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

summary

Because now many people know that western medicine has certain side effects, so more people will choose traditional Chinese medicine. Now let's talk about whether we can drink traditional Chinese medicine on an empty stomach in the morning.

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

First of all, take before meals: generally take medicine 30 ~ 60 minutes before meals. The location of the disease is below, so we should take medicine before meals, so that the drug can be easily released, such as liver and kidney deficiency or waist disease. In the treatment of intestinal diseases, it is also appropriate to take medicine before meals, because in the state of stomach empty, the medicine liquid can directly contact with the gastrointestinal mucosa and enter the intestine quickly through the stomach, so that it can be absorbed more and play a role, and will not be affected by the dilution of food in the stomach.

Secondly, take on an empty stomach: the tonic Decoction should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning for full absorption. The drugs used for anthelmintic or treatment of limb blood diseases should also be taken on an empty stomach, so that the drugs can enter the intestine quickly, and maintain a high concentration and play a rapid effect. The same is true of the decoction with purgative effect to enhance the efficacy.

Finally, under normal circumstances, it's OK to drink Chinese medicine on an empty stomach, and the ingredients of Chinese medicine are relatively easy to be absorbed, but it's better for people with gastrointestinal problems to drink Chinese medicine after meals.
