Shelf life of vacuum bagged Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on improving many diseases, so many people are particularly dependent on it. Since it is troublesome to boil Chinese medicine, many people will boil a whole course of treatment at one time. Some use vacuum preservation, but how long is the shelf life of vacuum-packed Chinese medicine? In fact, the shelf life of such Chinese herbal soup is not long. It can only last for seven days at most if kept at a temperature between 2 and 25 degrees, so it is better not to boil it for too long.

Nowadays, Chinese medicine hospitals all use Chinese medicine decoction, and all of them are vacuum-packed with a shelf life of six months. When taking Chinese medicine, you must be careful not to eat it with some particularly spicy foods. Never eat radish, because radish and milk will break down the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine, and the Chinese medicine will have no effect. You should eat lighter meals and eat more vegetables and fruits. Chinese medicine must be consumed within its shelf life, so do not buy too much at one time.

How long can boiled Chinese medicine stay in a vacuum package without going bad? This is basically determined by the ambient temperature:

1. When the outside temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius, it can generally be stored for about 3 days without deterioration (the taste may not change, but the medicinal effect has actually been lost)

2. When the outside temperature is between 25 and 40 degrees Celsius, it can generally be stored for about 7 days without deterioration.

3. When the outside temperature is between 0 and 25 degrees Celsius, it can generally be stored for about 15 days.

4. When the outside temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, it can generally be stored for about 40 days.

Because bacteria cannot grow easily for such a long time in the above environment.
