Can microwave oven heat traditional Chinese medicine?

It is best not to directly heat traditional Chinese medicine in the microwave oven.

This operation is not only unsafe, but also causes the waste of traditional Chinese medicine, even destroys the function of traditional Chinese medicine and reduces the curative effect.
