9, the correct method of decocting Chinese medicine.

(1) Soak in water before decocting.

Before decocting, soak the medicinal materials in clear water for 20-30 minutes. This is because most Chinese herbal medicines are dried roots and fruits of plants. If you want to boil out the effective components of the medicine, you must first let the dried medicinal materials absorb enough water before the effective components can be released through the medium of water.

(2) The medicine should be decocted.

Under normal circumstances, Chinese medicine will also explain to patients that drugs should be decocted and drunk once in the morning and evening. However, although many people know that Chinese medicine needs to be boiled again, they often operate incorrectly. Decocting traditional Chinese medicine is not decocting once, drinking a bowl, decocting once, and drinking a second bowl.

The correct method of decocting medicine should be to fry it once, then immediately turn it over for the second time, then mix the first and second decoctions together, and then divide it into two bowls and drink it once in the morning and evening.
