Common Questions

Compiled based on real medical consultation scenarios, please take the face-to-face diagnosis of a practicing Chinese medicine physician as the standard.

Is the efficacy of the decocted medicine the same as that prepared at home? Will there be any shortcuts taken?

The standardized decocting equipment can precisely control the heat, water volume, and decocting time, and execute special decocting methods such as pre-decocting, post-decocting, and wrapped decocting more standardizedly than home manual operations. Each dose of medicine is prepared and decocted strictly according to the prescription and standards, and there is no possibility of shortening the amount. The medicine preparation area of Ke Zhen Tang belongs to the architectural health and health bureau filing scope, and the operation process is compliant and transparent.

How long can the decocted medicine be stored? How should it be stored? Is it convenient to carry to work?

The decocted medicine is packaged in sealed bags (about 150-200ml per bag) and stored in the refrigerator in an unopened state. Each bag is about the size of a palm, which is very suitable for carrying in a bag to work. Before taking the medicine, place the medicine bag in hot water to warm for 3-5 minutes (there is no need to pour it into a bowl to heat, to avoid repeated heating affecting the efficacy).

My home is far from the clinic, can it be delivered to me?

Yes. After decocting, it supports store pick-up——after receiving a phone call or text message notification, go to the store to pick up; or local delivery to the door——for specific delivery range and fees, please consult the front desk (phone: 19157825990).

Is it normal for there to be sediment in the decocted medicine? Does it mean it has gone bad?

Mild sediment is completely normal——after the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine is concentrated, some of the fine powder, starch, and gum components of some herbs may naturally settle, which is a physical phenomenon rather than spoilage. Just shake it well before taking it. However, if there are situations such as swelling bags (sealed packaging bulging), odor (sour smell, etc.), or cloudy and foamy medicine liquid, it indicates that it may have gone bad, please do not take it, and contact the clinic to confirm the handling method.

I am traveling out of town, what should I do if I run out of medicine? Can I get a prescription remotely?

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and the combination of four diagnostic methods. Practicing Chinese medicine doctors need to perform the four diagnostic methods in person to accurately judge your current condition and adjust the prescription. Remote renewal of prescriptions cannot guarantee the accuracy of syndrome differentiation, therefore, it is recommended to have a face-to-face follow-up visit after the doctor decides whether to renew or adjust the prescription. If you need to travel for a long time, you can inform the doctor before departure, and the doctor will issue the corresponding number of prescriptions according to your condition.
