Chinese Medicine, when you make a tea from herbs from a Chinese Medicine Practitioner....?

Question

I got a perscription from a Chinese Medicine Doc today for skin issues, and to start she gave me a bunch of herbs to make a tea to drink twice a day. She told me how to brew it, but I have a question on how to drink it properly. There is alot of sediment once I strain it through a metal mesh strainer, should I drink the sediment, or next time should I strain it through cloth?

Answer 1

you don't need to drink the sediment - you can strain it if you prefer it that way.  :)
