First, what is Chinese

 How many?

Into China since the Qing Xi Yao has to show differences, it will be a doctor of traditional Chinese drug called the Chinese medicine into the book from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Three years of the Qing Emperor Qianlong, Zhejiang physician Zhao Xuemin book The drug is now the largest in mainland China in 1978 published

Second, commonly used in Chinese medicine that is divided into several categories? What are the characteristics?

Chinese herbal medicines currently in use in Taiwan (also known as crude drugs, herbs had already cooked), except a small part of the local production, the vast majority from mainland China, some from abroad, such as : American ginseng, ginseng, Styrax and so on. Chinese herbal medicine can be divided into plants, animals, minerals etc., all kinds of features are summarized as follows:

plant

the highest proportion of this class of medicines, clinical application of the wide, usually take the whole plant medicinal plants,bailey UGG boots, leafy shoots, flowers, fruits, seeds, roots, bark and so on. Very many varieties of such drugs, such as: Astragalus, Dendrobium, wheat Asp, almonds, dried tangerine peel, lotus seed, Bupleurum, Angelica, etc., uses a wide range, is the main medicinal decoction of Chinese medicine prescriptions.

animal

the proportion of animals in traditional Chinese medicine is not, but the effect is outstanding. Usually taken from animal organs, such as: genital, endocrine gland, placenta, or bile, glial, crustaceans, etc.; some pathological animal substances, such as: bezoar, Marble, etc.; In addition, there are many insects, drugs, such as: Scorpion, Centipede, earth element and so on. Most of the role of medicinal herbs animal more strongly, if used properly, each played outstanding service.

class

ore ore is not high class, spacious case. Generally are derived from natural minerals, while some for the processed mineral crystals, inorganic salts or other metal compounds. Some can into the decoction, such as: actinolite, Daizhe Dan, etc.; some heat will break down toxic substances, such as adding fire cinnabar mercury will precipitate after calcination; some with more severe toxicity, it should only external, such as: light powder, mercury, litharge and so on. Prescription if the prescription containing mineral class, must be strict compliance with medical advice, broken, wrapped with a cloth, fry or a long fry, to fry the active ingredient.

Third, traditional Chinese medicine and how medicines are grass?

Habits is widely spread in the community, in the Chinese Medical (Clinic) application is still not widespread, and the processing is still a lack of standardized processing of natural plant flowers. Shops throughout Taiwan grass grass common drugs sold are: aloe vera, octagonal lotus, cactus, mimosa, Hibiscus, saxifrage and so on.

Fourth, what Chinese medicine decoction?

Chinese medicine the boiling time, to the residue, obtained concentrated liquid concoction made of Pharmacy, are now widely used in clinical medicine as a dosage form.



play a pharmacodynamics. Second, doctors can change depending on the patient's condition, and flexible change Smell and dose. Third, for emergencies and new disease of unknown etiology, disease or condition more critical.



Five,

pharmaceutical companies in the manufacturing and selling today's powder (tablets), pills, are the crown called The drug had been modified from the traditional into the boiling method, in order to facilitate mass production and reduce costs.

Department of Health is currently restricted to the pharmaceutical prescriptions in accordance with ancient, classic (such as: Treatise on the Golden Chamber, temperature Diseases identified, Golden Mirror of Medicine, Pacific Waste Management and the Bureau, of all diseases Rejuvenation , surgical authentic, etc.) to be recorded in the prescription form, made of proprietary Chinese medicines (powder, tablets, pills). Marked in accordance with manufacturers, and its crude drug and concentration after the

advantage of proprietary Chinese medicines ---- stable quality, safety and health, taking simple everyday meals, and the need for a simple disease, chronic patients with long-term medication use in children is also easy to use.

greatest disadvantage of proprietary Chinese medicines, the product must be in strict accordance with ancient prescriptions contained in the drug composition, are not free to add and subtract, and therefore can not be like effect. But now there are some clever Chinese medicine practitioners, usually add another party products share a variety of single flavor, depending on the disease to patients taking mixed addition and subtraction.

six, as the decoction of Chinese medicine even before the flooding? present in the pharmacy or

Chinese Medicine Hospital (Clinic) Chinese Herbal Pieces sold, mostly has been processed cooked, dehydrated dried crude drug products. The first use dried herbs if clear and direct to the flooding emergency fire artillery boiling, will make the surface contained in medicinal protein coagulation, starch slurry, or even block the capillary pores medicine, Chinese herbal medicines in causing dissolution of the active ingredient is not easy.

Thus, some plant herbs, soaked in boiling water for a period of time before the application, so that herbs have inhaled enough water softening, cell expansion, the active ingredient gradually dissolve into the water. This further boiling, as the water temperature gradually increased, the cell further expansion, rupture, the active ingredients of herbs can be faster and more completely dissolved in the liquid which, to enhance the efficacy of decoction.

China officials have experimental proof of the prescription treatment of jaundice and hepatitis, 7.24% higher.

general Chinese Herbal Medicine with water (avoid using boiling water) soaked in sixty minutes is appropriate, summer high temperatures can reduce it, the East-day low temperature can be increased slightly. For special treatment of the prescription, Ke Yi, MD, an appropriate extension instructions, but to pay attention to avoid the soaking time is too long and made of corruption and deterioration.

In addition, some drugs require special handling, such as the donkey-hide gelatin, antler, turtle shell, musk, borneol, etc., you do not need soaking, boiling their special way.

seven, you should not use boiling water decoction of Chinese medicine?

decoction of Chinese medicine to add water, some people like to add boiling water, medicine or any of the boiling water, fried fast, cooked through, reduce medicine or time, and has disinfection.

fact opened with boiling water to cook traditional Chinese medicine is very scientific. When the hot water into the rescue when the post drying raw medicinal herbs, crude drugs by the outer layer of tissue temperature due to sudden shock, immediately solidified, tightening, especially in small packets of protein in the wall to form a layer of drug irreversible prevented the infiltration of water, drugs were dissolved components within the organization difficult to leakage, greatly affected the dissolution of the active ingredient in prescription rates.

Therefore,Bailey UGG boots, boiling water decoction of Chinese medicine, not only will not shorten the time, and fry the active ingredient is not through drugs, but reduce the disease effect. Moreover, medicine or both already have the process of sterilization function, so do not deliberately use the boiling water before disinfection can also eat at ease.

eight, fried Chinese medicine should be used in all kind of devices?

conditioning nowadays the family kitchen pot Juyi diversification, but not all apply to each of decoction of Chinese medicine, and that the selection of appropriate containers which materials it> ancient physicians have stressed should be used in ceramics casserole According to clinical studies

statement that the vessels of ceramic material and have made moderate heat evenly, and the advantages of heat-resistant drug in the vessel can be fully heated and dissolved within the active ingredients, while a warm features. The most important factor, casserole or crock salt materials chosen by firing stones from Uruguay, do not contain soluble impurities (especially those such as: iron, calcium, magnesium, less copper and other metal ions, chemical stability) In Chinese medicine decoction boiling process of high temperature chemical reactions in the complex will not affect the synthesis of pharmaceutical and decomposition of some components to ensure quality pharmaceutical fried, efficacy is more easy to play.

but casserole, there is impatience jar collision, brittle and fried coke, rupture and leakage defects.

casserole, etc. If the family had no pottery, porcelain pond can choose white or stainless steel containers and other devices all to boiling pot of Chinese medicine, although they all have heat and fast pan, heat the poor, but its case of metals was stable at high temperatures, undesirable chemical reaction does not occur.

September, why not use iron, copper pots Extracting?

decoction decoction of Chinese medicine, the decoction has always been very particular about the choice of vessels. According to the clinical experience of ancient people, a unified standard is:

we all know, iron, bronze metallic chemicals more unstable (Note), in high-temperature boiling process, some such as copper ions, iron ions may be active there, and the promotion of many complex chain the chemical reaction. For example, pan fried with Chinese medicine, it is easy with the rhubarb, fleece-flower root, Burnet, gall, white peony root and other herbs contained in tannins, Gan classes and other ingredients from a chemical reaction, the twin of a water-insoluble other harmful ingredients, so that Chinese medicine decoction of dark green, Smell and astringent and fishy. Ranging from liquid to change the taste and reduce efficacy; re-occur if the users were nausea, nausea, vomiting and other side effects.

The decoction also not use copper pots. Because small amounts of copper ions are easy and some elements of Chinese medicine a mixture of chemical changes, resulting in harmful

silver pot metal is stable, but very expensive purchase the average family less.

In short, medicine or vessels or in earthen pot, jar, or no pigment in the porcelain pot and stainless steel pot pond as appropriate.

Note: Here the word But copper is not that big.

ten to automatically pan fried Chinese medicine or special right?

in the Taiwan Area and sales of auto-decoction pot pharmacies to facilitate customer decoction. Today the company has launched a decoction pot, divided ceramic pot, stainless steel pot two materials, the capacity to 1500 ml and 2000 ml for the main specifications, ready Automatic Extracting pot and insulation features.

fried Chinese medicine are most afraid of oversight, and to save dry frying pan liquid, burned. Automatically Extracting the pot just to prevent this from happening, because it is all the functions of automatic switching power supply, remaining in the bowl of each post drug Jianzhi water (about 150 ml) of the time, will automatically cut off power to maintain insulating state, avoid continuous high temperature and the liquid will be burnt.

Automatic Extracting the current commercial selling pot though, but still can not completely replace the traditional pot club. This is not ready because it's light all the traditional pan and higher volume, no gas stove in the shorter frying time, the solution containing volatile oil table prescription. This is evident from the following min I (Note: ≠ keyin who) do not oppose the use of automatic Extracting pan fried Chinese medicine, but especially recommended if the cook a seasonal flu treatment prescription solution table, and mosaic large doses of prescription more or when, or using traditional all the pot is more appropriate.

automatic decoction decoction pot still must follow all kinds of medicine or rules, step by step one by one operation, before being boiled decoction of the high component. Do not mistake along the learning concept, the whole quote prescription drug, regardless of the order to go out into the Guo Lifang; also can not put a plug outlet to sit back and relax leave the medicine pot, it will not only not good fried decoction, also affect efficacy, potential delays in disease.

XI, with the decoction of Chinese medicine which is appropriate? water

fried Chinese medicine, the ancient physicians attached great importance to the history books on prescription, recording a variety of medicine or water. Ming Li's book

now generally believed that the principle of medicine or water in order to clean, such as fresh water, or clean and free of impurities, the mountain spring water, distilled water is also possible addition.

As for being heavily polluted industrial waste water, well water, and high mineral content of groundwater, or the repeated boiling, place hot water bottle in the water a long time. Neither suitable for decoction of Chinese medicine.

second, medicine or how much water is added when appropriate?

Ming Li said: effect. Too little water, the active ingredient of drug dissolution is not easy; add too much water, the boiling time is bound to extend, and may damage some of the liquid ingredients.

general, the first dose in ---- to save post into the pot of Chinese herbal medicines, proper pressure, add water, not seen water to cross finger or palm Emulsion II (about three centimeters) of appropriate. Practical application, still the texture from the medicine, dosage, effectiveness, etc., and taking those to the patient, age, physical changes and other factors as appropriate.

weak for some mineral water absorption, shellfish herbs, and aromatic relieving agent (Gui Zhi Tang, Yin Qiao San), take medication (Da Cheng Qi Tang), etc., not more, to drown medicine for the degree. Absorbent better medicine (Fuling, yam) and plant flowers, leaves (Inula, mulberry, loquat), etc., should be appropriate to add some water. Hard texture, thick, fried ingredients needed for a long time (turtle shell, Huang Qi), and nourishing conditioning agents (Liu Wei Di Huang Tang), etc., due to medicine or prolonged, it is necessary to add more water.

second fry can be removed from the first dose due to water absorption part of the medicinal water, so the addition of two Jianshui usually can be as long as the slices submerged herbs.

thirteen, how to properly grasp the medicine or Huohou?

Because fire is the only manufacture of Chinese medicine decoction of heating conditions, it must be properly mastered. the decoction of Chinese medicine

Huohou, divided into Huohou control, mainly depending on the taste and texture of the drug. Usually associated with In addition, and to benefit the active ingredient fried.

average family medicine or to use In the decoction process, the people can not leave and be ready to monitor Huohou, and use chopsticks to stir the liquid once or twice, so that it can evenly fry the active ingredient, full control of him for the medical dose, and then promptly poured liquid out.

fourth, even called Which drugs need to slow fire boiling?



medicine or in addition to , psoralen, Morinda, Eucommia, Curculigo, dogwood, raw land, cultivated land, seeds, etc.), hard of Chinese Herbal Medicine (such as: Fritillaria, turmeric, Curcuma, Toosendan, aconite, etc.) ore, shellfish drugs (such as: gypsum, actinolite, mother of pearl, oyster, etc.) and who must in order to slow fire to fry, to play a pharmacodynamics.

medicine known as Modern clinical trials show that slow fire for a long time can increase the active ingredient in fried fried out rate. Therefore, the general treatment of wasting diseases, nourishing conditioning agents and the treatment of chronic drug use Safe simmer slowly fried.

fifth, even a Which drugs need to use high heat?

the shortcomings of drug overflow pan.

Typically, medicine or in addition to ,UGG boots clearance, mint, etc.), take a laxative laxative (such as rhubarb, nuts, etc.), and all other aromatic odor, and herbs containing volatile substances, require the use of force Huoji Jianqu the drug gas.

medicine known as With the proliferation of too much water vapor content will not only destroy some of the active ingredient, should also reduce the efficacy.

sixteen, why some drugs when the boiling

the so-called It must be after the next two reasons:

1. To prevent excessive evaporation of volatile components

generally contain aromatic herbs and volatile oils, such as: Gui, mint, Perrin, white Kou Yan , Amomum, cinnamon, incense, etc., are clear divergence is a light drug, active ingredient off easily with water vapor diffusion. For example, if cooked too long mint, liquid in the

2. Prevention of Fiscal active ingredient in the boiling process destroyed

the active ingredient in some Chinese herbal medicines can be quickly dissolved in water, such as: Uncaria, rhubarb, senna, Artemisia annua , Xu Changqing, etc. If these drugs long-fried, its chemical composition may change. For example, rhubarb fried a long time, contains risk reduction.

seventh, why some drugs to fry?

Xian Jian has two purposes:

1. To eliminate or reduce the toxicity of herbs

generally contain toxic ingredients, such as: Chuan Wu, Aconitum, Health and Southern Star, six snakes Valley, half of Health Summer, etc., must be boiled for a long time to reduce, alleviate the toxicity of drugs included, and are conducive to an active ingredient fried. It is made of Pharmacy] study confirmed that Radix, aconite, etc., not only cardiac function with non-alkaloids, also contain toxic to humans, toxicity is greatly reduced.

2. conducive to the dissolution of the active ingredient

some ore, shellfish material, such as: abalone, oysters, sea turtle, turtle shell, turtle shell, mother of pearl, buffalo horn, etc., as hard texture, but also contains calcium, pectin, protein, amino acids and other organic matter, and distribution of these important components are organized in space medicine, the active ingredient must be taken long-suffering, otherwise the effect should be reduced.

there, such as gypsum, amethyst, quartz, stone flower, Calcitum, natural copper, such as mining fry, can strengthen the elements have been dissolved, sufficient to reach saturation. In addition Orchidaceae Dendrobium genus (maple bucket) reason to fry, in addition to increasing the active ingredients

the above provisions to fry the ingredients for at least thirty minutes to fry (such as conditions permit, be extended to two hours), and then add other ingredients.

eighth, even a

. good for small, lightweight body of medicine sufficient boiling.

some small size, quality and light herbs, such as dodder seed, plantain seed, Tinglizi, Bodhisattva, Puhuang, Bai Caoshuang, etc., due to fine particles, buoyant, if not fried package will difficult to sink into the bottom of the pot, full suffering, and suspended in a liquid surface of soup, boiled over when the overflow pan, after boiling, it is difficult to filter concoction. If using packet fried method, will not appear on the above issues.

2. Prevention of plant and animal hair mixed with liquid, causing side effects. and some animal and plant medicinal materials

special plush due to the presence of other debris, such as fried package procedures without taking the time and the digestive tract will stimulate the throat, causing nausea, vomiting and other side effects, such as Inula, loquat Ye, Mao Yan, cormorants saliva and so on. Inula which is capitulum, with many white crested; loquat brown hair behind the other, these substances in the boiling process, it is easy to fall off the liquid in the soup mix, resulting in many adverse reactions; another saliva with the cormorants a lot of undigested fish bone spurs, scales, etc. These indigestible substances, such as chop suey and fried without directly mixed with liquid package, the take will be hurt when the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract.

3. prevent cloudy concoction unclear paste or slurry.

phlegmatic with some herbs, resin, such as white rice, Tinglizi, Plantago, etc., if not directly mixed bag fried decoction boiling, not only likely to cause concoction pastes, which also clay pot for the coke, fried completion of the work of juice. In addition, tomorrow night, sand, sand late silkworm, Chi Shizhi, Whitehead fat, pale autumn stone, fly talc, kitchen subsoil and six a casual, chicken Su San, jasper and other Chinese herbal powder (bulk) may contain sediment and other foreign matter offal, if not by the package fried procedures, often water the paste, so that liquid turbidity, affecting the quality of decoction.

affect the efficacy.

nineteenth, as even some Chinese medicine should be taken only

not into the fried, just with warm boiled water can reach the efficacy of herbal medicine can be divided into three categories:

1. precious herbs, powdered swallow

General more expensive, and the amount of not more than, not by boiling, you can research Zhijie powder to warm water. Such as ginseng powder, bell horn powder, pearl powder, deer horn powder, ginseng powder, Panax powder, taurine powder, mother of pearl powder.

2. water instant, liquid, or liquid

itself because such drugs are liquid liquid, not suffering, such as Zhu Li, fresh Ouzhi, rice wine, ginger juice, raw pear juice, etc., and other fresh fruits, roots, grass Herbs natural juice, only useful Jianhao concoction into the mix of medication can be. In addition, such as Glauber's salt, because of its instant water, use the above method can also be blunt.

3. Gaowen boiling does not increase the solubility of

full play. Others such as musk, saffron, borneol, camphor, Styrax benzoin and other aromatic drugs, because of its light texture, the price is expensive, and contains easy to evaporation of volatile oil, the clinical most of it into pills (BCH) agents, but not into the fried agent.

twenty-one Chinese fried a few posts in this most appropriate?

at least for traditional Chinese decoction was fried every second of this post is correct. As the complexity of Chinese herbal medicines containing the active ingredient in all of these elements in high temperature aqueous solution, some are very easy to release, such as Ge Gan class, polysaccharides, volatile oil, usually when the first dose can be dissolved; but there are some elements more difficult to release, such as Ge Gan Yuan, fatty oil,UGG bailey button, gelatin, lipid, etc., usually can only be dissolved when the second dose. So in order to improve the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for each post should be at least twice, after boiling, then mix the liquid sub-services. But tients who were not included.

have been due to Chinese medicine fried twice for each post and the trouble to attempt a long way to replace fried, it is very scientific. Chinese medicine decoction decoction can be divided into wet, infiltration, dissolution, diffusion, exchange and other processes within the organization medicinal active ingredient is gradually to the soup liquid in the the concentration of active ingredients with liquid in the balance, it will stop the leakage, dissolution. Then filter out the concoction to be re-adding water, resulting in a new imbalance and can help to release the active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine to dissolve.

So, with a prolonged boiling can not be replaced at the second way is the boiling method. According to clinical trial research, general prescriptions even if the second boiling point, and only about eighty percent of the ingredients are fried, but I have about twenty to thirty percent of them left in the dregs.

many noble tonic herbs, such as antlers, turtle shell, turtle shell, Astragalus, Dendrobium, angelica, etc., thick hard, hard tired of AIDS, but also rich in nutrients and can test filter fried three times, to make the drug in the two active ingredients fried so as not to waste.

the twenty-first, how long the medicine should be boiling?

decoction of Chinese medicine herbs should be based on the nature of time, and the main body of medical treatment permit all circumstances. In general, relieving drugs, take drugs, medicines and other aromatic boiling time should be short; tonics, mineral drugs, shellfish and toxic medicines, boiling time should be long. Extracting the following three conditions to provide the time as a reference: 1. General treatment of drug

where the treatment of various diseases, boiling time, no special requirements of pharmaceutical, boiling after the first dose thirty minutes from the boiling , b Jian Fei twenty minutes and then fried.

2.

sweating relieving drug treatment Four Seasons exogenous cold, wind-heat and other agents of the decoction of time should be short. The first dose and then boiling for eight to ten minutes, the second Jian Fei cook for five minutes.

3. nourishing conditioning treatment drug

where the body wasting disease, lack of yin and yang, qi and blood tonic for the pharmaceutical, longer boiling time. First dose in the sixty minutes from the boil and then boiled, fried thirty minutes after the second Jian Fei.

XXII, the more concentrated decoction fried better?

Many people think that the more concentrated to the efficacy of Chinese medicine is better fried. In fact, this concept is wrong, because a quote fried was very strong, very little liquid, active ingredient will not necessarily increase.

boiling process for traditional Chinese decoction is Chinese Herbal Medicine in the release of active ingredients to keep the water diffusion process; and when fried to Pieces of the liquid itself and the concentration of active ingredient in the equilibrium, such proliferation action stopped. If we continue boiling point in order to in the destruction, reduce the efficacy.

different herbal medicine for each post, along with the different disease indications, the boiling process has certain requirements, if the blind pursuit of way too light were concentrated concoction change in the original efficacy, severe vomiting after taking other adverse reactions.

Therefore, in order to achieve the desired effect of traditional Chinese medicine, not only according to conventional boiling some time, and each volume of this Jianhao leaching are not less than 180 ml (about nine minutes over a bowl) left to appropriate; if it is fried to a child to take, because fewer doses, each leaching liquid vehicles can reduce it to 120 ml.

xxiii, prescriptions for the treatment of cold even boiling time not too long?

treatment of fever, aversion to cold seasons such as cold medicine, Chinese medicine called Light clean scent of these medicines, mostly plant flowers, leaves, stems, branches, etc., such as ephedra, Gui, basil, Asarum, ginger, scallion stalk, Elsholtzia, Nepeta, wind, rugosa, Perrin, mint, Artemisia annua, chrysanthemum, Yin-hua, mulberry and so on.

by modern pharmacological studies have shown that the active ingredients of such medicines are volatile substances can be evaporated with the steam, the play time is proportional to the degree of boiling, that is, the longer frying , volatile loss of the more active ingredient.

China officials to have virtually 100%.

Therefore, the solution treatment of seasonal influenza prescription boiling time not too long table, the correct way is using the Five minutes is appropriate, in order to save more precious herbs spicy divergence, so that effect into full play.

round, as He Buyi conditioning should be boiling for a long time these drugs?

conditioning drug benefit is the so-called lack of blood nourishing the body as the main function. Commonly used herbs such as Astragalus, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Angelica, white peony root, Rehmannia, Achyranthes, Huang Jing, Yu-chu, aspartame, Ophiopogon japonicus, Sin spears, fleece-flower root, Chinese yam, lotus seeds, BREE, turtle version, turtle , are the roots of plants, fruit and animals such as crustaceans, such as the short boiling, its not easy to fully release the active ingredient, a direct impact on the efficacy of nourishing conditioning.

we use lotus seed, Poria blocks and other hard texture tonic decoction made when the inspection, as a general agent shall only boiled twenty to thirty minutes, then break apart the Pieces found inside or dry, the proof long-tonic herbs must be boiled thoroughly before being fully fried.

Therefore, drug conditioning in order to fully benefit Jianqu more nutrients in the correct way is to start a Jian Fei six minutes later after the first fried, then fried the second Jian Fei about thirty minutes to Pieces heart broke for the degree of non-white core. This length of time before we can make all the herbs in the release of active ingredient, should play a tonic effect.

XXV, dried decoction decoction of Chinese medicine can take it?

decoction of Chinese medicine, it may due to negligence and to save water to cook the pot dry, even serious enough to put a pot of burning pill, the occurrence of this situation, most people will naturally add water and continue to fry taken after cooking, but this approach is wrong.

save the pot because the water is boiled decoction of Chinese medicine did (even if the tablets have not burnt), the active ingredient is not already volatile and exhausted, is destroyed. For example, mint, Nepeta, Agastache rugosa, the active ingredient in cinnamon and other herbs will be lost with the evaporation of water vapor, even Adds water to boiling, efficacy and certainly not good. Another example Codonopsis, Astragalus, Angelica, Rehmannia, Huang Jing, wolfberry and other benefit agents, water is boiled dry, the herbs contained within the sugars, amino acids, and other active ingredients will be destroyed, even if combined with boiling water , its efficacy has been difficult to achieve, and thus delay treatment.

can be seen, such as tablets to water to cook dried or burnt, the correct approach is to save the dregs drained pot, discarding, re-post save to buy prescription, carefully boiling the correct way after the taking.
