With the improvement of people's living standards, medical care has been paid more and more attention. At this extraordinary moment, if people can skillfully use the efficacy and characteristics of some traditional Chinese medicines and combine their own physical conditions, they can play a very good role in prevention and health care.
Nutrition is the material basis of immune function. Good nutrition can effectively ensure the immune function of the body and enhance the ability to resist virus infection. Traditional Chinese medicine has unparalleled advantages in health care. Most of these tonic drugs can improve the body's immunity, but the tonic of traditional Chinese medicine is not random tonic, but "tonic deficiency", and the principle of tonic is "tonic deficiency"
Deficiency can be divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency and blood deficiency. And taking medicine for the symptoms can make up the body. Regardless of the two syndromes of deficiency and excess, taking tonics indiscriminately can only aggravate the condition. The taboo of nourishing Chinese medicine is to make up at will, blindly follow the trend, and not distinguish between constitutions. Therefore, tonic must be based on your own physical condition, "what is missing", in order to get twice the result with half the effort.
Traditional Chinese medicine uses the bias of drugs to correct the bias of the body in order to achieve a balanced state. People should also pay attention to the characteristics of some traditional Chinese medicines when using them for health care in daily life. If it is used unreasonably, it will be counterproductive.
