With the continuous improvement of people's knowledge of their own health in modern society, more and more friends have realized that when we are suffering from diseases, we cannot rely solely on western medicine. Because western medicine always treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and long-term use will produce many side effects. Therefore, this will reflect the importance of Chinese medicine. So what are the taboos of drinking Chinese medicine? With this question raised by everyone, please share with me in the next time.
Diseases include cold and heat deficiency and excess, even if the same disease, there will be differences in cold and heat deficiency and excess due to different physical conditions of the patient. Therefore, Chinese medicine not only uses drugs in treatment to remedy the disadvantages, but also in diet based on the condition of the disease to avoid eating or "partial eclipse" in order to enhance the therapeutic effect of drugs or reduce their side effects. In this sense, "taboo" is actually part of TCM treatment. In clinical practice, we have found that some foods also have the four qi and five flavors similar to drugs. In order to avoid the adverse effects of food on the drugs, the traditional Chinese medicine "forbidden" said.
The taboo includes two parts: one is taboo according to the nature of the disease, which is a disease taboo. People with various heat syndromes, irritations, and exogenous diseases should not eat spicy, fatty, greasy, and fried foods; and those with cold syndromes should avoid eating raw or cold foods; during asthma attacks , Do not eat eggs, milk, fish, shrimp and other high-protein foods; people with hemorrhoids and skin diseases, avoid eating seafood, lamb, dog meat and other hair products; patients with edema, avoid eating salt; patients with hepatitis, avoid eating spicy, spicy, greasy, etc. .
Second, the contraindications are based on the characteristics and compatibility of the drugs taken, and they belong to medicinal taboos. For example, when taking ginseng, avoid radishes; when taking turtle shells, avoid amaranth and mint; when taking Poria, avoid vinegar.
In addition, do not drink strong tea when taking any Chinese medicine, because strong tea contains a lot of tannic acid, taking it with Chinese medicine will reduce the effect, so you should drink boiled water.
I believe that with the above-mentioned sharing by all of us, the majority of friends have already aroused more vigilance and attention in their hearts about some of the taboos of drinking Chinese medicine. Of course, I hope that all of my friends must master these taboos, so as to avoid more accidents in the process of drinking Chinese medicine. At the same time, I also hope that you will share what you have learned today with your relatives and friends.
