Some people often choose traditional Chinese medicines that have been decocted and packaged because they cannot boil them. However, as we all know, this method will halve the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicines and fail to achieve the actual effect. Parents who do not want to reduce the efficacy of the medicine can choose the automatic decoction pot.
How to use the automatic decoction pot
The automatic decoction pot, as the name implies, does not need to do anything, it is fully automatic decoction, but it does not mean that only Just put it in.
First of all, there are many kinds of traditional Chinese medicine. If there are many finely divided medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine, it is recommended to wrap the medicinal materials in gauze bags before decoction.
Secondly, it is best to soak the traditional Chinese medicine for half an hour and then put it in the decoction pot. After half an hour, pour the medicinal materials into the bubble.
The last step is to decoct the herbs, put the herbs into the decoction pot, put about 2 and a half bowls of water, plug in the power supply, the red light is for decoction, usually about 2 hours, after frying it will automatically Jump to the green light.
Generally, a pair of medicine is decocted twice. After the first decocting, the medicine is poured out. .
What are the advantages of the automatic electric decoction pot
As long as it is operated according to the specifications, the quality of the medicine can be fully guaranteed.
1. Cook at high temperature.
The temperature of the fully automatic electric decoction pot can reach above 110 degrees Celsius or even higher, and the dissolution rate of the active ingredients of the traditional Chinese medicine has been greatly improved, which is not achieved by the traditional decoction method. arrived.
2. Fully sealed operation.
The automatic electric decoction pot is fully enclosed with a stainless steel inner tank with stable physical and chemical properties, which can prevent the escape of some volatile oils of traditional Chinese medicine and other active ingredients to the greatest extent, and increase the concentration of active ingredients as much as possible , and correspondingly improve the quality of traditional Chinese medicine solution.
3. Reduce oxidation failure.
In fact, the traditional Chinese medicine decocting method is easy to be oxidized by oxygen to deepen the color because the traditional Chinese medicine is completely exposed to the air and high temperature decoction. , and this dark color is precisely caused by the components that have been oxidized and failed, and the automatic electric decoction pot is isolated from the air when decocting traditional Chinese medicine, which can prevent some effective components of traditional Chinese medicine from being oxidized in the air. Increase the content of active ingredients.
Frying first and then lowering can be overcome by technical means. For example, in the traditional method of decoction of traditional Chinese medicine, because the temperature in the decoction pot is low (not more than 100 degrees Celsius), in order to increase the dissolution rate of the active ingredients, the decoction time needs to be increased, so it needs to be decoction first; some medicines contain volatile oil and other active ingredients, Decoction for a long time will cause these components to volatilize and affect the curative effect, so there is a special decoction method, that is, such drugs are added about 10 minutes before the first decoction is out of the pot. In this regard, the decoction machine can completely solve the above problems through high temperature and sealing, so the dissolution rate of the active ingredients of the traditional Chinese medicine decoction with the automatic decoction machine is higher, and the curative effect is correspondingly more guaranteed.
Disadvantages of traditional decoction pots
1. Decoction of medicinal materials requires firewood, which is not particularly convenient for general big cities.
2. Someone needs to watch the decoction of the medicinal materials to prevent the medicinal materials from drying out and losing their efficacy.
3. The decoction equipment is relatively heavy, which is not only unfavorable for cleaning, but also cannot guarantee the efficacy of the medicinal materials, and cannot reasonably control the change of the heat.
