As for Chinese medicine, I don't recommend you to soak it. On the one hand, the soaking water temperature is getting colder and colder, and there is no way to give full play to the efficacy. On the other hand, it is better to cook than to soak.
I used to like to cook this astragalus water when I was free. They were all boiled in water for a long time, and then I added brown sugar or rock sugar to drink. It tastes okay! I really haven't tried soaking like that.
If you want to give full play to the efficacy of Astragalus membranaceus, you can buy a portable health pot to cook, just plug it in and let it cook by itself, and then turn it off automatically! Very convenient.
Astragalus membranaceus is usually cooked with literary and art parties, medlar and red dates, especially those girls with cold hands and dead hands in winter, so they must drink more. Because this thing tonifies qi, it is very helpful to people with yang deficiency. After drinking all winter, my hands and feet will not be so cold next year.
How can I put it? This kind of thing is very expensive to persist. If you can't stick to it and want it to work as fast as western medicine, don't be busy, because that is definitely impossible. Chinese medicine we buy is different from western medicine. Western medicine is a palliative, Chinese medicine is a permanent cure, and it will definitely be more troublesome.
I have seen many people buy Chinese medicine for a long time. Do you have any wood?
Astragalus membranaceus is also a kind of Chinese medicine, so it must be cooked. If you soak it, it won't have much effect. If you soak it ten times and eight times, it may not be as useful as boiling it once.
Buy a pot and cook it. If you drink it for a long time, you will feel bored! You can try to buy some lean meat, cut it thin and cook it together. The broth is delicious, but remember, you should add salt to the meat at the end of the soup, not sugar. ...
