As an experienced doctor, he has an in-depth understanding and rich practical experience in Chinese medicine. Today, I would like to share with you some knowledge about the preservation of Chinese herbal decoction to help you better appreciate the charm of Chinese medicine.
First of all, we need to understand the composition and properties of Chinese herbal decoctions.
Traditional Chinese medicine decoction is a liquid medicine made by decoction of a variety of Chinese herbs, and its composition is relatively complex, containing a variety of volatile substances and nutrients. Therefore, the preservation of decoction is essential to maintain its efficacy and quality.
So, how long can the decoction last? Generally speaking, if the decoction is placed in a cool, dry, ventilated place and away from direct sunlight, it can be stored for a few days to several weeks. However, the specific storage time also depends on a variety of factors, such as the prescription, the quality of the herbs, the decoction method and the storage conditions.
In order to better preserve the decoction of Chinese medicine, we need to take some measures. First of all, the decoction of Chinese medicine should be filtered in time and placed in a clean container.
Secondly, the container should be tightly capped and stored in a cool, dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. In addition, the container should be closed tightly after each use to avoid contamination by air and bacteria.
In addition to the way of preservation, there are some precautions that we need to pay attention to. First of all, the decoction of Chinese medicine should avoid contact with harmful substances such as metals and plastics, so as not to cause chemical reactions that affect the efficacy of the medicine. Secondly, if there are ingredients such as honey and sugar in the decoction that are easy to ferment, they should be avoided and stored in a high-temperature environment to avoid fermentation and deterioration. Finally, if it is found that the decoction of Chinese medicine has peculiar smell, discoloration, mildew, etc., it should be discarded in time to avoid affecting human health.
