Generally speaking, for the treatment of deficiency syndrome and gastrointestinal diseases, the medicine should be taken 30 to 60 minutes before meals; for the treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases and other general diseases, it is usually best to take the medicine 30 minutes after meals to avoid gastrointestinal irritation and reduce the occurrence of side effects; Chinese medicines that aid digestion or irritate the gastrointestinal tract should also be taken after meals; and tonic medicines and laxatives should be taken on an empty stomach before meals.

In addition, you don’t have to drink medicine while it’s hot. According to TCM theory, general Chinese herbal decoctions should be "taken warm", that is, the decoction should be filtered out immediately after decocting, and then allowed to cool to 30℃~37℃ at room temperature before drinking. Chinese patent medicines such as pills and powders should also be taken with warm boiled water. Only Chinese herbal medicines that are used to relieve exterior symptoms and dispel wind and cold should be "taken hot", and you can eat some porridge and hot water after taking the medicine to help the efficacy of the medicine. However, medicines for relieving vomiting, detoxification, and clearing heat should be taken cold to avoid irritation.
