Now people pay more and more attention to health care, and many people begin to take traditional Chinese medicine powder on the market. Traditional Chinese medicine powder has won the favor of many consumers with its concept of health, beauty and longevity. Chinese medicine health experts remind: Not long ago, the author found in the supermarket that many Chinese medicine powders with simple packaging were sold on the shelves under the banner of dietotherapy. Among them, the traditional Chinese medicine powder is mountain powder, kudzuvine root powder, salvia miltiorrhiza powder, Poria cocos powder, motherwort powder, astragalus root powder, etc. Very popular. A 30-year-old lady told me that she wanted to take motherwort powder to treat spots and regulate menstruation. An old man in his 70s said that he bought salvia miltiorrhiza powder and treated his heart disease by taking salvia miltiorrhiza powder. When the author asked them if they had asked the doctor, they all shook their heads and looked puzzled. The author picked up a bag of Chinese medicine powder and observed it carefully. It was found that only the name, net weight, unit price, total price and shelf life of the supermarket were found, but the name, batch number and production date of the manufacturer could not be found at all, which basically belonged to the three-no products. Similarly, when the author walked into a vegetable market, the crowded booth with booming sales was also a shop dealing in Chinese medicinal powder. Different from supermarkets, this store in the vegetable market adopts the management mode of on-site processing and on-site sales. Consumers can see that merchants chop up Chinese herbal pieces, put them into a cooking machine, grind them into powder, and then package them for sale. This visible spot processing method and low sales price have made many elderly people feel excited. An aunt who bought Poria cocos powder said that she bought Poria cocos powder to treat eczema. When the author asked about the curative effect, the aunt shook her head and said that she still had to take medicine. At present, the sales of traditional Chinese medicine powder in the market are very hot, but the classification is very chaotic. Some are under the banner of drugs, but there is no drug batch number, and they are not sold in designated drug sales places, but are sold together with food; Some claim that medicine and food are homologous, and they are sold together with oats and mung beans, but they keep saying that they are effective; Some people regard it as a beauty product. According to the theory of luck in traditional Chinese medicine, the words produced by a cosmetics company are also written on the outer packaging of powder, but there is no hygiene license and implementation standards. The Chinese medicine powder market is really a mess! In life, many people think that eating Chinese medicine powder can treat simple diseases. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Because, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, classification, treatment strategy, treatment steps, medication methods, etc. All diseases need a lot of professional knowledge as the foundation, and they need a certain professional examination to complete. Without these in-depth and meticulous work, it is difficult to effectively treat the disease only by relying on the folk saying that this disease is cured and that disease is cured. The relationship between diseases and drugs is not a simple one-to-one relationship. Sometimes, Party A and Party B suffer from the same disease, but their constitutions and conditions are different, and their medication is also different. More importantly, the premise of treatment is correct diagnosis. If you don't even know what disease you have, taking medicine only by feeling will often delay your illness and cause unnecessary losses. Here is another question that is easily overlooked: Is Chinese medicine powder a medicine? Generally speaking, drugs with national drug batch numbers are sold in pharmacies and hospitals, and supermarkets and vegetable markets cannot sell drugs casually. According to experts, some Chinese medicine powders sold in supermarkets and vegetable markets are actually Chinese medicine pieces that pharmacies should sell, such as cassia seed, salvia miltiorrhiza, motherwort, astragalus root and gastrodia tuber. These Chinese herbal pieces are converted into Chinese herbal powder and openly selected by anyone on the supermarket shelves, which not only brings a lot of profits to businesses, but also brings hidden dangers to consumers' health. Therefore, some Chinese medicine powders have some health care functions at best. If you want to take the Chinese medicine powder bought in the vegetable market as medicine, you should stop! Treatment? In health care life, many people confuse health care with treatment, which is prone to problems. Medical experts believe that many times, traditional Chinese medicine powder only plays a health care role, and some traditional Chinese medicine powder has some auxiliary treatment effect at best. However, it is unlikely to cure the disease by drinking only a few cups of paste prepared with Chinese medicinal powder. Many people drink Chinese medicine powder every day with the idea of being sick and strengthening their bodies, so as to avoid diseases and disasters. In fact, this practice is also a misunderstanding. People's physique is not static. With the changes of age, season, different physiological stages and human qi, blood, yin and yang, people's physique is also changing. Drinking a Chinese medicine powder for a long time sometimes can't adapt to these changes, but it is harmful to human health. In addition, taking some Chinese medicine powder for a long time will also damage health. For example, cassia seed has the effect of moistening the intestines and relaxing the bowels, but long-term large-scale use may cause intestinal lesions due to excessive stimulation of the intestines; For example, red dates can nourish blood and soothe the nerves, but their sugar content is high, and long-term large consumption may lead to obesity; Another example is yam powder. Although it has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, tonifying kidney and nourishing yin, it contains a lot of starch. If a diabetic wants to tonify the kidney by eating a lot of yam powder, the possible result is that the kidney is not well repaired, but the blood sugar exceeds the standard. Therefore, if you are sick, you still need regular treatment. If you throw away the treatment advice provided by the doctor and plunge into the traditional Chinese medicine powder sold in the market, it will not be worth the candle. Nowadays, the social pressure is increasing, and there are more and more sub-healthy people. It is understandable that many friends want to take Chinese medicine to regulate their bodies in order to achieve the goal of health, beauty and longevity. But do you know what your constitution is? What Chinese medicine is suitable for you? Can you prescribe the right medicine? Here, I would like to remind you that instead of taking medicine indiscriminately or taking the wrong medicine, it is better to go to the hospital to find a Chinese doctor to take a good look at yourself and identify your physique before taking medicine. At present, many Chinese medicine departments of large general hospitals and many Chinese medicine hospitals have set up preventive treatment centers or preventive treatment clinics. You might as well come here and ask a professional to take your pulse and look at your tongue, and ask a doctor to prescribe according to your specific situation. Never eat Chinese medicine powder casually.
