中药汤剂是中医治病常用的一种剂型。因为它易于吸收,容易发挥效力,颇受群众欢迎。然而汤药须要通过将草药煎煮,取汁去渣,才能取其精华,去其糟粕,既便于服用,又保证原药的疗效。笔者看到目前不少医院煎药室在煎药之前,予先用开水将草药浸泡,据说:这样可以把草药中的有效成分尽可能多的煎出来,而且煎起来省时间。笔者认为此法欠妥。 Traditional Chinese medicine decoction is a commonly used dosage form for Chinese medicine treatment. Because it is easy to absorb and easy to exert, it is popular with the people. However, the decoction must be decocted and decoctioned to obtain its essence and its detritus, which is convenient for taking and guarantees the efficacy of the original drug. The author saw that many hospitals in the decoction room before the decoction, first pre-soaked with boiling water, it is said: This can be the active ingredients in the herbs as much as possible to fry, and fry save time. The author thinks this method is not proper.
