      Add some "substances" to traditional Chinese medicine to reduce toxicity and improve drug rate

  I wonder if you have noticed that sometimes the traditional Chinese medicine taken in the hospital pharmacy is a little "strange": some look sticky, some smell of wine, and even some taste sour. Is the traditional Chinese medicine broken?

  In fact, most of these "strange" Chinese medicines are added with "ingredients".

  "Material" refers to additional raw materials other than the main drug during processing.

  Its nature and composition have a certain impact on the processed medicine, and also have a certain relationship with the clinical efficacy of the processed Chinese medicine.

  Introduce five commonly used liquid accessories: wine, vinegar, honey, salt water and ginger juice.

  [Chinese medicine+wine]

  There are two kinds of medicinal liquor: white liquor and yellow rice wine.

  Yellow rice wine is brewed from grain and contains 15%~20% ethanol. Liquor is distilled after brewing and contains 50%~70% ethanol.

  The processed wine is mainly yellow rice wine, which is used for broiling, steaming, stewing and quenching.

  Liquor is often used to soak medicine.

  The wine is very hot, sweet and spicy. It can promote blood circulation and smooth collaterals, dispel wind and cold, exercise medicine potential, and correct odor and taste.

  After the drug is made by alcohol, it can help to dissolve the ingredients and enhance the curative effect of patients.

  The fishy smell of animals is composed of trimethylamine, amino aldehydes and other components, which can be removed with the volatilization of liquor during liquor making. The liquor has mellow substances such as esters, which can correct the smell and taste.

  Drugs commonly used in wine include Coptis chinensis, Scutellaria baicalensis, rhubarb, white peony, white snake, dogwood, privet fruit, etc.

  [Chinese medicine+vinegar]

  In medicine, rice vinegar and other vinegar contain 4%~6% acetic acid.

  Vinegar can be prepared by frying, steaming, boiling and quenching with vinegar.

  Vinegar tastes sour, bitter and warm. It has the effects of inducing drugs into the liver, regulating qi, stopping bleeding, flowing water, detumescence, detoxification, pain relief, taste and odor correction.

  After the medicine is processed with vinegar, it can be combined with the free alkaloid contained in the medicine to form a salt, so as to increase its solubility, make it easier to decoct the effective ingredients, and improve the curative effect; Vinegar can reduce the toxicity of Euphorbia officinalis and Daphne genkwa.

  Vinegar can combine with fishy trimethylamine to form odorless salt, which can remove the fishy smell of drugs, and then correct the odor.

  In addition, vinegar has the function of sterilization and antisepsis.

  Common vinegar medicines include Corydalis yanhusuo, Gansui, Phytolacca acinosa, Euphorbia officinalis, Daphne genkwa, zedoary, Rhizoma Cyperi, Radix Bupleuri, etc.

  [Chinese medicine+honey]

  The main components of honey are fructose and glucose, accounting for about 70% of honey, but still contain a small amount of sucrose, maltose, minerals, wax, enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and other substances.

  Honey is commonly used in processing. It is mild and sweet in nature, and can replenish dryness, relieve pain, detoxify, correct taste and odor.

  Honey can play a synergistic role with drugs to enhance its effects of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi. It can also correct taste, alleviate side effects of drugs and reduce side effects of drugs.

  Medicines commonly made from honey include astragalus, licorice, mulberry white, loquat leaves, fargesia, aristolochia, etc.

  [Chinese medicine+salt water]

  Salt water is a clear liquid obtained by adding water to dissolve the crystal of salt and filtering it. The main component is sodium chloride, with a small amount of sulfate, magnesium, barium, fluoride, arsenic, lead, etc.

  It is cold in nature, salty in taste, strong in muscle and bone, soft and strong in knot loosening, heat clearing and cold-blooded, detoxification, antisepsis, and odor correcting.

  After salt preparation, the medicine can change its medicinal properties, and enhance its role in nourishing the liver and kidney, nourishing yin, eliminating fire, treating hernia, and relieving pain.

  The medicines often made with salt water include Eucommia ulmoides, fennel, Alpinia, orange seed, plantain seed, etc.

  [Chinese medicine+ginger juice]

  Ginger juice is the juice of fresh ginger roots of the ginger family, or a yellowish white liquid made by boiling dry ginger with proper amount of water to remove the residue, with a pungent smell of ginger.

  Ginger tastes pungent and warm. It has the effects of sweating, relieving exterior symptoms, warming the middle and dispelling cold, reducing adverse reactions and stopping vomiting, warming the lungs, removing phlegm and detoxifying.

  After being processed with ginger juice, it can inhibit the cold nature of the drug, enhance the curative effect and reduce the toxicity.

  Medicines usually made from ginger juice include Coptis chinensis, Pinellia ternate, and Zhuru.

  Other liquid excipients also include licorice juice, black bean juice, sesame oil, and Evodia rutaecarpa juice, which are generally selected according to clinical needs.

  In a word, Chinese medicine should add some "ingredients" to reduce toxicity and increase efficacy. When taking Chinese medicine and encountering "strange" Chinese medicine, first look at your own prescription to see if there is any processed Chinese medicine.

  The name of traditional Chinese medicine is matched with wine, vinegar, honey, etc. You can rest assured that these additives have special effects on traditional Chinese medicine.
