In daily life, there are a lot of "common sense" about health preservation, especially some seemingly impeccable truths that are passed down by word of mouth, which are actually wrong! Even many people blame Chinese medicine, but our Chinese medicine said, we don't carry this pot! These false rumors not only endanger public health, but also have a negative impact on the image of Chinese medicine. Eat Banlangen with a cold? Radix Isatidis is bitter and cold, and has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood and relieving sore throat. It is often used to treat wind-heat cold, but it can't be used for people with wind-cold cold cold, weak body and strong fire, and no heat toxicity. Especially don't be sick! If you are not sick, you should take bitter cold medicine such as Radix Isatidis, which will not only consume healthy qi, but also cause stomach qi damage due to bitter cold, resulting in loose stool, insufficient diet, cold abdominal pain and other symptoms. Long-term use of Radix Isatidis may also cause adverse reactions in hematopoietic system, especially in children and elderly patients. Drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water for heatstroke? It's hot in summer, and many people have Huoxiang Zhengqi water at home, but don't drink it wrong. Although Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is a summer-relieving agent, its key point of syndrome differentiation is cold. Commonly used for colds caused by exogenous wind-cold, internal injury and dampness stagnation or summer injury and summer dampness. Heatstroke is due to the invasion of summer heat, with high fever, sweating and fatigue as the main manifestations. Treatment should focus on clearing heat and purging fire, nourishing yin and relieving summer heat. Huoxiang Zhengqi Water has the functions of relieving exterior syndrome, removing dampness, regulating qi and regulating middle energizer. Its mild nature may aggravate the symptoms of heatstroke. Moreover, under the scorching sun, people will feel short of water, and Huoxiang Zhengqi has the function of dehumidification, so it is necessary to add fuel to the fire at this time. In fact, Huoxiang Zhengqi water is more suitable for those who are greedy for cold, such as walking from an air-conditioned room to a high temperature outdoor, or eating a lot of cold drinks when sweating, and cold pathogens go straight to the spleen and stomach, leading to the simultaneous invasion of summer heat and cold pathogens. Another point to pay special attention to is that Huoxiang Zhengqi Water contains alcohol, so don't drive after drinking it, which is easy to be recognized as drunk driving! Chinese medicine can't be eaten with mung beans? Mung beans have the same origin of medicine and food, and have the effects of clearing heat and relieving summer heat, diuresis and detoxification. Most people think that mung beans are the antidote, and they can't eat mung beans when drinking Chinese medicine. This statement is too absolute. In fact, whether you can eat mung beans when you eat Chinese medicine depends on the cold and heat of the disease and the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine you eat. Judging from the deficiency of cold and heat, if you suffer from heatstroke, urinary system infection, constipation and other heat syndromes, or are poisoned by aconite, aconite and Pinellia, you can eat mung beans while drinking Chinese medicine as an auxiliary treatment; If you suffer from cold syndrome such as chronic gastroenteritis, cold pain in joints of limbs, abdominal pain, diarrhea and dysmenorrhea, eating mung beans while taking Chinese medicine will aggravate your condition. Judging from the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine, eating mung beans will reduce the efficacy of ginseng, cinnamon, aconite cassia twig, dried ginger and asarum. Eating mung beans plays a supplementary role when taking heat-clearing traditional Chinese medicines such as Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix, Cortex Phellodendri, Folium Isatidis, Radix Isatidis, Calculus Bovis, Flos Lonicerae and Gypsum Fibrosum. Men's backache is kidney deficiency, must they tonify the kidney? Advertising campaigns such as "Ten Men and Nine Deficiencies" have made many middle-aged and elderly men think that they have kidney deficiency once they feel weak in waist and knees, so they take kidney-tonifying drugs at random. This is really ridiculous. Although backache is a symptom of kidney deficiency, it may also be caused by lumbar muscle strain, pancreatitis or prostatitis. If yin and yang in the body are in a state of balance, taking tonics indiscriminately will break the balance, leading to side effects such as excessive internal heat, dry throat and dry stool. Whether it is necessary to tonify the kidney, it is best to follow the doctor's advice. For most people, food tonic is better than medicine tonic. Winter is the best time to tonify kidney. People with kidney yin deficiency should eat more pork, duck, black beans, mung beans and wax gourd. People with kidney-yang deficiency should eat more mutton and leeks, protect their feet and sleep well. Cold hands and feet is palace cold, affect fertility? Cold hands and feet is a problem in many women's sexual life. They think they are suffering from palace cold and are worried about whether it will affect their fertility. In fact, this kind of worry is completely unnecessary. The term "palace cold" in Chinese medicine refers to a series of symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency in women, including menstrual cycle disorder, less menstrual flow, blood clots and even menstrual stop. Although cold hands and feet is one of the manifestations of palace cold, it does not mean palace cold. Cold hands and feet may also be caused by external factors such as cold living environment and love of cold food. People who are really afraid of the cold in the palace are more afraid of the cold than the average person, not only their hands and feet are cold, but also their whole body is cold. People with cold hands and feet should pay attention to keep warm, wear less navel clothes, exercise moderately, and avoid eating cold food and eat more leeks, walnuts and jujubes. Precious Chinese medicine must be good for your health? Many elderly people often regard precious medicinal materials such as cordyceps sinensis, donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng as treasures, and they want to eat a little when they are uncomfortable. Actually, this is not right. The premise of taking precious Chinese medicine is "symptomatic", and it is easy to make up if it is not symptomatic. For example, ginseng can tonify deficiency and replenish qi, but people who get angry will have nosebleeds instead. Taking too much of any medicine may be harmful to health. Long-term overdose can cause insomnia, irritability, bloating, loss of appetite, neurasthenia, elevated body temperature and even bleeding. In fact, there is no need to pursue precious herbs. Although some medicinal materials are cheap, their efficacy is not worse than that of precious medicinal materials. For example, tremella and bird's nest can nourish the skin, and Codonopsis pilosula and Ginseng can strengthen the spleen. The former is much cheaper than the latter. It is suggested that you should follow the doctor's advice and choose the appropriate tonic before using precious medicinal materials. It is beneficial to prolong life to supplement drugs with exercise and adjust diet and mentality. The longer the traditional Chinese medicine is kept, the better its efficacy. Some people have the habit of hoarding Chinese medicine. They think that Codonopsis pilosula, Angelica sinensis, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, Flos Lonicerae and other medicinal materials are relatively dry and have better efficacy after long-term storage. Colla Corii Asini, Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. They are all expensive, so there is room for appreciation if you hoard some. This is a wrong understanding. Under the influence of sunlight, air, temperature and humidity, a series of physical and chemical changes will occur in most animal and plant medicines. Some drugs will be moldy, moth-eaten, accelerate deterioration and affect the curative effect. Any medicinal material has a shelf life, which can be kept for six months to one year, up to two years, under the cool condition of 18~20℃. Shelf life of some commonly used Chinese medicines: Lycium barbarum and Cordyceps sinensis can be preserved under cold storage conditions 1 year; Ganoderma lucidum and saffron can be stored in sealed refrigeration for 2 years, and ginseng should not exceed 2 years, and both should be moth-proof; Mineral drugs such as gypsum, alum and ochre, and fossil drugs such as keel should be preserved for 5~7 years, and it is not suitable for long-term open storage; Dried tangerine peel, Pinellia ternata, Fructus Aurantii, Herba Ephedrae, Stellera chamaejasme, Evodia rutaecarpa, etc. In the traditional medication experience, it is called "six old people", but it can't be stored for too long. Can't eat "Mao" when you are injured? I often hear people of the older generation say that when there is a wound, don't eat "hair products" such as eggs, fish, tofu and leeks, otherwise it will affect the wound healing. This statement is not accurate. People often refer to "hair products" as foods that are easy to induce certain diseases or aggravate existing diseases. But usually, hair is also food, and moderate consumption will not cause side effects or discomfort to most people. Protein such as eggs and fish can also promote wound healing. Wound healing is mainly related to age and immunity. Once there is a wound, avoid water and infection according to the doctor's advice, and eat more refined protein foods such as fruits and vegetables, meat, fish and eggs to promote wound healing. If your body is abnormal, you should use drugs or treat it reasonably under the guidance of a professional doctor. We should also have a correct understanding of some folk remedies, ancient prescriptions and Laos, and we should not blindly listen to rumors.
