Because stainless steel pots in general are different from iron pots and aluminum pots, stainless steel is chemically stable and won't have a chemical reaction with the Chinese medicines. But don't use iron pots, and aluminum pots, which will have chemical reactions with Chinese medicine. so as not to affect the efficacy of the herbal medicine. If you are simmering Chinese medicine, then certainly can not use stainless steel to simmer, because stainless steel is a metal, and Chinese medicine is a lot of organic compounds, these compounds may be and stainless steel in the metal components of the reaction.
So they often boil the Chinese medicine. Boiled Chinese medicine is not to be placed in a stainless steel pot, to give my own opinion, boiling Chinese medicine can be used in a stainless steel pot. But if you have a casserole or ceramic pot, it is not recommended to use stainless steel pots, because stainless steel pots heat dissipation block, iron and other metals will be precipitated, reduce solubility, and even cause chemical changes, side effects. Currently advocate the use of ceramic, tile pots rather than iron pots, copper pots, preferably also do not use aluminum pots and stainless steel, enamel containers to decoct, to ensure that the efficacy of Chinese medicine.
Because stainless steel is a metal, and Chinese medicine is a lot of organic compounds, these compounds may be and stainless steel in the metal components of the reaction, the proposal is that you now need to use ceramic pots or casseroles to boil Chinese medicine, not if there is no casserole or ceramic pots with stainless steel can be used, from the point of view of the chemical reaction of stainless steel can be used, of course, iron, aluminum, copper pots. Of course, iron, aluminum, copper pots should not be used, easy to react with the composition of the Chinese medicine, affecting the efficacy of the medicine.
No matter how the development of Western medicine, it can never replace the Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is a natural discipline, time and geography are affecting the survival of mankind and health every moment. Chinese herbal medicine is everywhere, economical and practical, with little side effects. In recent years, the rapid development of Miao medicine and Tibetan medicine in fact, we further investigate and analyze, Chinese medicine on the disease, although slow, but it is the use of nature's organic and inorganic substances, with a complete cure with little or no side effects.
