Discussion on some problems of traditional Chinese medicine decocting methods in China
Objective:To provide reference opinions for modern patient decoction methods.Method:By organizing and analyzing 375 guidance documents on traditional Chinese medicine decoction published by multiple regional medical institutions across the country,and referring to the medication experience and modern research results in the ancient Treatise on Febrile Diseases,select prescriptions from medical institutions in the eastern,western,southern,and northern regions of China,and compare and analyze five issues:the amount of water added to decoction,the soaking time before decoction,the method of boiling with fire,the time and frequency of decoction.Results:①The appropriate amount of water to be added should be a ratio of 1∶7-8 by weight of the medicine.②Soak for 30-60 minutes before decoction.③The method of boiling with fire is to first heat the medicine with high heat until it boils,then turn to low heat to maintain it at the'critical level'of low boiling.④The total duration of decoction should be 30-60 minutes,and the number of decoction times should depend on the amount of medicine needed.⑤It is best to communicate with a doctor or professional before decoction to help patients better grasp the precautions for decoction.Conclusion:At present,the situation of individual drug decocting in China is very complicated,with great differences and randomness.Comparing with ancient experience and modern scientific research results,it is not difficult to see that the rationality of many operations is worth discussing.
