In our daily life, people's understanding of western medicine is to treat diseases, and there is a saying that "medicine is toxic in three ways". As for Chinese medicine, people think that Chinese medicine is a method of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the yuan, which can play a role in preserving health for the human body. Therefore, in the face of diseases, some people will choose Chinese medicine and western medicine together, thinking that this can cure diseases and preserve health. But in fact, it is easy to cause great harm to the body, and even can not lead to the recovery of the disease.
Although Chinese medicine has the effect of health preservation, some kinds of Chinese medicine are not recommended for long-term consumption.
1, licorice
Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch is a commonly used Chinese medicine, especially licorice buccal tablets. Usually, licorice is used to relieve symptoms such as sore throat. It can be said that many people used to eat licorice buccal tablets. But so far, we seldom find licorice buccal tablets in pharmacies. In fact, this is mainly because experts have found that licorice buccal tablets have great side effects, such as high blood pressure and limb weakness after taking them. Therefore, the existence of licorice buccal tablets is gradually ignored.
2. A traditional Chinese medicine containing Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong
Maybe many people don't know what Chuanxiong is for, and it's not common at ordinary times. In fact, with the continuous growth of human age, many middle-aged and elderly people will have osteoporosis or backache. In the face of these diseases, Chuanxiong can play a very good role in relieving pain. However, after taking Chuanxiong, our brain will also be affected and our memory will decline, so Chuanxiong will gradually be "replaced".
3, containing cinnabar ingredients
In fact, we watch some ancient TV dramas, in which cinnabar often appears. This substance is also toxic. Although cinnabar has certain toxicity, it always contains some cinnabar in some traditional Chinese medicines. In fact, it can mainly relieve symptoms such as polio and even insomnia.
However, cinnabar itself is relatively cheap, so many manufacturers increase the content of cinnabar in drugs in order to improve the curative effect brought by cinnabar. If cinnabar is used excessively for a long time, it will cause very serious harm to the human body and also affect the nervous function of the human body. Therefore, Chinese medicine containing cinnabar should be eaten as little as possible, so as to avoid the harm of cinnabar to human body to a great extent.
4. A traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials
With the accelerated pace of life and the hot weather now, many people will get angry, so more and more people like to take traditional Chinese medicine with heat-clearing and detoxification. In fact, although the traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials has a certain effect of reducing fire, it is easy to cause gout and other diseases when we take it for a long time. Therefore, in order to relieve symptoms such as excessive internal heat, Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials is not the only choice. We can choose healthier and safer food.
At present, there are many foods on the market that can clear away heat and detoxify. As long as you eat delicious food, you can achieve the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and you can also avoid the influence of this kind of Chinese medicine on your body.
Although Chinese medicine is good, it should be taken in a healthy way in different categories, otherwise health care will become a rootless tree.
Traditional Chinese medicine plays an irreplaceable role in our hearts, but everything or material has advantages and disadvantages, and traditional Chinese medicine as health care is no exception. Therefore, in our daily life, we must know the substance content of traditional Chinese medicine in order to reduce the harm to the body. Only in this way can we reduce the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine and achieve the effect of health preservation.
Besides taking Chinese medicine for health, reasonable exercise and good living habits are of great help to health. With a healthy diet, the body can stay in a healthy range for a long time. If we take Chinese medicine, we will form bad habits, which actually has a great impact on our health, so we should recognize Chinese medicine and what we need for health.
