So I often cook Chinese medicine myself. Can the cooked Chinese medicine be put in a stainless steel basin? Give your own opinion. Traditional Chinese medicine can be boiled in stainless steel pots. However, if there is a casserole or ceramic pot, it is not recommended to use a stainless steel basin, because the stainless steel basin will precipitate after radiating metals such as blocks and iron, which will reduce the solubility and even cause chemical changes and side effects. At present, it is advocated to use ceramics and crocks instead of iron pots and copper pots. It is best not to use aluminum pot, stainless steel and enamel containers to decoct drugs, so as to ensure the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine.
Because stainless steel belongs to metal, and there are many organic compounds in traditional Chinese medicine, these compounds may react with the metal components in stainless steel. The suggestion is that you need to use ceramic pot or casserole to cook Chinese medicine. If there is no casserole or ceramic pot, you can use stainless steel. From the point of chemical reaction, it is possible to use stainless steel. Of course, iron, aluminum and copper pots are also not suitable for use, which are easy to react with Chinese medicine ingredients and affect the curative effect.
No matter how western medicine develops, it will never replace Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is a natural subject, and weather and geography affect human survival and health all the time. Chinese herbal medicines can be found everywhere, which is economical and practical with few side effects. In recent years, Miao medicine and Tibetan medicine have developed rapidly. In fact, after further investigation and analysis, although the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine on diseases is slow, it uses natural organic and inorganic substances with little or no side effects.
