As the saying goes, "medicine is divided into three poisons." According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the poison of traditional Chinese medicine refers to biased things. Clinically, Chinese medicine uses drug bias to correct the body bias. If you feel uncomfortable after taking tonic, it is tonic.
Take ginseng as an example, it has a strong effect of invigorating qi, which can replenish deficiency and replenish qi, but if it is given to young people with strong firepower, it will often lead to nosebleeds. Nourishing Chinese medicine is a tonic for those who need it, and a "poison" for those who don't need it.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays great attention to balance. The human body is both virtual and real and needs to be suppressed. If you wear too much makeup, you may get sick.
In addition, those who are physically weak may not get better because of tonic.
Whether it is food supplement or medicine supplement, it must be absorbed by the spleen and stomach to reach the whole body and play a role. Weak spleen and stomach, weak transport, will lead to deficiency without tonic.
If it is really weak, you should find a professional doctor to help you identify your physique, that is, to find the right direction to make up. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the so-called physique refers to the inherent characteristics of comprehensive aspects formed on the basis of parents' inheritance and acquired in the course of human life, which is often called individual differences.
The principle of "tonifying deficiency" in traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes individual differences and is very scientific. What harm does eating tonic in disorder have to the body?
It is unscientific to value medicine over food. I don't know that many foods are also therapeutic drugs. Eating more radishes can strengthen the stomach, promote digestion, flatten the chest, resolve phlegm and relieve cough; Eating more yam can replenish the spleen and stomach. Many foods in daily life have a good conditioning effect on the body, and it must not be thought that only drugs are the first choice.
"Rare things are precious", and precious traditional Chinese medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis and velvet antler have certain therapeutic and health care targets. Therefore, whether to choose them or not should be decided according to the needs, not according to the nobility, especially the elderly.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principle of tonic, that is, "deficiency is tonic". TCM health care focuses on tonic. For people who are not ill and not empty, there is no need to use drugs at all, and physical health is mainly non-medicine. Deficiency can be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. And taking medicine for the symptoms can make up the body. Regardless of the two syndromes of deficiency and excess, taking tonics indiscriminately can only aggravate the condition. The taboo of nourishing Chinese medicine is to make up at will, blindly follow the trend, and not distinguish between constitutions. Therefore, tonic must be based on your own physical condition, "what is missing", in order to get twice the result with half the effort. Although health care is not as strict as treating diseases, at least the drug targets should be divided into two categories: cold and heat. Cold people, who are afraid of cold and like heat, have lukewarm hands and feet, pale mouth and salivation, loose stool, long urine, pale tongue and deep and thin pulse; Fever, fever in hands and feet, dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, dry stool, short and red urine, red tongue and rapid pulse. If you don't distinguish between cold and heat, it's easy to "add fuel to the fire."
Eating too many supplements is harmful. It is unscientific to think that "take more tonics, treat diseases and strengthen the body without diseases". If you take ginseng antler supplements too much, it will cause bloating and not think about diet; Tonifying is not a random superposition of tonics. The most common mistake for overnourished people is getting angry.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that getting angry is an internal heat disorder after yin-yang imbalance. Once you get angry, you may have dry mouth, sore throat, bad breath, broken mouth, swollen gums, dry eyes, nosebleeds, headaches, hemorrhoids, constipation, insomnia and other symptoms.
With the improvement of people's living standards, many families have meat and fish every day, and the food is too greasy. The acidic toxic substances produced by the metabolism of these foods need to be discharged in time, and the accelerated pace of life makes many people have irregular defecation and even constipation. In recent years, health care advocates the concept of "negative nutrition", that is, paying attention to the discharge of human excreta, reducing the retention and absorption of "enterotoxin", and advocating the frequency and smoothness of defecation while supplementing.
Some people like to take some tonic according to their own tastes, and then change from being unchanged for many years to being "partial eclipse" and "gluttony", which is not good for their health. Because drugs and food not only have health care and therapeutic effects, but also have certain side effects, long-term use will affect the nutritional balance in the body. Especially for the elderly, not only the function of various organs has declined to varying degrees, but also comprehensive and systematic conditioning is needed.
Therefore, tonics are not omnipotent. Remember not to blindly take tonics regardless of your physical characteristics. Otherwise, it will not only fail to nourish, but also damage health, and the tonic will also become "poison".
It is more convenient to see a doctor at a famous doctor's meeting.
