传统炮制侧柏炭是将原药材除去梗和杂质后,倒入锅中用中火翻炒至焦褐色。而本人多次实践,进行了改进。取原药材,除去梗及杂质后,倒入锅中,用武火——中火交替(锅内冒浓烟时或有火星时,用中火加热,否则用武火)加热进行翻炒,炒至其药材表面显油性。于锅上扣一稍小的锅,隔1～2分钟揭锅翻炒一次(如有火星,可用水喷熄),反复操作,直炒至侧柏叶表面呈焦褐色,显光泽,内部存药性,立即将锅离火炉,放入盛水盆中以降温,避免侧柏炭“炭化”,待冷透后,即可揭锅收藏。采用本法有如下优点: 1.侧柏叶属于叶类药材,质较轻,如用明炒法,易“灰化”;若用暗煅法,又存在药材上、下面 The traditional processing of oriental arborvitae is to remove the stems and impurities from the original herbs, then pour it into the pot and stir it over medium heat till it is brown. I have practiced many times and made improvements. Take the original medicinal material, remove the stems and impurities, and pour it into the pot, stir it with Wuhuo-Changhuo (when the smoke is in the pot or when there is Mars, heat it with medium heat, otherwise use Wuhuo) and stir it. Its medicinal surface is oily. On the pot buckle a slightly smaller pot, every 1 to 2 minutes to reveal the pot stir once (if there is Mars, water can be used to extinguish), repeated operation, straight fry until the surface of the arborvitae leaves were brown, shiny, internal storage Medicinal, immediately from the stove, placed in a water basin to cool, to avoid the side charcoal carbon “carbonization”, to be cold, you can reveal the pot collection. This method has the following advantages: 1. Platycladus orientalis leaf belongs to the category of medicinal herbs, lighter in quality, such as using the frying method, easy “ashing”; if using dark calcination method, there are herbs, the following
