Relatively speaking, the effect of self-cooked traditional Chinese medicine is more reliable, but the granules of traditional Chinese medicine are a bit irregular, because the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is very particular. If it is not so particular, it will make the medicine lose its overall function. For example, some drugs are first cooked with slow fire, then with fierce fire, or they are first boiled and then taken, but the granules of traditional Chinese medicine are not so particular, so the effect is not necessarily better than that of boiled traditional Chinese medicine!
