The distinction between long and short boiling time of traditional Chinese medicine

2. Traditional Chinese medicine is composed of plants, flowers, grass, leaves, stems, roots, fruits and insects, animal tissues and minerals. According to the quality of the drug, the content of the active ingredient and the degree of volatilization are also different. In order to fully decompose the active ingredients of the drug, it is necessary to take different cooking time for different quality drugs, so that all kinds of drugs can exert their proper effects.

Drugs with divergent effects such as Magnolia, Mint, Schizonepeta, Asarum, etc. and flowering drugs such as chrysanthemum, safflower, honeysuckle, acacia, etc. should not be too long. If the boiling time is too long, the active ingredients in the medicine will be destroyed or volatilized and will not reach the therapeutic purpose. And some mineral drugs such as magnetite vermiculite, raw gypsum, mirabilite, keel, oyster, Fulong liver and some fruits, rhizomes, such as Shouwu, spatholobus, betel nut, medlar, bitter, etc. Longer, because these drugs are hard and the boiling time is too short, it is difficult to fry the active ingredients and fail to achieve therapeutic goals. There are also some drugs such as Aconit, Shanglu, Yuanzhi, etc., in order to remove their toxicity and dryness, they also need to be boiled for a longer period of time. For those vegetables such as grass, leaves, stems, fruit, etc., the cooking time is moderate.

In addition, some processed drugs, such as gelatin, staghorn gum, etc. are not suitable for decoction with drugs. After the combination, it is necessary to add the fried liquid to the same or take it alone. The decoction time of the drug should be determined according to the texture and traits of the drug and the doctor's sputum, so as to better play the therapeutic effect of the traditional Chinese medicine.
