Decoction method and precautions:
Note:
1. All traditional Chinese medicines (including granules and proprietary Chinese medicines), except for a very small number of special requirements, need to be taken half an hour to an hour after meals, all need to be taken warmly, not allowed to take cold, only need to drink a small amount (adults 50 to 100 ml or so, children and young children a few bites or a few tablespoons can be), are not allowed to drink the precipitates and residue foam in the medicine.
2. Drugs with ephedra, generally pay attention to the morning after meals and lunch after taking (except for cold medicines), a very few people may appear after taking panic, dry mouth, bitter mouth, insomnia and other reactions, if not serious, do not need to be nervous, if more serious, you can concentrate and then drink less, you can ephedra for a long time to fry to foam, more serious, then stop the drug.
3. Drugs with "black smooth tablets, appendages, fine spices", generally should open the lid of the pot to boil the medicine, first fry for half an hour, if the time is limited, you can also not fry first, all the drug water on low heat fry for more than 50 minutes, pay attention not to drink the medicine foam residue.
4. General drugs can be fried twice, mixed together, divided into two to three times after meals a small amount of warm serving. You can also drink twice and take warm food after breakfast and dinner twice. If the patient is busy and has no time, you can also add more water to a medicine, only boil once, boil for one and a half hours, filter out three times or install in a thermos cup and take it several times.
5. Remove the residue and fry or go to the decoction and then fry the meaning is that one medicine is boiled twice, the two times the liquid medicine is mixed together, the slag is removed, and then the liquid medicine is boiled for about 15 minutes, boiled out of a bowl, divided into two to three times after a meal a small amount of warm service. (Children should reduce the amount as appropriate and boil out less than half a bowl)
5. Spiral flowers, substitute ochre, amaranth, talc, red stone fat and the like, need to wrap the fried drug, must be wrapped with fine gauze wrapped firm, otherwise individual patients even if the package is fried, it is also prone to symptoms such as stomach discomfort (especially need to pay attention to the spiral flower).
6. If the prescription contains "rhubarb, glauber's salt" and other laxative drugs, it should be noted that after taking the drug, there may be abdominal pain or even diarrhea and loose stool, as long as it is not serious, there is no need to panic. If the abdominal pain and diarrhea are serious, the amount of "rhubarb and glauber's salt" can be appropriately reduced, or it can be fried for a longer time or the amount of medicine can be drunk a little less, and it can be treated as appropriate.
7. For the treatment of cold and fever patients, decoction can be simplified, the soaking time can be shorter, the condition of the more urgent soak can be omitted, directly boiled medicine with boiling water, cold medication, different from the general internal medicine medication, can boil out a large bowl, while hot, a small number of times warm, can be taken more than ten times a day, night can also be taken many times, so that the drug power continuously, even if there is ephedra, it is also impossible to avoid day and night morning and night, after taking the medicine, shelter from the wind, let the whole body sweat slightly. The rest of the precautions follow the "Guizhi Soup" side after the attention. If sweating fever subsides, the drug should be stopped or adjusted in time. The same is true for granules, which are all flushed out of the medicine and taken warmly in small quantities and times. If a dose of medicine has been taken and still does not sweat, it can be boiled again according to the situation. In short, it should be flexible and adaptable.
8. The drug introduction is actually medicine, but there is at home, so it is not opened in the hospital pharmacy, all the medicine introduction, all need to be prepared, red dates to medium size dry dates as the standard, need to cut open, if the dates are relatively large, you can put less as appropriate, if the dates are smaller, then put a few more as appropriate. Ginger slices are based on the thickness of a dollar coin and can also be disposed of as appropriate.
9. Granules, if it is taken in one dose a day, can all be boiled with boiling water after concussion mixing and then divided into three times after a small amount of warm after meals. Some pediatric patients, who need to pay for medicine for two days, can mix all the granules of a drug together, divide them into four to six parts (twice or three times a day), and rinse open one part of the warm dose each time (the granules are easy to absorb moisture and clump after contact with the air, and do not affect the consumption). You can also flush them all out, divided into four to six portions, drink one serving at a time, drink it in two days, and pay attention to the fact that this method is easy to deteriorate when the weather is hot.
10. For decoction herbs, you need to pay attention to the fact that you must explain that ginger dates and other medicinal introductions must be put, and the dates need to be cut. Each bag of liquid medicine can be filled with 150 ml, not too much, take still need to be thoroughly warmed after taking, conditional, you can cut open the package to pour out the liquid, heat until boiling and then warm to take.
