Does Chinese medicine have to be boiled before it can be used?

I use Chinese medicine to make a facial mask. Please tell me!

Thanks!

Chinese medicine does not necessarily need to be boiled before use.

Although traditional Chinese medicines are traditionally boiled to extract active ingredients, the development of modern technology allows Chinese medicines to be used in other forms, such as made into medicinal powder, soaked in water, or applied directly to the skin.

For using Chinese medicine to make a facial mask, you can choose to grind the Chinese medicine into powder, and then add an appropriate amount of water or other liquid according to personal needs to make a facial mask.

In this way, the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine can be directly applied to the skin for maintenance and treatment.

It should be noted that different traditional Chinese medicines have different characteristics and effects.

Some Chinese medicines need to be boiled to release their active ingredients, especially some hard plant materials.

Therefore, when choosing to use Chinese medicine to make a facial mask, it is best to determine whether it needs to be boiled in advance according to the specific situation.

When using traditional Chinese medicine, you should also pay attention to personal skin type and allergies.

Some people may be allergic to certain ingredients in Chinese medicine or may not be suitable for use.

Therefore, it is best to conduct a skin test before use and conduct it under the guidance of a doctor or professional.
