Where can I get Chinese medicine for decoction?

Many people like to see Chinese medicine doctors. After all, Chinese herbal medicines are safer. However, there is a problem with taking Chinese herbal medicines, which is that it is inconvenient to boil them. This is especially true for single young men and women who may not even have a pot to boil medicine at home. Therefore, many Chinese medicine hospitals can boil Chinese medicine for them, which solves the troubles of many people. Because it is convenient, many people do not want to boil it even if they have a medicine pot. They can directly ask the hospital to boil it for them. The hospital will pack the boiled Chinese herbal medicines in vacuum bags and then mail them to your home. It is really convenient, but there will also be some problems, which everyone should pay attention to. See below for details.

1. How to preserve decocted medicines: Generally, a Chinese medicine doctor will prescribe at least one week's worth of Chinese medicinal materials. The hospital will decoct all the Chinese medicinal materials for you, so they need to be stored for at least one week. They must be placed in a refrigerator at 0-5℃, and the storage time should not exceed 15 days. It is very important that if the medicine bag swells or has bubbles or mold, it means that the medicine is moldy and cannot be taken again.

2. How to warm up the medicine: We cannot drink frozen Chinese medicinal materials directly. Chinese medicinal materials must be drunk while hot. Generally, the simplest way to warm them up is to soak them in boiling water. Pour boiling water into a large bowl, and then put the medicine bag in. If it is not heated well at one time, you can discard the water and soak it in boiling water again until the temperature of the medicine reaches about 50 degrees. If you are not afraid of inconvenience, it is best to boil it before taking it, which can avoid stomach pain. It can also ensure efficacy.

3. Disadvantages of decocting Chinese medicine on behalf of others: Although this method of decocting Chinese medicine saves a lot of inconvenience, it also has many disadvantages. The decocted medicine is stored in a bag and sterilized at high temperature, but it is not a sterile medicine. Generally, the decocted Chinese medicine must be kept for at least 7 days. Even if it is placed in the refrigerator, it cannot be guaranteed that it will not moldy and it may lose its effect.

There is still one thing, different prescriptions have different medicine compositions, and the decoction methods are also different. Some Chinese medicinal materials need to be added later, and some Chinese medicinal materials need to be decocted on low heat. But when frying on behalf of others, you don't need to worry about so many things. Just pour them all in and fry them together. The heat is also the same. It is not easy to fry them again. Everything is frying once, so it has a great impact on the effect.

After reading the introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of decocting Chinese medicine on behalf of others. Although this method is convenient, there are also many things to pay attention to. For busy people, decocting Chinese medicine on behalf of others is a very good choice, but after all, it is still not as good as decocting it by yourself. You can drink it on the same day, so there is no need to worry about adverse effects.
