Whether the soaking time, utensils and frequency of traditional Chinese medicine are appropriate has a great relationship with its curative effect. If the brewing time is short, the active ingredients of the drug cannot be brewed out, which affects the therapeutic effect; if the brewing time is too long, the active ingredients (such as volatile components) will be damaged or lost.

Drinking time and times:

Brewing time: According to the different characteristics of various medicines, there should be different times, which can better soak the active ingredients and retain the active ingredients. Initial bubble 5-10min. Second soak for 10-20min. The third and fourth soaking can be up to 30min-50min, which can make the medicinal juice thick and the medicinal effect lasts. If the amount of medicine is large, it can be appropriately increased by 3 or 5 minutes, and if it is small, it can be shortened a little. If the soaking time is too long, the taste of the medicine will be affected, and the strong concoction will affect the permeability of water molecules to the cell wall.

Drink 3-4 times for general medicines, and 4-6 times for tonic or hard-textured medicines. The research on the number of bubble drinks is generally consistent, the first bubble rate is about 30%, the second bubble is 40% to 50%, and the two combined can get 70% to 80%. The three bubbles, four bubbles only accounted for 20%. Drinking utensils: Special utensils for traditional Chinese medicine can be selected. Such as Health Eco Cup, Sinopharm Yishou Cup, Sinopharm Health Cup, etc.
