Are there any types of prepared Chinese herbal medicine available?
Yes, there are many types of prepared Chinese herbal medicine available in the form of tablet, ointment, powder, oral liquid, etc. An alternative to raw herbs is concentrated herb powders which you can take straightaway without making decoction. Other forms of prepared CHMs such as tablets, pills etc are very convenient to take. But as they are not as powerful as herbal decoctions, they are more suitable for minor conditions and available over the counter.
