How to save Chinese medicine

In order to make full use of the medicinal materials, people are usually used to save the slag to the evening even after the head is fried, and the dregs are taken after being fried. "Summer dregs should be remembered, don"t save the dregs, but save the liquid." Zhong Yanzhu said that one medicine is usually fried twice a day, and in the summer, after the decoction, it should be heated and dehydrated. In order to prevent the slag from deteriorating.

Because the concentration of the head decocting and the two decocting drugs are different, in order to ensure the continued strength of the drug, the two should be mixed and then divided into two bowls. After cooling a bowl, pour into a thermos bottle and store at room temperature without heating. However, for emergency diseases such as colds and abdominal pains, in order to make the drugs work quickly, the first step is to drink the decocting medicine, then simmer the medicated slag, and then save the two decocting drugs.

If the time interval between the two medications is long, the liquid can be placed in a closed small container, placed in the refrigerator freezer, and then drink at night. The storage container can be made of glass, porcelain or stainless steel. It is not suitable to use plastic, iron or aluminum products. "Drink the liquid on the day of the day, don"t let it go overnight."

In addition, the liquid medicine taken out of the refrigerator must be heated before taking it to avoid stomach upset. When heating, the liquid should be placed in a steamer and the rice cooker should be steamed instead of being heated in a microwave oven. If the decocting medicine retrieved from the hospital is stored at room temperature, it can be placed in a hot water compartment of 70 ° C ~ 80 ° C when heated, and it can be placed in a steamer to be steamed.
