Deoction of Shi Gao

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

 

I have a somewhat stupid question...When cooking shi gao, I have always

told patients to do this separately, and then add it to the already

finished decoction, so that they drink the powder.

 

I just read in Bensky that experiences in China shows that pre-cooking

it lowers its effect. So adding it together with the rest of the herbs

seems better..

 

Now for my question:

 

When filtering the herbs, won't the powder be filtered away? Won't the

effect of shi gao disappears? How do you all do?
