What pot is better for decocting medicine?

First of all, we suggest cooking Chinese medicine in traditional casserole.

1. Since China has its own records of traditional Chinese medicine, the ancients have been using casserole or clay pot to boil medicine. According to our modern theory, it is a casserole. Its chemical properties are stable and drug reactions are not easy to occur. There is also a casserole, which is evenly heated, slow in heat transfer and heat dissipation, and can give full play to its efficacy in the process of boiling medicine to ensure the expected curative effect.

2. Many friends ask whether stainless steel or enamel pots can cook Chinese medicine, and the answer is yes. Because stainless steel pot, which is essentially stable, will not react with drugs. But it has a disadvantage, that is, the heat transfer is too fast, especially when the medicine is boiled on the induction cooker, the local temperature at the bottom of the pot is often too fast, and it is easy to paste and dry the pot. Therefore, we suggest that if stainless steel pot is used to boil medicine, it is best to cook it on a gas stove, and the heat should be controlled to avoid the phenomenon of medicine paste.

3. We'd better not use iron pots, copper pots and aluminum pot, because these elements may react chemically with some components in traditional Chinese medicine, reducing the efficacy, and may also have toxic and side effects. For example, aluminum pot and wok will react with tannins in traditional Chinese medicine to produce aluminum tannins and iron tannins, which will produce dark green precipitates, which will cause nausea and vomiting after taking them. but
