Is traditional Chinese medicine drunk directly by soaking it in water or how?

Patient's question:

Is this traditional Chinese medicine directly soaked in water to drink, or how? Can you tell me how many times to use a small amount at once? How many times a day should it be taken?

Doctor's answer:

The effect of soaking Chinese medicine in water is relatively poor, and it is still recommended to decoct Chinese medicine for oral administration. Soaking in water cannot extract the active ingredients from Chinese medicine into the water. If you really want to soak it in water, it is better to use about 5 to 10 grams each time. If the amount of Chinese medicine is large, it is still recommended to decoct the medicine and take the liquid orally. The daily treatment for patients with prostatitis mainly involves taking medication and paying attention to self-care. Avoid eating cold foods.
