Can Chinese medicine be boiled in an electric cooker for 3 hours?

Traditional Chinese medicine is not recommended to be boiled in an electric cooker for more than 3 hours.

In general, the boiling time of traditional Chinese medicine should be controlled between 30 and 40 minutes, so as to better retain the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine without causing excessive loss of efficacy. If you use an electric cooker to boil traditional Chinese medicine, it is also recommended to control the boiling time between 30 and 40 minutes, not too long, in case long-term boiling will affect the effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, resulting in reduced efficacy or harmful substances, but not conducive to the health of patients.
