BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of Chinese medicine processing of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown:

[0024] Embodiment 1: The present invention provides a method for preparing Chinese medicine, comprising the following steps:

[0025] S1. Selecting clean and dried Morinda officinalis without impurities as medicinal material;

[0026] Among them, choosing clean and dry Morinda officinalis without impurities as the starting medicinal material is the basis for ensuring the quality of processing. Impurity-free means that the medicinal material does not contain non-medicinal parts such as mud, sand and stones, thus avoiding the interference of these impurities on the processing process and the quality of the final product. Drying ensures that the medicinal material will not affect the absorption of salt water and subsequent cooking effects due to excessive water in the processing process, and it also helps to extend the storage period of the medicinal material.

[0027] S2. Accurately weigh the salt in a ratio of 50:1 between the weight of the medicinal materials and the weight of the salt, and dissolve the salt in clean water, the amount of which is 5 times the weight of the medicinal materials;

[0028] Among them, the precise salt ratio is the key to ensuring the processing effect. Dissolving salt in clean water to form saline solution will help distribute the salt more evenly on the medicinal materials and improve the processing efficiency.

[0029] S3. Evenly mix the dissolved salt water into the medicinal materials to ensure that each piece of medicinal material is fully in contact with and absorbs the salt water;

[0030] Among them, by uniformly mixing, the quality difference of medicinal materials caused by uneven absorption can be avoided, thereby improving the consistency and stability of the medicinal materials after processing.

[0031] S4, placing the processed Morinda officinalis in a sealed container and performing a moistening treatment for 30 minutes, during which the container is regularly stirred;

[0032] Among them, the steaming treatment helps the medicinal materials to further absorb the salt water, so that the salt and medicinal ingredients can be better penetrated and integrated inside the medicinal materials. Controlling the temperature and humidity within an appropriate range can optimize the medicinal materials' absorption of the salt solution, while avoiding damage to the medicinal materials due to excessive dryness or moisture. Regularly turning the medicinal materials can ensure the uniformity of the steaming.

[0033] S5, transferring the steamed Morinda officinalis to a medicine steaming box, setting the steam temperature to 100-110° C., and the steaming time to 120-150 minutes;
