In ancient medical books, there are many records about the time to take herbal medicine. For example, "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" states: "If the disease happened above the chest and diaphragm, eat first and then take the medicine. If the disease happened to the heart and stomach, take the medicine first and then eat a meal. If the disease is in the blood vessels of the limbs, it is better to eat when the stomach is empty in the morning. If the disease is in the bone marrow, should be full and eat medicine at night." It can be seen that the time to take Chinese medicine should be determined according to the condition, the characteristics of the medicine, and other factors.

Most Chinese herbal decoctions are mainly used to balance yin and yang, regulate qi and blood, and soothe viscera. These medicines can be taken at 8-9 am and 4-5 pm. Staggering 1~2 hours with the meal time can not only give full play to the efficacy of the medicine, but also not affect the function of the spleen and stomach, and can achieve the best therapeutic effect.

Kidney-tonifying medicine can be taken sooner or later. Among them, decoctions for nourishing kidney yang (used to improve symptoms of kidney deficiency edema, soreness of the waist and knees, easy fatigue, and fear of cold) such as deer antler, cistanche, Cynomorium, etc. should be taken at 7 to 8 in the morning, and for kidney yin (used to relieve dry mouth), irritability, palm fever, sweating, etc.) decoctions such as Polygonatum, Eclipta, Ligustrum lucidum, etc., should be taken at 8 to 9 o'clock in the evening, which is more in line with the traditional Chinese medicine's principle of nourishing yang when yang and nourishing yin when yin principle, the effect is better.

Drugs that stimulate the stomach and intestines should be taken 1 hour after meals. Prescriptions that are too bitter, cold or hot can irritate the stomach and intestines, so it is recommended to take them 1 hour after meals. Other drugs that are not irritating to the gastrointestinal tract can be taken before meals.

It should be noted that taking herbal medicine is the same as drinking water, you should not drink too much, and the dosage should follow the doctor's advice, otherwise, it is not good for the maintenance of the spleen and stomach. Medication time and diet are also related. If the diet is light, you can stagger the time of taking the medicine by about half an hour; if the diet is greasy, it is best to stagger the time of taking the medicine by about 2 hours. Try not to take medicine(like deer antler, cistanche, Cynomorium) after 9 o'clock in the evening, so as not to affect drug absorption and sleep.
