How to preserve traditional Chinese medicine decoction?

We found that the time required for the liquids to be indicated on the sealed vacuum bags by hospitals and pharmacies was not the same. There have been such studies in which different prescriptions were stored under different temperature conditions. By observing the degree of deterioration of the juice, the measurement items such as odor, turbidity, mold and acidity were recorded. It was found that the higher the temperature, the faster the deterioration of the liquid. In the high temperature season, the room temperature is above 25 °C, and the general decoction is not stored for more than 2 days. If it is refrigerated, it will generally be stored for 7 days without deterioration. In addition, even under the same conditions, different decoctions have a large difference in the degree of metamorphism. If the content of starch, protein, sugar and the like in the liquid is large, the deterioration is faster.

In order to ensure the safe use of drugs, the optimal temperature for the preservation of vacuum-packed traditional Chinese medicine decoction is 0~5°C, and the storage time is 7~14 days, but it is best not to exceed 7 days. On the one hand, because the soup is cooked, it is often stored at room temperature for half a day until it is refrigerated. This will “accelerate” the deterioration of the soup. On the other hand, if the soup is boiled, it contains all the cockroaches, cockroaches, etc. Animal Chinese medicine or Chinese medicines with high sugar content such as rehmannia and jaundice may also affect the preservation time. If it is found that the liquid medicine bag is bulging or the liquid medicine is odorous, abnormal phenomena such as air bubbles are deteriorated and cannot be taken.

If it is a Chinese medicine decoction filled with the utensils provided by yourself, it is generally not recommended to take it overnight. Even if it is placed in the freezer of the refrigerator, it should not exceed 3 days, so as to prevent the deterioration of the liquid medicine from affecting health.

It is recommended that you take Chinese medicine on the same day and take it on the same day to ensure the quality and ensure the efficacy.

In order to exert the effect of the drug, it is necessary to pay attention to the time of administration, and the time of taking different drugs is not the same.

When is it best to drink Chinese medicine?

1, fasting service. Also known as Pingdan clothing, refers to taking medicine before eating in the morning. The nourishing soup should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning to facilitate full absorption. Drugs used for deworming or treating blood vessels of the extremities should also be taken on an empty stomach. This allows the drug to enter the intestine quickly and maintain a high concentration to quickly exert its effects. The same is true for soups with a diarrhea effect to enhance the efficacy.

2, before serving. Usually take 30 to 60 minutes before meals. The patient is in the lower position and should take the medicine before meals so that the medicine can be easily released, such as liver and kidney deficiency or diseases below the waist. For the treatment of intestinal diseases, it is also advisable to take the medicine before meals. Because, in the stomach empty state, the drug solution can directly contact the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, and pass through the stomach into the intestine faster, so that it is absorbed more and plays a role, and is not affected by the dilution of the food in the stomach and affects the drug effect.

3, after meals. Usually take 15 to 30 minutes after meals. The disease is on the top and should be taken after meals. Such as the treatment of heart and lung chest, stomach cramps and above, should take medicine after meals, can make the drug up. A drug that is irritating to the stomach and intestines can reduce damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa after taking it.

4, before going to bed. Usually taken 15 to 30 minutes before going to bed. The medicine for replenishing the heart, calming the mind, calming and sleeping can be taken at this time. In addition, some western medicines such as hypnotics, anthelmintics and anti-allergic drugs should generally be taken half an hour before going to sleep at night.
