1, how to boil traditional Chinese medicine with water
1, traditional water addition method
Put the traditional Chinese medicine into a casserole, spread it out by hand, and then add water until it is 3 ~ 4 cm higher than the medicine surface (the height of the little finger). This method is the simplest and most convenient, but the accuracy is slightly poor.
2. Gravimetric water method
That is, according to the total weight of drugs, determine the amount of water added. Weigh 1 plaster (dosage) of the prepared traditional Chinese medicine, and add 65% of the calculated total water to the first decoction according to the principle of 1 g of traditional Chinese medicine and 10 ml of water, and keep the remaining 35% for the second decoction. For example, the nourishing and conditioning drug, Ginseng Yang Rong Decoction, has a total weight of 1.50g, and the added water should be1.500ml. The water for the first decoction should be 975ml, and the water for the second decoction should be 525ml and 35% water. This method adds water accurately, especially for Chinese patent medicines with many kinds of drugs and large dosage. Although this method is more troublesome than the above two methods, it is more accurate.
3, the method of measuring water quantity
That is, add water into a measuring cup or cylinder, and add different amounts of water according to different therapeutic drugs and their first decoction and second decoction. According to the regulations of Shanghai Chinese Herbal Medicine Company, the amount of water added for decocting various medicinal materials is: 700-900 ml for the first time and 400-450 ml for the second time; General drugs (usually traditional Chinese medicines for treating various diseases) are decocted 500-700 ml for the first time and 300-350 ml for the second time; The medicine for relieving exterior syndrome and treating cold is 400-600 ml for the first time and 280-300 ml for the second time. This method is more accurate than the traditional method of adding water, but if the dosage is large, the amount of water added will be less.
In addition, if there are many kinds of flowers (such as stable flowers, bagged flowers, etc. ) and leaves (such as mulberry leaves and loquat leaves). ) in medicine, you can add more water in moderation.
When hot water rushes into the crude drug, the outer tissue of the crude drug immediately solidifies and contracts due to the sudden impact of high temperature. In particular, protein forms an irreversible denatured layer on the cell wall, which hinders the infiltration of water and makes it difficult to dissolve the dissolved effective components in the tissue, thus greatly affecting the dissolution rate of the effective components. Therefore, it is forbidden to add water when decocting.
