Is Chinese medicine eaten before or after meals? How can Chinese medicine play its greatest role?

Personally, I think it's best to take Chinese medicine 20 minutes after meals, which can achieve the maximum effect without hurting the spleen and stomach.

In fact, before drinking Chinese medicine, you must know the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine you drink. Some Chinese medicines need to be taken before meals. For example, drugs for treating stomach diseases or treating liver and spleen can be taken before meals. This will be more conducive to absorption, but for other diseases, my suggestion is to take it after meals. You know, Chinese medicine will contain many drugs that stimulate the stomach. If you take it before meals, it will make patients feel very uncomfortable, so you usually take it after meals.

The most important thing is that when we take medicine, we must listen to the doctor's advice to see if we should pay attention to diet during taking medicine. Is there anything to avoid, such as not eating spicy food, seafood or something similar to taking drugs? Only by doing this can the drugs we take play the greatest role.

Chinese medicine is also very particular about taking time, so when taking medicine, you must ask the doctor whether to take it in the morning or at night or before going to bed, which will affect the effect of Chinese medicine. So be sure to pay attention to these details, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.

In order to make the Chinese medicine we take have the best effect and achieve the best curative effect, we must follow the doctor's advice. Only in this way can our illness recover as soon as possible.
