Tips on Boiling Chinese Herbal Decoctions

The potent odors and flavors of Chinese herbs are legendary.  

While cooking herbs, ventilate the kitchen. This stops the odor from deterring you (and your family). If you find the taste of your medicine disagreeable, hold your nose when you drink your herbs. This eliminates almost all the taste. Drink your herbs lukewarm or at room temperature. After drinking your medicine, chew a few raisins or place a drop of lemon juice on your tongue to eliminate any aftertaste. 

Herbs can be absorbed up to 30% better when taken on an empty stomach. Allow at least a half hour after taking herbs before eating or taking additional medicines.
