Let's take a look at what pots should be used in Chinese medicine. We all know that Chinese medicine is superior to Western medicine in the treatment of certain diseases, which is why many people still see Chinese medicine. However, the drug needs to be tortured when taken. Most people may not understand the method of decocting, thinking that the steps of decocting are very complicated. In fact, Chinese medicine is a very important job, especially the selection of utensils during the decocting is very important. What pot should I use?
Chinese medicine extracted from casserole is better
From the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine extracted from casserole or clay pot has a good effect. The quality of traditional Chinese medicine decoction has a close relationship with the selected utensils. The choice of casserole is because the stability of its data does not chemically react with the components of the drug, and its heat transfer is uniform, which is one of the reasons that has been followed since ancient times.
In addition, you can also use enamel pots, stainless steel pots, glass frying pots, etc., but iron pots, copper pots, aluminum pots, tin pots can not be used, the first is because the chemical nature of iron pots or copper pots is unstable, easy to oxidize, fry There is a chemical reaction between the two drugs. For example, iron citrate can be formed with the components of the enamel to deepen the color of the liquid, and the flavonoid component can form a difficult-to-capacity polymer, and the organic acid component can form a salt. These will affect the quality of the drug and directly affect the clinical effect of the Chinese medicine decoction.
It should be noted that if the casserole is suddenly heated or cold, it will form a crack. Therefore, the casserole that has just been fried should not be washed immediately with cold water. After cooling with boring wood or shelves, remove the dirt. The oil stains on the casserole should not be soaked with detergent to avoid entering the hole, can be scrubbed with the remaining tea residue, or immersed in the rice water, and then washed with a brush.
