It's best to ask a doctor to prescribe a prescription according to the patient's physique and diseases, and make a tonic cream that is completely suitable for the patient's characteristics, just like tailoring it. At present, famous old Chinese medicine practitioners in major Chinese medicine hospitals, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and traumatology, can receive treatment from patients.

2. Medicinal liquor. That is, the drug is soaked in the wine, so that the effective components of the drug are dissolved in the wine. After taking it, the medicine can use the power of wine to promote the rapid development of the curative effect of the medicine to the greatest extent. Can be made into various medicinal liquor according to different Chinese medicine formulas to treat different diseases. In view of the hot nature of drugs, acting without observing them not only has the functions of harmonizing qi and blood, dredging collaterals and blood vessels, but also has the functions of tonifying yang, dispelling cold, eliminating dampness and expelling wind, and is generally suitable for people who can drink alcohol and often suffer from deficiency and cold.
3. Medicinal diet. Medicinal diet is a delicious food made by combining traditional Chinese medicine with food. Has the effects of strengthening body constitution, prolonging life and preventing diseases. Its functions are mainly divided into three categories, namely, health care, treatment and anti-aging.
In winter, while resisting the cold, we should also pay attention to the fact that warm foods that dispel cold and help yang often contain high calories, which are easy to accumulate heat in the body after eating. Eating often will lead to lung fire, which is manifested as dry mouth. How can I suppress dryness? Chinese medicine believes that it is best to choose some foods that are "sweet and cold in nature", that is, foods that are cooler in nature.
There are more "sweet and cold" foods to choose from in winter. For example, licorice, poria cocos and other cool medicinal materials can be added to hot food for tonic, so as to reduce calories and avoid being too hot after tonic. In the usual diet, you can also choose cold foods, such as soft-shelled turtle, soft-shelled turtle, rabbit meat, duck meat, goose meat, chicken, eggs, kelp, sea cucumber, honey, sesame, tremella, lotus seeds, lilies, white radish, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach, winter bamboo shoots, bananas, pears, apples and so on. Many people like beef stew in winter, so it is better to add some radishes. There is a folk saying that eating radish in winter and ginger in summer does not require a doctor to prescribe. This is because radish is sweet and flat, and has the effects of reducing qi, resolving food stagnation and resolving phlegm. It can be balanced with the "warm dryness" of beef, which can not only replenish qi, but also promote digestion.
Although cool food has the functions of calming, cooling and diminishing inflammation, it is not suitable for all people. According to Professor Gan Aiping of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, people who usually have symptoms of yin deficiency such as dryness and heat, hand and foot fever and night sweats. You can choose "sweet and cold" food appropriately. For example, duck meat is cool, which can tonify deficiency, clear heat, harmonize viscera, and benefit waterways. It is more suitable for cardiovascular patients with weak body and low fever, dry stool and edema. Generally speaking, people with spleen deficiency and stomach cold should not eat cold food and cold tonic. Instead, you can eat some hot pot that ordinary people should not overeat, such as dog meat and mutton hot pot. However, we should also be careful not to make up too much. Excessive intake of calories is concentrated in the body, which is easy to get angry, leading to the leakage of yang, which will destroy the nutritional balance of the human body.
