Generally speaking, Chinese medicine practitioners will add an appropriate amount of licorice when prescribing traditional Chinese medicine, mainly for seasoning, but the sweetness of licorice is not enough to greatly reduce the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine. Some people add an appropriate amount of honey, because honey is rich in nutrients and has the effect of moistening the lungs and intestines. At the same time, the main components of honey are fructose and glucose, which are easier to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, especially for children. Therefore, parents are advised that if their children want to drink traditional Chinese medicine, it is better to add honey than sugar. At the same time, it is pointed out that you should consult a doctor in advance, because honey contains a variety of trace elements, which may change the efficacy of the medicine, so you need to pay attention.
