Traditional Chinese medicines are widely used by people all the time and people often use them to treat their body various diseases, so do you know how to decoct them?Next let me keep you informed of the following methods as much as i can.

First of all, well choose medicine pan and it’s better to use earthen pot to decoct traditional Chinese medicines. Besides, copper pan and iron pan can not be used to decoct them.

Secondly, before decocting them, use clear water to soak them and add appropriate water to earthen pot according to the different characteristics of medicines. For example, when treating coryza and cough and so on diseases, pour water with the volume of 300ml into this earthen pot, when nursing health and nourishing, pour more water into it.

Thirdly, when soaking them, the time should be completely different, as for loose and flirtatious floral leaf, grass medicinal materials should be soaked for 30 minutes, as for the root, stem of plants and other kinds of medicines need to be soaked for 1 hour. Furthermore, the water temperature had best be controlled between 40 degrees and 50 degrees.

Fourthly, the time of decocting should be generally around half an hour after boiling, no matter what kinds of medicines, medicine juice of 150ml should be remained at least and the time of decocting should not be too long to avoid decreasing the efficacy of medicines.

Finally, well get hold of optimal fire. When starting to decoct medicines, turn on the warm fire and turn on the small fire after boiling. Moreover, pot cover can not be opened frequently when decocting medicines to avoid the volatilization of the flavors of drugs.
