It can certainly be powdered and eaten, but not all herbs are suitable for powdering. Not all formulas can be made into a powder to eat either.

First of all, it is the texture of Chinese medicines, such as wolfberry, raw and ripe groundnut, cinnamon, eucommia, hawthorn and so on. Many medicines are particularly sticky due to their high sugar content, or because they are roots, barks, leaves, or grasses, or gold and stone, etc. They are not suitable for powdering, and cannot be powdered at all.

Secondly, there are others with lower medicinal properties and lower medicinal value, and even if they can be made into powder, the dosage would have to be very, very large, and it would be difficult to swallow them at all. Therefore, the point of taking the powder is also lost, such as Tongzhi, Xiaku Cao, Dandelion, Bamboo Leaf and so on.

Another point is that if you buy your own herbal medicines and process them into powder, certain herbal medicines, the machines used to make the powder are also more demanding.

But with the development of science and technology, almost most of the traditional Chinese medicine can be processed through the machine and technology purification methods, for the extraction of the active ingredients, and then tripped over the auxiliary materials, packaging and processing for sale. This is the common decoction-free granules of Chinese medicine on the market. Because of this, if there is a need to make powder to take, you may want to buy these non-decoction granules, plus or minus the matching application, then the above problems can be solved.

Can Chinese herbs be powdered and eaten? The answer is: sure you can.

Nowadays, many pharmacies, drug supermarkets strongly recommend Chinese medicine powder, such as Tianqi powder, astragalus powder and so on. And now many families are also equipped with small Chinese medicine pulverizer. So that the family can be powdered at any time when needed, for some of the family has a chronic disease or stroke sequelae patients and ankylosing spondylitis and other needs of long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine, is more so.

Powdered Chinese medicine has the following advantages: 1. It reduces the cost and saves money for the patient's family. One dose of powdered Chinese medicine can be used as a minimum of three doses.2. Reduces the waste of Chinese herbs, Chinese medicines are usually decocted only 2 or 3 times, and then the dregs are poured away.3. Convenient to take.4. Saves decocting time, powdered Chinese medicines can be taken directly or decocted with water for 5 to 10 minutes. Chinese medicine decoction usually takes 15 to 20 minutes, and tonic decoction takes longer.

Of course, the use of Chinese medicine powder, we should pay attention to the following points: 1, the requirements of Chinese medicine powder to be as fine as possible; 2, used to take the powder of Chinese medicine directly, to ensure that clean, does not contain sediment impurities; 3, since the use of powdered machine powdered Chinese medicine, it is recommended to add water to decoction for 5 to 10 minutes, and filter off the dregs of the medicine to be taken after the compound formula is even more so. 4, on the stomach and intestines digestion is not good, we recommend that the dregs of decoction filtering after 4. For poor digestion, it is recommended to filter the dregs of the decoction and take it.

Complexity of the composition of Chinese medicine, not every kind of Chinese medicine is suitable for powder to eat, such as physicians prescribe requirements for the decoction of Chinese medicine, especially prescribed for the decoction of special requirements, such as the first decoction (hard texture of the Chinese medicine in order to facilitate the dissolution of the active ingredient, poisonous Chinese medicines can be reduced or eliminated toxicity), the latter under the packet of decoction, decoctions, another decoction, rinse, melting, bubbling service. Only by operating according to these special requirements can the efficacy of the formula be guaranteed. The need to decoct all of the Chinese medicine powdered into hollow capsules and according to traditional Chinese medicine decoction method in essence there is a qualitative difference, whether the chemical composition or efficacy are different (traditional Chinese medicine in the process of decoction of more chemical reactions), into the gastrointestinal tract bioavailability is also different, directly powdered to take a greater chance of toxic side effects.

In addition, plant stem medicines and animal herbs that contain much fiber are not suitable for powdering. So whether herbal medicines are decocted or powdered for consumption, it is best to do so under the guidance of a physician.

Some herbs can be powdered and eaten.

The taking of Chinese medicines varies according to the characteristics of the herbs and the requirements in decoction. Generally divided into first decoction, after the next, punch, melting, steamed ...... across the water and other methods. But part of no special requirements of the Chinese medicine can be powdered to eat. Chinese medicine dosage form pills scattered cream Dan in the loose note is the Chinese medicine ground into a fine powder, the other pills is usually eaten Chinese medicine pills (divided into water pills and honey pills) is the Chinese medicine is powdered and added to water or honey made.

After many years of Chinese medicine test, Chinese medicine into powder effect is better, and the amount is one-third of the decoction. Chinese medicine decoction utilization rate of the best results to reach 36%, indicating that many ingredients do not come out of the decoction, Chinese medicine into powder, saving the amount of medicine, strong efficacy, processed into a capsule easy to take, easy to carry, is the direction of the reform of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine powdering, I commonly used. A lot of patients can not drink Chinese medicine, I selected easy to powdered herbs, with a combination of patients are happy to accept, easy to adhere to; in addition, patients with chronic diseases, long-term drinking of traditional Chinese medicine is also unrealistic, powdering or honey or capsules easy to carry to take; and, oncology patients, powdering is affordable, the effect is not worse than decoction... Therefore, I prefer to use powder in my clinical practice. Of course, many Chinese medicines are not suitable for powdering, so I look for other methods.

Chinese medicines are like the vegetables and grains we eat every day, each of them has its own character, some are suitable for this kind of eating, some are suitable for that kind of eating, some are high in this kind of efficacy, and some are high in that kind of efficacy. The medicines that clear the plague and relieve the epidermis, some grasses and leaves, should not be powdered. For tonic medicines, root and tuber medicines, it is better to powder them. In addition, in the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine, some of the drugs that are first decocted and then put down, or not powdered, according to the traditional decoction is better. Nowadays, many granular medicines in hospitals are purified through the process, not directly powdered Chinese medicines, so they are eaten in smaller quantities than directly powdered medicines. There are also hospitals that give patients granules on the spot from directly powdered Chinese medicine.

After a Chinese medicine has been selected for use in medicine, it must be strictly concocted before it can be used, hence the science of concocting Chinese medicines.

There are certain knowledge and techniques of concocting herbal medicines, such as stir-frying, cultivating, roasting, and dipping, etc., which are implemented according to the regulations, with the purpose, to remove impurities and enhance the medicinal effect.

It is basically a requirement that after a drug has been prepared, when it is used, the doctor will select it into a formula based on its flavor, meridian, function and main treatment. This is the basic requirement for the selection of drugs to be included in formulas, and thus, the science of formulas came into being.

Once the prescription is completed, the doctor chooses the dosage form according to the patient's needs, which is a matter of pharmacy. There are dosage forms such as Dan, Pill, Bulk, Paste, Soup and so on. This is to improve the efficacy of the medicine, the second is the convenience of the patient, and the third is designed according to the lesion.

Herbal medicines are powdered and called bulk or punch, how to choose, need to follow the doctor's advice.
