Plaster, also known as ointment, is a traditional Chinese medicine formula, which has the functions of tonifying deficiency, treating diseases, conditioning the body and improving physique. With the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, cream, a special product of dignitaries in the past, has also flown into the homes of ordinary people and become a good medicine for people to regulate their bodies, improve their physique and treat diseases.

When is the best time to eat cream? It should be said that the cream is suitable for all seasons, but there is a folk saying that "winter supplements and spring kills tigers", and it is better to eat nourishing drugs in winter. According to the viewpoint of correspondence between man and nature, the characteristics of the four seasons are analyzed, namely, "Spring is born, summer is long, autumn is harvested, and winter is hidden". Due to the need to keep out the cold, the human body needs more food in quantity and quality than in hot days. On the contrary, it is not easy to digest tonic cream on a hot day, which is one of the reasons why it is easy to make up in winter. At the same time, due to the cold weather in winter, human metabolism is reduced and consumption is reduced. Tonifying in winter is not only to make up for deficiency, but also to prepare for the coming year, so that the coming year will not be sick, less sick and full of energy. Therefore, winter tonic is just right.

So, when is the best time to eat ointment in winter? Generally speaking, about 50 days from the date of winter is the best time for the solstice, that is, "the first nine days" to "the sixth nine days" (the first nine days from the date of winter are the first nine days of the solstice, and the second nine days are the second nine days ...).
