Xu Lingtai, a famous medical scientist in the Qing Dynasty once said: “The cure will not heal. If you are ill and cannot take it according to the law, it will not be particularly ineffective, but harmful…” It can be seen that if you want to “medicine until the disease is cured”, in addition to the dialectical treatment of the doctor, the rigorous adjustment of the pharmacist, and the careful decoction, it is correct. The way of taking the medicine is also very important. Let us talk about the correct way of taking the traditional Chinese medicine decoction.
/p>
Traditional Chinese medicine decoction generally needs to be boiled twice, then the first The first decoction is combined with the second decoction, and the combined medicinal solution is divided into morning and evening for two doses. 200ml each time is appropriate, but there are exceptions for some conditions.
- Fever When detoxifying drugs, the liquid can be slightly more to help the drug; Also should be more, and can be taken frequently instead of tea;
- medicines for colds, fever, enteritis, diarrhea, It can also be taken frequently, that is, once every 4 hours, 30 to 40 ml each time, until the disease is cured, and then changed to 2 to 3 times a day. .
- Small and frequent for children
Decoction should be used in the treatment of general diseaseswarming method span>, if there are special requirements, it should be taken according to the special requirements.
When taking a detoxifying agent, it is necessary to dissipate the pathogens from the body in the form of sweating. Therefore, it is necessary to take warm clothes, or to wear more clothes after taking it, cover a quilt, or take hot porridge while taking the medicine. It is better to sweat slightly after taking the medicine. It is not advisable to sweat insufficiently or excessively. Stop taking the medicine after sweating, and avoid cold and greasy food;
When taking purgatives, stop taking them after they are effective, because purgatives are particularly easy to damage the righteousness. It can be supplemented with qi-invigorating products such as jujube; Slightly complicated. For people who are hot and evil and will vomit as soon as they take the medicine, they can take the hot medicine after letting it cool down to prevent vomiting. In a similar situation, people who take warm medicines with too much Yin and cold may spit out the medicine as soon as they enter the mouth. They can also take hot medicines cold to avoid rejection. ;

Digestives should not be taken for a long time;
After drug poisoning, it is advisable to take the rescue medicine cold.
< span>The duration of medication is generally determined by the location of the patient. my country’s first pharmacology monograph “Shen Nong’s Materia Medica” records that: “If the disease is above the thoracic diaphragm, it is recommended to eat first and then take medicine”, commonly known as “medicine pressing rice”; For those with burnt (bladder, intestines), to make the drug effect quickly release, it should be taken before meals, commonly known as “rice-pressing drugs”; heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs, intestinal laxative drugs, and nourishing drugs should be taken on an empty stomach, at this time, the stomach is empty and easy to absorb. Special medicines should be taken specially.
- If digestive medicines are taken, a small amount of food should be taken to help them work; li>
- Deworming medicine should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, and drink some sugar water before taking the medicine, so as to improve the insecticidal effect;

- more chronic diseases Those who take pills, powders, ointments, and wine should take them regularly.
- If you have difficulty sweating, you can shorten the time of taking the medicine to facilitate sweating.
The taboos in diet are also called “taboos”. span>Generally refers to avoid eating cold, greasy, irritating, indigestible and other foods, especially mung beans, strong tea, etc. The direction of emphasis is slightly different depending on the condition, such as
- Cold STDs should not be avoided Eat raw and cold,
- avoid spicy and greasy food;

Of course, along with proper “taboos”, nutrition should also be strengthened to make the body recover sooner. In addition to the above precautions, if you take other drugs at the same time in clinical application, you should pay attention to: whether there is any incompatibility between Chinese and Western patent medicine ingredients and decoction; whether there is synergistic or antagonistic effect in combined medication, etc.; Please consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking it. After mastering the above methods, you can make better use of medicinal properties and achieve better therapeutic effects.
