Do you know how to decoct and take Chinese medicine when you buy it home?

The bitter taste of good medicine is good for the disease, and the side effects of western medicine are great. Now many people will choose Chinese medicine to regulate their bodies. Before I had a baby, I specially consulted an old Chinese doctor for a while, so the matter of decocting medicine is still relatively clear.

First of all, you should buy a special pan for decocting medicine. If it is not easy to buy, you can use the stainless steel pot at home (you can't use an iron pan). Before decocting the medicine, put the medicine into the pot and add clear water. I must not have used Chinese medicine. I usually soak the medicine the night before and get up early the next day to start frying. When decocting medicine, put the pot on the gas stove to boil, and then turn to low heat to let it boil slowly. I usually let it boil for more than an hour, pour out the medicine, and put the specially filtered small grate given by the hospital on the bowl when pouring out, so that the residue is not easy to pour into the bowl, and then put the pot on the stove and add hot water to let it boil, and then turn to low heat for about half an hour to pour out. Finally, mix the two bowls of medicine, divide them into two bowls and drink one bowl while it is hot. After the other bowl is cooled, wrap it in a fresh-keeping thin film and put it in the refrigerator. Just heat it in a pot when taking it.

Chinese medicine must be drunk while it is hot. I think when drinking Chinese medicine, you must hold your breath and gulp it. If you slow down, it will be hard to swallow. There are still many taboos when taking Chinese medicine. Just follow the doctor's advice.
