"I accidentally cooked Chinese medicine, can I still eat it?" Can Daqing Puji Chinese Medicine Hospital cook Chinese medicine?

1. When frying traditional Chinese medicine, it is often because of too little water, too much firepower or forgetting the time of frying, which leads to the decoction drying up and even the medicine being fried. So some people add more water when frying for the second time, thinking that they can cook the first time. This practice is wrong.

2. The medicine that has not been fried can still be eaten after adding some water and boiling for a while. However, it destroys the medicinal components of the ointment and reduces the curative effect.

However, some drugs have other effects after being decocted. For example, Schizonepeta tenuifolia is a drug for relieving exterior syndrome, which becomes Schizonepeta tenuifolia charcoal after decoction, losing the function of understanding exterior syndrome, but producing hemostasis; There is also the use of pollen typhae to promote blood circulation and burning pollen typhae charcoal to stop bleeding, which has the opposite effect.
