The processing of traditional Chinese medicine is a very important pharmaceutical process, which not only changes the medicinal properties, but also weakens the toxicity or even disappears?

Processing is a processing method of heating medicinal materials to meet the needs of treatment. The collection and loading of this material does not include the processing of origin and the soaking and cutting of decoction pieces, but the processing process of making medicinal materials into clinker or changing their properties. The main purpose of medicinal materials processing is to ensure the curative effect of drugs, which can be summarized as follows:

1, drugs to reduce or relieve toxicity: such as Pinellia ternata and aconite.

2, enhance the efficacy of drugs.

3. Change the function of drugs.

4, easy to crush and decoct.

At present, processing methods are mainly divided into five categories: water and fire, water, fire, water and fire and other methods.

I briefly described the basic methods and significance of Chinese medicine processing, hoping to help you, hoping to adopt it by hands!
