Efficacy and Taboos of Gastrodia elata Three Taboos Before Eating Gastrodia elata.
Gastrodia elata is a commonly used and valuable Chinese medicine, which is often used in clinic for headache, dizziness, numbness of limbs, convulsion, epilepsy, convulsion, tetanus and other diseases. Gastrodia elata has a significant effect on headache and dizziness caused by hyperactivity of liver yang, and is often taken as a "tonic".
At the sight of dizziness, regardless of physical weakness, qi and blood rise and fall, indiscriminate use of gastrodia elata, resulting in dizziness, nausea, chest tightness, skin papules with itching and so on. May occur, some individuals may have facial or systemic edema, and even hair loss. Not only does gastrodia elata have this kind of reaction, but some people also have allergic symptoms to gastrodia elata after taking decoction containing gastrodia elata such as Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction, Chinese patent medicines such as Tianma Pills and Armillaria mellea sugar-coated tablets.
How to eat gastrodia elata, keep in mind three taboos to avoid adverse reactions.
1, the decoction time should be appropriate, and Gastrodia elata should not be decocted for a long time. Gastrodia elata is the main component of gastrodin, which is easily volatilized when heated. Gastrodia elata and other drugs will lose their effective components of sedation and analgesia due to heating. Therefore, it is best to wet Gastrodia elata with a small amount of water, soften it, cut it into thin slices, dry it in the sun or grind it into powder, and take it with the decoction, or grind it into pills and powder.
2. Anyone who sees fluid deficiency, blood deficiency and yin deficiency should use it with caution.
3. Even if it is evidence of hyperactivity of liver yang and phlegm blocking meridians, it is necessary to carefully examine the condition of Gastrodia elata and add and subtract with the symptoms to achieve good therapeutic effect.
4. Pay attention to compatibility applications. "Herbal Yi Yan" has a description that "Gastrodia elata must be supplemented with other drugs, and then see its merits". Ancient and modern physicians rarely use gastrodia elata alone, and often use drugs according to different symptoms. Such as: Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction, Tianma Gouteng Drink, Tianma Pill, etc. Gastrodia elata is not effective or the effect is uncertain in clinic.
5. When gastrodia elata or gastrodia elata preparation is used alone, dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, accelerated heartbeat and itching of the skin occur. If it happens, stop taking the medicine immediately, and those with severe symptoms should go to the hospital in time.
It is regarded as the top grade of herbs in past dynasties. It has the effects of calming the liver, suppressing hyperactivity of yang, calming wind and relieving spasm, and can be used for treating dizziness and headache caused by hyperactivity of liver yang, as well as convulsion and mouth-eye deviation caused by hyperactivity of liver wind.
What foods can't gastrodia elata be eaten with?
Because vanillin, the effective component of Gastrodia elata, is volatile at high temperature, it is generally impossible to decoct Gastrodia elata with other drugs to avoid the loss of effective components and affect the curative effect.
Theoretically speaking, Gastrodia elata is sweet, warm and dry, and its function is to calm the liver, calm the wind and relieve spasm, and it is not divergent and nourishing. However, chicken is warm, and it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and fire, but it is more prosperous when eaten. Eating chicken and gastrodia elata together will definitely reduce the efficacy of gastrodia elata. Furthermore, the effective components of Gastrodia elata are volatile at high temperature and should not be cooked for a long time. Stewing chicken for a long time will cause the loss of effective ingredients and fail to achieve the due effect of treating dizziness and headache.
In the process of taking gastrodia elata, many people take it by decocting, but they don't know that this will reduce the curative effect. Because gastrodia elata contains volatile oil, it is easy to volatilize after heating, so it is not suitable for decoction. Gastrodia elata can be ground and swallowed, or it can be ground and swallowed in capsules, and the curative effect will be better.
However, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Gastrodia elata is not a tonic, nor can it cure all diseases. Still have to take it according to syndrome differentiation, not abuse it. Generally speaking, gastrodia elata combined with other drugs is effective. Gastrodia elata alone has a good effect on patients with liver wind, which is manifested as headache, head swelling, dizziness, dark eyes, facial hot flashes, headache related to emotions and so on. Stewed gastrodia elata has certain effect.
However, if there is headache, dizziness, general weakness, pale face, slight fatigue, headache, heavy headache, poor diet, drowsiness and easy to sleep, or headache is not cured, the pain is fixed, and the pain is like acupuncture. Gastrodia elata can't solve it by any means. You need to ask TCM syndrome differentiation to be effective.
