

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.
