What is Yanhuang Chinese Medicine?

Yanhuang is not the real name of a Chinese medicinal material. In fact, the real Yanhuang should be called Zhihuang. Zhihuang does not specifically refer to a Chinese medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, but a method of processing Chinese medicinal materials. Because most Chinese medicinal materials cannot be used immediately after they are obtained, certain processing methods are required before they can be used by people. The following is a detailed explanation of the relevant knowledge about Zhihuang.

1. First of all, the word "Yan" in the traditional Chinese medicine Yanhuang should be "Zhi". Zhihuang refers to a method of processing traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, after obtaining a certain important medicine, it cannot be eaten immediately. Some of them undergo specific production, or processing, to allow the medicine to maintain better medicinal properties.

2. The general objects of Chinese medicine roasting are things like leek seeds. By frying them over high heat, the leek seeds will turn yellow and the color will deepen to a certain extent. At this time, the smell of the medicine itself will be revealed, which will enhance the effect of the medicine to a certain extent.

3. This method is to place the medicine in the pot and then stir-fry it with a low fire. This is the so-called roasting. For example, leek seeds can be used to treat men's prostatitis and kidney deficiency symptoms after being roasted in this way. The medicinal effect is very good and the toxicity is less.

Note:

The Chinese medicine Yanhuang does not refer to a medicine, but a method of preparing Chinese medicine. It is stir-fried over a low heat to make the medicine turn yellow or even darker in color. If successful, the medicine's properties become better, its toxicity becomes less, and it will emit its own unique smell.
