Chapter 18 Decoction and Preparation
"Is it that bitter?" Looking at Yue Sheng Yao's tangled and distorted face, Tan Ze smelled the smell wafting in the air and whispered.
Isn't it just drinking a Chinese medicine, how does it feel like drinking poison?
"Bitter, this soup is made from medicinal roots and fruits, in order to ward off the cold, ginger is put in it, it is not only bitter but also spicy, do you want to taste it." Just finished washing the dishes, passing by them, I happened to hear Tan Ze's whisper, and Lu Lin explained in a good voice.
"No... No, I still drink plain water. ”
Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but hearing his aunt's seductive words, Tan Ze suddenly sensed a trace of malice.
He's better to be honest and well-behaved, don't cause trouble!
"Haha, let's go to bed first, and you guys remember to go to bed early." There are two children at home, and the mood is inexplicably much more relaxed, rubbing Tan Ze's soft hair, and asking with concern.
"I'm sorry!"
Watching the uncle and aunt leave one after another, Tan Ze looked at her squirmed and apologized shyly.
This is the first time he has apologized!
He was the boss in the military academy, leading a group of lawless boys, spoiled by his grandparents, but he realized the shortcomings when he came here.
But a manly man, since he is wrong, he will change it, it's not a big deal.
"Hmm!"
Looking at the young man in front of him, Yuesheng's deep pupils carried a hint of envy.
It is a very happy thing to be petted!
She had never experienced it, and she did not dare to touch it, and from the standpoint of a bystander, she was jealous.
Someone shelters you from the wind and rain when you are doing nonsense, and someone plans for the future for you when you are not enterprising, how good!
Pampering, it's really exciting......
As the night deepens, people who have worked hard all day lie in bed, and under the double blowing of the breeze and the fan, they slowly fall asleep.
Frogs croaked by the pond, and small mosquitoes that came out at night were bold enough to suck fresh blood.
Day after day passes, and they are getting more and more compatible with each other.
Yuesheng sat leisurely in the shade of the tree, holding a "Compendium of Materia Medica" in her hand, and read it with relish.
These days were the happiest times for her, and she had never felt so warm in her previous life or in this life.
The aunt taught her to read, her uncle taught her Chinese medicine, Tan Ze gave her fun, and the warmth paralyzed her nerves, so she wanted to immerse herself in it.
Desire is constantly expanding, if you don't have it, you won't look forward to it, but if you have it, you want to hold it tightly in your hands, and you don't want to give it up.
"Haruka, what do you want?" After washing her clothes, Lu Lin looked at her in a daze, rubbed her carefully cared for hair, and asked softly.
It's been so long, why are you still so staying!
It seems that it is still necessary to make up for it, although there is some flesh on the face and the skin is much whiter, but the body still seems to be a little weak.
"Chinese medicine boiling?" He raised his head and bared his teeth shyly, looked at the kind little aunt softly, and said a few words in a clear voice.
I don't know if it's the sequelae, although my voice is much better, I can only say a few words every time I speak.
Uncle Tan said it was a closed-mouth barrier!
It's good to be concise and clear, not to waste saliva, and to save effort.
"So studious, don't you take a break?" Knowing what she meant, he took the book in her hand and asked with a smile.
If you haven't endured hardship, you won't understand the importance of time.
Only children who have endured hardships understand the importance of knowledge and know how to grasp every minute and every second to learn.
But it's not right to read all the time, the eyes are the windows of the soul, she is still young, what if the eyes are broken?
He shook his head lightly and looked at Lu Lin expectantly, his eyes full of light.
It's better to read a book, especially to see what interests you.
She now finds Chinese herbal medicine very interesting, such as "Shennong's Materia Medica" summarizes the compatibility relationship between drugs and "there are unilateral walkers, there are those who have a beard, there are messengers, there are those who fear each other, there are evildoers, there are opposites, there are killers, these seven feelings!" ”
But there seems to be some contradiction!
Contraindications of traditional Chinese medicine include compatibility contraindications, syndrome contraindications, pregnancy contraindications, and dietary contraindications when taking medicine.
There can be many combinations of different herbs, but each group has completely opposite effects.
She enjoyed studying interesting recipes and learning about the love and killing of various medicines, but she was just getting started, and she didn't know much about the basics, so she was ready to start learning from decoctions.
Because the prescription is right, but if the decoction method is wrong, it may also fall short.
Whatever you like, you're happy to do whatever you do!
"You! I'll tell you about it, listen well! Slender fingers pointed at Yuesheng Yao's small nose, and Lu Lin said in a doting tone.
The reason why traditional Chinese medicine is not popular in practice is not only because of the slow effect and long treatment phase, but also because of the laborious process.
To boil traditional Chinese medicine, we must choose a good container, crockpot, and clay pot have the best effect, they conduct heat more slowly, heat more evenly, and have a good heat preservation effect; At the same time, remember to use metal utensils, because metal utensils are easy to boil the water dry, and metal may react with the ingredients in the drug, producing toxins and causing harm to the body.
After the utensils are selected, the next step is to classify the Chinese medicines in the prescription according to the different textures and decoction methods.
For example, some active ingredients are insoluble in water, some gold, minerals, and shellfish drugs should be broken and decocted first, boiled for 20~30 minutes, and then decocted with other drugs, but there are also some special drugs, such as aconite, aconitum and other drugs with strong toxic side effects, it is advisable to decoction for 45~60 minutes before other drugs to ensure that the toxicity is reduced.
Some drugs with aromatic smell need to be put in after boiling for 5~10 minutes after other drugs; Drugs with strong adhesion, powder and fluff should be packed in gauze bags first, and then decocted together, which is the so-called bag decoction; Valuable herbs such as ginseng, American ginseng, antelope horn, elk, deer antler velvet, etc., need to be decocted separately and can be taken separately or in combination.
In addition to these, there are different decoction methods, such as melting, soaking, brewing, and decoction with water.
"Take your time, don't rush!" Lu Lin sat leisurely in the shade of the tree, looking at the confusion revealed in Yue Shengyao's eyes, and said with relief.
She is new to this thing, and she definitely needs to adapt to it, as long as she persists in everything and puts in the effort, she will definitely achieve corresponding achievements.
"When to take the medication?" Yue Sheng Yao nodded, her confused eyes gradually cleared, thinking that she had followed Uncle Tan a few days ago, and seeing that the medication time he instructed the patients was different, she couldn't help but ask.
Is it at different stages, the time and method of medication are different.
"Generally speaking, those who are sick above the chest and diaphragm, such as dizziness, headache, eye disease, sore throat, etc., should take it after meals; If the disease is below the chest and abdomen, such as stomach, liver, kidney and other organ diseases, it is advisable to take it before meals; Drugs that are irritating to the stomach and intestines should be taken after meals; Tonic pills taken on an empty stomach; tranquilizers should be taken before bedtime; Chronic diseases, regular taking, etc. ”
She has a husband who knows how to heal, and as a wife, she also knows a little bit about fur.
Broad and profound academics!
It's really exciting......
"Hmm!"
Hearing Lu Lin's elaborate explanation, Yuesheng nodded as if she didn't understand.
It's not easy to do anything, it takes a lot of effort.
Just listening to it makes me feel so troublesome, and I'm afraid it's even more irritating to learn, but she won't give up!
The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds......
