The difference between Chinese herbal medicine granules and traditional Chinese medicine

There are many differences between Chinese herbal medicine decoction-free granules and traditional Chinese herbal medicines. The most obvious difference is the processing technology. The method of taking is also different. The former is relatively more convenient to take. However, due to the lack of the decoction process, the medicinal power of Chinese herbal medicine granules that do not require decoction is relatively low. In addition, there are differences in quality and price.

At present, Chinese herbal medicine has been recognized by more and more people, and is widely used in clinical medicine to treat a variety of diseases. There are many types of Chinese herbal medicines, which are mainly divided into Chinese herbal medicine granules that do not require decoction and traditional Chinese herbal medicines. Many patients will be worried when choosing, so it is necessary to understand the difference. So what is the difference between Chinese herbal medicine granules that do not require decoction and traditional Chinese herbal medicine?

1. Different production processes

Chinese herbal medicine granules that do not require decoction are mainly made from authentic Chinese herbal medicines, which are extracted and made through modern high-tech to become Chinese herbal medicine granule products. And traditional Chinese medicine needs to go through a variety of processes such as soaking, first decoction and second decoction. It belongs to Chinese herbal medicine decoction. The decoction process is relatively complicated and has very strict requirements on the equipment and time of boiling materials.

2. Different ways of taking

There are certain differences in the ways of taking the two therapeutic drugs. The Chinese herbal medicine granules that do not require decoction only need to be taken with boiled water, which is convenient for patients to take. Traditional Chinese medicine requires a series of decoction methods, and can only be taken after the medicine is boiled out, so it is relatively inconvenient.

3. Different drug strengths

In fact, Chinese herbal medicines contain a variety of ingredients. In particular, the medicinal materials will be solubilized after physical reaction after decoction, and new biologically active ingredients will be added, which is also helpful to reduce the toxic side effects of some therapeutic drugs. For example, rutin can increase the solubility of sexual drug ingredients during the water decoction process. However, Chinese herbal medicine granules that do not require decoction lack the process of co-decoction, and the high-temperature extraction process will consume volatile components, so the medicinal effect is relatively low.

4. Different quality

Because Chinese herbal medicines have no uniform standards, they can easily cause discoloration, mold, or insect infestation due to improper storage. The fry-free granules are relatively easy to handle. They are packaged in individual aluminum foils with good sealing, which reduces natural loss and ensures higher quality.

5. Other differences

There is a big difference in price between Chinese herbal medicine decoction-free granules and traditional Chinese herbal medicines. Since the former has a higher cost, the price is much higher than that of Chinese herbal medicines, which will undoubtedly increase the financial burden of patients who want to gain fat and muscle. In addition, the amount of decoction-free granules used in the preparation process is accurate, which can avoid the errors caused by weighing traditional Chinese medicines.
