I have had the experience of drinking Chinese medicine. Let me answer these two questions.
1. Why does it take a long time for Chinese medicine to have an effect? Anyone who has drunk Chinese medicine should know that the process of taking Chinese medicine to treat diseases is longer than taking western medicine. In other words, the effect of taking Chinese medicine is slower than that of taking western medicine for the same disease. Therefore, many patients and friends who have eaten Chinese medicine or are about to eat Chinese medicine have such questions. How long will it take to take Chinese medicine to have an effect?
In fact, we can't generalize how long it takes to drink Chinese medicine, because different people have different constitutions, different diseases and different prescriptions. Therefore, the time to take effect after taking traditional Chinese medicine is also inconsistent.
I personally have a bad stomach. I have the experience of taking Chinese medicine, and I have been taking Chinese medicine to recuperate my body at present. I felt the effect after taking Chinese medicine, about a week later.
I often had a stomachache at that time. Because I ate a lot of western medicine, it didn't work. Then I found a well-known local Chinese doctor. At that time, the doctor diagnosed me and said that I was yang-deficient and my gastrointestinal diseases were cold.
For the first time, he didn't give me a prescription directly, but gave me several compound medicines to eat. After eating for half a month, I went back to him and drank Chinese medicine soup. After drinking Chinese medicine soup for a week, I feel stronger, and the symptoms of diarrhea have also improved to some extent.
I used to be thinner, but the frequency of diarrhea decreased after taking medicine. Slowly, I became fat after boiling water.
So far, I have been drinking Chinese medicine for about a year. Although it lasts for a long time, the effect is really better than taking western medicine. When I take medicine, I am not in a hurry to get rid of the disease, just as Chinese medicine says: those who indulge in chronic diseases do not seek quick recovery. ? It means that if you are sick to a certain extent, you can't worry. So I think, if you want to treat yourself with Chinese medicine, you must not pursue speed. Because unlike western medicine, it has an immediate effect after taking medicine.
2. Are there no side effects after that? The answer to this question is no.
Although the side effects of drinking traditional Chinese medicine soup are relatively small, especially compared with eating western medicine, the side effects of drinking traditional Chinese medicine are much smaller. However, it cannot be said that drinking Chinese medicine has no side effects at all. Sometimes after drinking a course of medicine, you need to go to Chinese medicine again every once in a while and continue to drink Chinese medicine. The first reason for doing this is to see the curative effect after drinking the medicine, and the second reason is to worry that drinking the medicine will cause certain damage to the liver and kidney. After all, drinking Chinese medicine is not better than drinking western medicine. Drinking Chinese medicine is a long process. During this long period of time, the side effects of drinking Chinese medicine also exist.
