Decoction with water.
As a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional use of Cistanchis dry tablets is to be taken by decocting with water, because the active ingredients can be completely dissolved into the water after decocting with water, so as to achieve a better therapeutic effect.
However, the effect of a single medicine is limited, so for Cistanchis to achieve better results, besides considering the method of consumption, it should be used in combination with other medicines, such as Silk Seed, Chuanjian, Cortex Eucommiae, and so on, through the dialectic treatment.
2 How long is the best time for Cistanchis to be boiled in waterabout 30 minutes.
If the boiling time of Cistanchis is too short, the dissolution degree of the medicinal ingredients will be low, and the effect will be poorer after taking it. However, if the boiling time of Cistanchis is too long, the phenomenon of drying out of the pot can easily occur, and if the water is added repeatedly, it will easily lead to the loss of the medicinal ingredients, which will affect the therapeutic effect, so the Cistanchis is generally added with enough water, boiled for 30 minutes, and then drunk when it is very dark in color. Therefore, Cistanchis are usually boiled with enough water for about 30 minutes and drunk when the color is very dark.
3 Can Cistanchis be eaten directly when cookedCan be eaten.
Cistanchos are sweet, salty, warm, and belong to the kidney and large intestine meridian, have the effect of tonifying the kidney yang, benefiting the essence and blood, and moistening the intestinal tract, which belongs to the nourishing class of medicinal herbs, and can be eaten directly after being cooked.
Only if Cistanchis are not cooked as a medicinal meal, and directly boiled in decoction, then it is not recommended to eat, because such Cistanchis not only taste bad, but also has no medical effect.
4 Can you continue to eat Cistanchis even if you have diarrheaIt is not recommended to continue to eat it.
Cistanchis have the effect of moisturizing the intestinal tract, which means that they can promote defecation after taking them. If you continue to take them when you have diarrhea, it will easily lead to further aggravation of the symptoms, so it is not advisable to continue to take them.
As diarrhea is serious, it can cause dehydration, shock or other complications, so for patients with diarrhea, not only do they need to stop taking Cistanchia, but they also need to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and use the medication under the guidance of a professional doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition and causing more serious consequences.
