Introduction to the preservation of Chinese herbal medicines

Nowadays, some medicines are often prepared in the family. In the spring, the temperature and humidity will change greatly. If Chinese herbal medicines are not properly preserved, they will deteriorate. Therefore, it is necessary to preserve the medicinal herbs in the spring.

Moisture-proof

There are many ways to prevent moisture, such as a large amount of medicinal materials, can be stored in a sealed box; if less and more general medicine can be stored in the refrigerator; but if more expensive herbs, such as Cordyceps, velvet, etc., can be used first Sealed bag or moisture-proof paper wrap, placed in the bottom of the cylinder (simple, but practical).

If it is found that the medicinal material has been moistened, it should be sun dried as soon as possible, or bake it in a clean pot and heat and fry it to remove the water. Precious herbs can be tiled first, covered with moisture-proof paper or clean tissue, irradiated with high-wattage incandescent lamps to remove water, and stored using the above preservation method.

Mildew

There are a lot of mold spores in the air, and the medicinal materials have high nutrient content and certain moisture. At the appropriate temperature, spores will fall off the surface of medicinal materials and will absorb medicinal nutrients, germinate mycelium, and secrete enzymes, further destroying medicinal materials.

Under normal circumstances, medicinal materials can do a good job of preventing moisture, and basically they will not be moldy. However, in the spring, the number of movements of medicinal herbs should also be reduced. After the medicinal herbs are taken out, they should be sealed immediately to minimize the flow of air around the herbs.

Found that there is mildew medicine, first of all should be removed mycelium. Usually use a soft brush or rag to open the water to wipe the test, the water can also be washed directly with water, inconvenient brushing, can be mixed with rice to hit the hyphae, and then treated with the same method as the removal of moisture, but should The time is longer to effectively eliminate the surface spores of medicinal herbs.

Pest control

The main cause of worms is the remaining eggs of medicinal materials. When the temperature reaches a certain level, they can be hatched. Some worms do not need medicinal materials to contain water. They can secrete enzymes and decompose the internal substances of herbs to obtain the water needed for growth. Caused deterioration of medicinal herbs. The key to pest control is pre-storage treatment. High-temperature roasting can effectively kill eggs, but can not fry herbs, and it is also an effective method to store in the refrigerator.


When insects are found in medicinal materials, the internal destruction of medicinal materials is generally severe. It is recommended not to eat them again. If insects are found to be severe when they are cut off, they should be used as soon as possible after the insects have been removed, because pests will occur when they are stored again.
