Why do you want to put a few slices of ginger before boiling Chinese medicine?

When Chinese medicine opens soup, sometimes it will tell the patient to put a few pieces of ginger out when they are decocted. This can play a role in conditioning the taste and detoxification.

Ginger tastes warm and has the effects of sweating, warming, vomiting, warming lung and relieving cough, resolving fish and crab poison and drug poisoning. It is rarely used to treat exogenous cold and stomach cold and vomiting. It is called "vomiting holy medicine". Clinically, when using ephedra, cassia twig, scorpion, etc. to treat cold and cold, or use Pinellia, Zhuru, etc. to reduce vomiting, ginger can be added. Because ginger has an extraordinary aroma, it may regulate the taste of medicine, and it has the function of detoxification. Therefore, when using drugs with strong toxicity such as Pinellia ternata and Tiannanxing, adding ginger may alleviate its toxicity; frankincense, myrrh Other medicines are rich in flavor, and some Chinese medicines are bitter or poor in mouthfeel, difficult to take, and even when the patient takes refusal and vomiting, adding excessive ginger can prevent remission.

It is common to use ginger to cut 3~5 pieces (about 6~9 grams) into the medicine pot and cook them together before boiling the remaining pieces. However, patients who are often prone to excitement, redness or high blood pressure, as well as those suffering from acne, gastroduodenal ulcers and insomnia should be used with caution.

  In addition to putting ginger, what effect should you pay attention to before cooking Chinese medicine?

Do not wash before boiling Chinese medicine

Do not wash the Chinese medicine before boiling. This is because:

1. Washing can make the water-soluble components of the medicinal materials fall: Because many medicinal materials contain sugars and mites, they can be dissolved in water. After washing with water, some of the active ingredients will be lost, resulting in an increase in drug efficacy.

2, washing can make powder medicines lost: many Chinese medicines are powders, and some need to be broken when dispensing, such as peach kernel, keel, talcum powder, etc., assuming water washing, will form the loss of these drugs.

3, washing can cause some of the medicinal materials to be lost: because some medicinal materials in the process of processing from the honey, wine, bile and other accessories, and these materials are easily soluble in water, if washed with water, can cause some of the accessories lost. Such as rare herbs in the gallbladder star, wine rhubarb and so on.

Therefore, before decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, it is not advisable to rinse the medicine with water, so as to avoid the loss of the composition of the medicine and affect the efficacy of the medicine.

What should I pay attention to before cooking Chinese medicine?

1, with a pot

There are many aspects to be aware of when it comes to the time-consuming needs of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, like fire and pot, experts suggest that most Chinese medicines must be used for simmering, but some medicines require short periods of fire. In general, most of the long-term needs are tonics, while short-term drugs are mostly laxatives and cold medicines. Different Chinese medicines must be fried in different modes. At the same time, in the time of Chinese medicine, there is a way to pay attention to the pot, it is best to use a casserole.

This is because the casserole is evenly heated, and its rolling is like a wave during the cooking process, but it has an impact force and is evenly stressed. It is also possible to always stir with chopsticks during the time of peony, so that the ability to fully boil the ingredients in it.

2, boiled water

In the time of Chinese medicine, there is also a certain emphasis on water. Experts suggest that it is best to use Chinese medicine in boiled water. At the beginning, many people were easy to walk into a misunderstanding when they were taking Chinese medicine. That is to indirectly take the tap water medicine. This is a very wrong method. In fact, the water of the peony is best to use the boiled water to cool it and then use it. This is because most of the tap water is disinfected with chlorine, but it has been severely filtered but there are still more or less residues. Ingredients can have a significant impact on the efficacy of the drug.

Moreover, most of the tap water contains a small amount of calcium and magnesium ions, and these components are easily reacted with the compounds in the medicinal materials, thereby greatly affecting the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials themselves.

3, open the cover and close the cover

At the time of sputum Chinese medicine, you should pay attention to the process of opening and closing the cover, especially some volatile chemicals. If you close the lid during the peony period, it will cause the active ingredients to be distributed to the air with water vapor. Will lead to a significant reduction in efficacy. There are also some drugs that dissolve the table or aromatize the wet type, such as peppermint, sage, musk, etc. These drugs should not be too long in the time of sputum, otherwise the drug will be lost.

As for some tonic drugs, such as ginseng, velvet antler, and American ginseng, it is best to put them in a container and simmer for a long time with a small fire, so that the ability is sufficient for the drug to be fully precipitated. At the same time, it is best to cover the lid to prevent the drug component from being lost with water vapor in the slow-burning period.

4, drug-distributing

In the time of Chinese medicine, it is necessary to pay attention to distinguishing the medicinal properties. Shellfish, minerals, and bones are best fried first, then slowly. Experts suggest that it is best to administer these drugs for 10 minutes before adding other drugs. Chinese medicine points out that some prescriptions require Chinese medicine to be fried after the decocting, as long as the ability is exhausted in the future.

Before you fry Chinese medicine, you must pay attention to the above matters.
