Is it better to eat Chinese medicine before or after meals

Method 1: the so-called fasting means taking medicine an hour before breakfast or an hour after dinner. If you take special drugs, you can't do that. For example, you should take a small amount of digestive drugs before taking medicine to help the efficacy; anthelmintic drugs should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, and you should drink some sugar water before taking medicine, which can improve the killing rate of insects.

Method 2: the right time to take medicine depends on the condition of your disease. If the disease is in the upper energizer (heart and lung), it is better to take the medicine after meals if you want to keep it for a long time; if the disease is in the lower energizer (bladder and intestine), it is better to take it before meals if you want to release the medicine quickly.

Method 3: what is the specific composition of traditional Chinese medicine? Generally, traditional Chinese medicine can be taken before meals, which is related to the nature of the disease and varies from disease to disease.
