It is best to choose a pot for boiling medicine. It is not impossible to use porcelain pots or iron pots. Yes, but it's best to use a casserole!

Boiling medicine in a pot has two advantages:

First, the casserole is evenly heated, the medicine is boiled for a long time, and the firepower is even. And the casserole has this stable characteristic, the casserole is heated slowly and evenly, and it is not easy to paste the pot. And the price is cheap.

You don't need a high-quality casserole to boil medicine, as long as it doesn't leak.

Second, it is particularly important to use ceramic casserole to decoct medicine, because it is stable in nature and not easy to react with medicine! If there is no casserole, you can also use stainless steel, enamel products or glassware instead. However, copper, aluminum, iron and other metal containers cannot be used, because the chemical properties of metal containers are unstable, and chemical reactions are easy to occur, which will affect the efficacy and even produce toxic and side effects. Patients may have nausea and vomiting after taking it, which will aggravate their condition.

Attachment: decocting method:

First, the decocting container should use casserole.

Second, Chinese medicine should be soaked in cold water for about 20 minutes before frying. Generally, the water consumption for decoction after soaking the powder is 1-3cm. Drugs with large dosage, loose foam and easy water absorption can increase the water consumption appropriately.

Three, decocting time should be based on the nature of the drug, the general drug is 30 minutes. Antiexterior drugs, antipyretic drugs and aromatic drugs should not be decocted for a long time. Boil and then fry 15-20 minutes. After the tonic is boiled with strong fire, it is slowly decocted with slow fire for 40-60 minutes. Stir the ingredients for 2-3 times when boiling. Each dose of traditional Chinese medicine is generally decocted twice, and the second decoction time can be slightly shorter.

Dosage of decoction: 50- 100 ml for children. Adult 150-200ml per dose.

Five, special medicine decoction method:

1, "decoct drugs first": boil 10- 15 minutes, then add other drugs and decoct them together.

2. "Post-medicine": When the general medicine is about to boil to a predetermined amount, put it in the same soup for 5 minutes.

3. "Dissolve medicine": decoct other medicines to a predetermined dose, decoct the medicine juice with low fire, and stir constantly to dissolve it.

4. "taking medicine": taking medicine in decoction or boiling water.

5, other special drugs according to the doctor's advice.

Chinese medicine management:

First, decoct one dose every day, two juices for each dose, one juice in the morning and one juice in the evening, usually after meals.

Second, pills are generally taken twice a day, and it is best to take medicine while eating, so as to facilitate absorption and enhance the curative effect.

Unsealed drugs should be properly kept to prevent moisture deterioration.
