Can you drink Chinese medicine on an empty stomach in the morning?

Fasting in the morning for some therapeutic purposes of traditional Chinese medicine is able to drink, such as tonic Chinese medicine, this kind of traditional Chinese medicine normally contains qi and nourishing medicinal ingredients, such as Astragalus membranaceus, ginseng, Dangshen, angelica or tortoise shell glue, antler glue and so on, especially expensive medicinal ingredients, in this case can drink medicine on an empty stomach in the morning, because fasting is conducive to the absorption of these tonic ingredients. Of course, this does not mean absolute fasting. You can drink a cup of warm water in the morning to improve the function of your stomach, and then take medicine. This is no problem. If the ingredients of the medicine contain relatively strong medicine, such as activating blood circulation to remove blood stasis or removing water dampness, especially the medicine to attack water or remove stasis, such as rhubarb, burreed, zedoary or Tingli seed, etc., the stimulation of stomach on an empty stomach is very large, at this time, you can't drink medicine on an empty stomach in the morning. Normally, you can drink this medicine only when there is something in your stomach after eating. Therefore, after getting a medicine, we must ask the doctor clearly, whether it is appropriate to drink on an empty stomach in the morning, if it is a tonic medicine, it can be drunk on an empty stomach, if it is some other medicine, it is normal not to drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
