Decoction tips
(1) First of all, the utensils are important. Metal pots such as iron pots are usually a no-no because many molecules with medicinal properties may react with the metal at high temperatures, leading to changes in medicinal effects. So it's best to use a casserole dish. Also the amount of water ah whatever should be a consideration.
(2) Second, the extraction conditions are very important, which is called the fire. Ancient times can not do precise quantification, and different fuel combustion characteristics of different fuels, relying on different fuels can achieve different temperatures as well as heating time and a series of related parameters, such as cow dung burned long and even ah what.
(3) Finally, is it possible that the composition of the fuel played a role in the combustion process? I personally think it is unlikely. The combustion of organic components are almost destroyed, it is too difficult to enter the soup and reach the therapeutic window concentration, but this should not be a major factor.
