Present situation of traditional Chinese medicine in fermented traditional Chinese medicine

Why the same medicine may be effective for others, but it may not be effective for yourself. It used to work, but it doesn't necessarily work now?

1. Due to the backward processing technology of traditional Chinese medicine, especially the prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine, they are basically boiled at home. In fact, the boiling process is to extract the effective components of Chinese medicine through boiling. However, it is difficult to unify the time, temperature and pressure of cooking Chinese medicine at home, so it is difficult to determine how many effective components can be extracted completely. Therefore, the traditional Chinese medicine decoction cooked at home will have the problems of slow curative effect and inaccurate curative effect.

That is to say, if you can't boil this medicine well, and all the effective components of the medicine are not boiled out, the effect of this medicine will not be good, and patients will be ineffective or slow to take it.

2. It is because the decoction or Chinese patent medicine taken by the patient is not the final component that directly enters the blood to exert its efficacy, but only the intermediate substance. After these intermediates enter the body, they will be digested and decomposed by probiotics in the gastrointestinal system of the human body, and then they can be transformed into effective components that will eventually play a role, so as to enter the blood and play the therapeutic role of drugs.

But the flora of probiotics in everyone's gastrointestinal system is different: if the flora is balanced, it can digest and decompose drugs to the maximum extent and absorb and utilize effective components; On the other hand, if the flora is out of balance and the number of probiotics is small, the drug components can not be effectively decomposed and absorbed, and will be directly excreted with feces, so the drug can not play its due role in treating diseases. Therefore, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine varies from person to person and from patient's physical condition. It used to be good, but now it may not be good.
