If there is no special medical order, it is best to take it 2 times a day (morning, evening) or 3 times (morning, middle and evening). The effect of 3 times is better. The decoction after three decoction can still contain about 20% of the active ingredients. Serving 3 times a day helps maintain a certain level of drug concentration in the blood. Some drugs have a stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. It is best to take them half an hour to one hour after a meal, or intermittently after meals.

The method of measuring and identifying the authenticity of traditional Chinese medicinal materials according to the taste and taste of Chinese medicinal materials is called the oral test method. This method is simple and easy to implement, and has great application value for identifying Chinese medicinal materials such as root bark and fruit seeds.

Advances in science and technology have created chemical drugs and new biological drugs. After the Second World War, the entire pharmacy, from research technology, production technology to professional management technology, has made great progress. At the same time, botanical medicines that have been relatively stagnant for a long time have also gained new developments with the advancement of technology and management. So far, botanical preparations have had three stages of development. The first stage is the traditional Dan, Wan, Ointment and San. In the second stage, the traditional Chinese medicine is made by combining the extraction and rough processing technology mainly based on the hydroalcoholic or alcoholic water method with modern industrial preparation technology. The third stage is to refine and quantify modern plant medicines using modern separation and detection techniques. The three stages of botanical drugs only indicate the chronological order in which they were generated, and do not mean that the latter stage will replace or cancel the previous stage. Just as chemical medicine cannot cancel natural medicine, biological medicine cannot cancel chemical medicine. But the latter level reflects or uses more modern technology than the previous level.

Plant extracts and modern botanical medicines have an intersection in the connotation of the concept, and each part contains each other. Modern plant medicines are largely based on extracts. Plant extracts are the main raw materials and components of modern plant medicines; and some plant extract varieties are directly used as medicine. There is currently no uniform definition of botanicals worldwide. But the West is accustomed to calling plant medicines natural medicines. Natural medicine refers to all medicines that are derived from nature and are not used to treat diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine and botanical medicines should be included in its scope.
