2. Six Taboos for Eating Traditional Chinese Medicine
Don't eat radish
Never eat raw radish when taking traditional Chinese medicine, because radish has the function of promoting digestion and breaking qi, especially when you are taking traditional Chinese medicine with strong nourishing effect such as ginseng and astragalus, eating radish will seriously weaken the nourishing effect of ginseng and other medicinal materials, thus reducing the efficacy and affecting the therapeutic effect.
(2) Avoid catching cold
Cold food is cold and difficult to digest. Cold food is also easy to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of drugs in the gastrointestinal tract. What are the taboo foods for eating traditional Chinese medicine? Therefore, in the treatment of "cold syndrome", taking traditional Chinese medicines such as warming meridians and dredging collaterals, dispelling cold and eliminating dampness, or strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, we must avoid eating cold food.
(3) Avoid strong tea
Generally, don't drink strong tea when taking traditional Chinese medicine, because tea contains tannic acid, and strong tea contains more tannic acid. Taking it with traditional Chinese medicine will affect the absorption of effective components in traditional Chinese medicine and reduce the curative effect.
Especially when taking "Ejiao" and "Tremella", avoid taking it with tea, and taking it at the same time will precipitate tannic acid and alkaloids in tea, which will affect human absorption.
If you are a tea lover, I suggest you drink less green tea. If you must drink it, you can drink green tea 2 to 3 hours after taking Chinese medicine.
(4) avoid spicy
Mala Tang is warm and consumes pneumatic fire. If you take traditional Chinese medicines such as clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, cooling blood and nourishing yin, or during the treatment of carbuncle, ulcer and toxic heat, you must avoid spicy food.
What are the taboo foods for eating traditional Chinese medicine? Such as onions, garlic, peppers, mutton, dog meat and other spicy products, if eaten, will offset the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and some will also contribute to inflammation, yin injury and blood circulation (bleeding).
(5) avoid greasy
Greasy food is sticky, which is helpful to wet phlegm, moisten intestines and regulate qi, and is not easy to digest and absorb. Moreover, the mixture of greasy food and drugs will hinder the absorption of effective ingredients in gastrointestinal tract, thus reducing the curative effect.
Eating meat and greasy food will inevitably affect the absorption of Chinese medicine during taking Chinese medicine. Therefore, patients with severe phlegm dampness, spleen and stomach weakness, dyspepsia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, high blood viscosity and obesity should avoid eating greasy things such as animal fat.
(6) Avoid fishy smell
Generally speaking, traditional Chinese medicine has a unique aromatic smell, especially medicinal materials that can eliminate dampness and regulate qi. They all contain volatile oil in a very special way, and rely on volatilization to achieve therapeutic effect, but this kind of aromatic substance is the least suitable for fishy smell.
Summary: The above small series introduces some help of Chinese herbal medicine to men, male compatriots of three age groups, and different Chinese herbal medicine health care. Remember the above six taboos to prevent health from being affected!
3. The temperature of decocting traditional Chinese medicine
(1) After the fire boils, boil it on low heat. Please refer to braised pork for the principle.
(2) Try to use ceramics or crocks instead of stainless steel, iron pots and other metal utensils. Please refer to braised pork for the principle.
(3) On the premise of not sticking to the pan, break the medicine as much as possible. The principle is the same as braised pork.
(4) In addition to the drugs that need to be smuggled into cola, try to take them warmly.
(5) Don't use the so-called purple sand to boil medicine. Purple sand will absorb a part of the material energy of each decoction into the purple sand, and then release it later, so after a few years of making tea in a purple sand pot, the empty pot can also have tea fragrance. But every time I drink the same medicine, I can't treat the disease with the medicine of a few years ago.
