The water for soaking Chinese medicine does not need to be poured out. The water contains a large amount of medicinal effect. It can be directly put into the pot and boiled. Pour out and change the water easily leads to the loss of medicinal effect. Secondly, Chinese medicine generally needs to be soaked and does not need to be cleaned. Because the Chinese medicine prescribed in the hospital is cleaned and processed, the second cleaning will damage the medicinal effect.
