Before decocting Chinese medicine, it is necessary to distinguish which Chinese medicine is difficult to decoct and which medicine is easy to decoct and volatile. General Chinese medicine is soaked in sandbags for 30 minutes-1 hour. The water added by traditional Chinese medicine is generally soaked in medicinal materials, and the height of soaking is almost the height of a palm! Remember: don't wash the fried Chinese medicine! If you put it in a decocting machine, you can choose a decocting machine with different functions according to the different decocting machines. At present, there are ten-function automatic double-frying and decocting machines produced by Beijing Donghua Yuan. If you decoct medicine at home, you can put it in a casserole.
The so-called frying first actually means that some Chinese herbal medicines need to be fried first and then put. This is based on the decoction and toxicity of Chinese herbal medicines, because some Chinese herbal medicines are toxic and need to be decocted for a long time to detoxify, while some Chinese herbal medicines are volatile and will lose their medicinal properties if they are decocted for too long. After the first frying, the liquid medicine is fried for about 30 minutes, then put into another casserole and fried with water. The decoction time is about 1 hour, and it can be taken.
