The preparation of decoctions has certain requirements on cooking utensils, water, heat and cooking methods. Clay pots and earthenware jars are the best utensils for decocting medicines, while enamel pots are second best. Copper and iron pots should be avoided to prevent chemical changes that will affect the efficacy. There are two types of fire for decocting medicine: low heat and high heat. The heat and time of decocting should be determined according to the properties of the ingredients. Due to their different textures, some medicines have special decoction methods, which are indicated on the prescription. There are different decoction methods, such as decocting first, adding later, decocting wrapped, decocting separately, dissolving, soaking, taking with water, and decocting in water.

Pills with smaller particles can be taken directly with warm water; large honey pills can be divided into small particles and swallowed; if the water pills are hard, they can be dissolved in boiling water before taking. Powders and dusts can be mixed with honey and taken or put into capsules to avoid irritation to the throat when swallowed directly. Ointments should be taken with boiled water, and should not be poured directly into the mouth and swallowed, so as to prevent them from sticking to the throat and causing vomiting. Granules should be taken with boiled water; syrups can be swallowed directly. In addition, there is also nasal administration.
