What is the difference between Chinese medicine granules and traditional tablets?

Granules are generally made from the extracts of single-flavored tablets, which are dry granulated. Compared to tablets, it has the advantage of being easy to take, easy to adjust the taste, and is generally suitable for people who do not have the conditions to decoct Chinese medicine and children. However, the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is a very important process, in which there will be a lot of uncertified chemical reactions, and these reactions, in the way of boiling water, may not be able to be carried out, so the medicinal effect of granules may not be able to meet the requirements of classical prescriptions.

If you are willing to try herbal medicine, it is better to light a fire and set up a pot for decoction.
