How to take Chinese medicine without decoction?

Traditional Chinese medicine in our country is very extensive and profound. Sometimes diseases that cannot be treated by Western medicine can be treated very well through traditional Chinese medicine. The benefits of traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning the body are very great. In life, many people say that the stamina of traditional Chinese medicine is very strong, but because the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively slow, some people cannot see the effect in a short time and often give up easily. So what is the method of taking traditional Chinese medicine without decoction?

Single-ingredient Chinese herbal formula granules are usually called decoction pieces that do not require decoction. Conceptually, the so-called single-ingredient Chinese medicine formula granules are a series of pure Chinese medicine products that are made from traditional Chinese medicine pieces that meet processing standards and are refined through extraction, concentration, separation, drying, granulation and packaging using modern pharmaceutical technology.

The purpose of launching decoction-free Chinese medicine is to use it as a substitute for traditional Chinese medicine pieces for clinical prescriptions. Compared with traditional Chinese medicine pieces and decoctions, single-ingredient Chinese medicine granules do not need to be decocted, thus avoiding the trouble of decocting Chinese medicine, unpleasant odors, tedious decoction process, various difficult-to-grasp techniques, and the resulting instability in efficacy.

Traditional Chinese medicine that does not require decoction can be divided into two types: granules and powders according to their properties. The method of taking non-decoction Chinese medicine is as follows:

1. Conventional method of use

(1) Tear open all the packaging bags of each decoction-free Chinese medicine for one day and pour them into a container.

(2) Add 200-300 ml of warm water according to the dosage. (For powdered Chinese medicine that does not require decoction, it should be mixed with cold water to form a paste, and then washed with boiling water.) The amount of water can be increased or decreased according to the dosage. Stir to mix thoroughly and take twice a day, morning and evening, or as directed by the doctor. When taking the medicine at intervals, you can heat the medicine according to the temperature of the liquid medicine before taking it.

Some animal and mineral medicines, as well as Panax notoginseng, amber, frankincense, myrrh, ginseng, Fritillaria cirrhosa, etc. among the decoction-free Chinese medicines are mostly used in clinical practice as decoctions after decocting the pieces in order to enhance absorption and improve efficacy. They are used in combination with the above-mentioned "decoction-free Chinese medicines". That is, the decoction-free Chinese medicines are mixed with the decoction according to the prescribed amount while hot or heated, and then taken after stirring evenly, thereby taking the best of both worlds and achieving twice the result with half the effort.

3. Decoction and consumption

When non-decoction Chinese medicine is difficult to dissolve or cannot be completely dissolved after being washed with warm water, it can be heated on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to make it completely dissolved, thereby improving its solubility and absorption effect.

4. Some precious Chinese medicines that do not require decoction are ultra-finely ground and cannot be dissolved. They can be taken after shaking with water, or heated in a microwave for 20 seconds to promote their dissolution, and then taken after the water temperature drops to warm.

6. According to the needs of the disease, the Chinese medicine that does not require decoction can be put into capsules, carried with you and taken for a long time; it can also be prepared into a paste for consumption.

7. You can also add an appropriate amount of warm boiled water to the non-decoction Chinese medicine, stir it evenly and use it to fumigate the affected area; you can also add warm water, sesame oil or vinegar, stir it evenly until it becomes a paste, apply the ointment evenly to the affected area, and bandage it appropriately.
