Guest guest Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi all, From your experience or from research/classics... what are the best times when patients should take their herbs? I know that taking herbs before meals is supposed to guide herbs to the lower jiao.. taking them after meals keep them in the upper jiao.. taking them with meals is supposed to carry them to the middle jiao... Sweet tonic herbs can go with food, bitter dispersing herbs should be separated from meals... 1/2 hour before meals or 1 hour after meals is standard operating procedure.... Any other ideas for optimal absorption/ metabolism / elimination? from a traditional Chinese or contemporary global perspective? Thanks! -- "" www.tcmreview.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
