Excerpts from "How to Use Herbs in Chinese Medicine: The Basics and Practical Guides":
“In Chinese medicine, herbal wine has been popular for thousands of years. Herbal wine can be made through soaking herbs in wine for some time to get certain effects. The wine can usually improve the effect of the herbs, such as for arthritis. It can be taken orally, or used externally….”
“Add water to the pot to submerge all the herbs. Soak the herbs for about 30 minutes before placing the pot on a fire.
Usually the properties of the herbs decide the amount of water to be added and the cooking time….”
“Incorrect applications of herbs on patients may cause severe problems and strong toxic effects. For example, using herbs of the hot nature on a patient with hot syndromes will only cause the disease even worse. Herbs are safe and effective only when they are used correctly with appropriate properties applied to the corresponding ailments….”
“Herbs with different tastes or flavors have different pharmacological and therapeutic effects. Here the “tastes” do not refer to their real tastes in the mouth, but indicate the actions they have on the human body….”
“Ancient Chinese medicine classics recorded many herb-herb interactions, precautions, and contraindications in the application of herbs. These include the eighteen incompatible medicinal herbs, and the nineteen mutual-restraining medicinal herbs….”
