In recent years, with the increase of sub-health groups, not only middle-aged and elderly people pay attention to health preservation, but also many young people are involved. They usually have a cup of wolfberry tea in their hands when they are free. However, although the topic of health preservation has been heated up, there are still many people who don't understand Chinese medicine. In the case of unauthorized use, they did not improve their health, but showed other symptoms. Then, in the process of TCM health preservation, what misunderstandings must not be caught?

Chinese herbal tea has no side effects.

Many people think that compared with eating western medicine and drinking tea brewed with Chinese herbal medicine, there is no need to worry about side effects. In fact, this kind of behavior belongs to the big heart, as the saying goes, "medicine is three points poisonous, medicine is more poisonous than tiger." Poison here refers to the folk prescription of Chinese medicine. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, excess of qi and blood and decline of yin and yang will cause disease. When using medicinal materials, we should make use of their bias to correct and achieve the balance of yin and yang.

For example, such as "cold people are hot, hot people are cold", which is taken into account. Therefore, if you don't know your physique, making tea with Chinese herbal medicine at will will cause a series of side effects. You should first confirm your physique through Chinese medicine. Not only that, considering the endurance of the body, it is not appropriate to drink tea with medicinal materials for a long time, and the time and weight are subject to the doctor's advice, which is really beneficial to health.

Others can use it for themselves.

Now everyone can see all kinds of recipes to share through some health programs or video platforms. According to the description of the referee, it seems that as long as it is a similar disease, it can be used and put away. In fact, before using prescriptions, you should first recognize your symptoms and physique, whether it is really suitable for the indications of these prescriptions, and never blindly follow them.

Chinese medicine pays attention to one person, each person's physique, the severity of illness and so on. Is different. Take stomach discomfort to collect, some are caused by stomach heat, some are caused by stomach cold. Can patients with stomach cold be treated with Wei Re Fang? In addition, some prescriptions that are more suitable for the physique of the elderly, if young people use them, will the effect be obvious? Therefore, don't think that other people's prescriptions are equally useful in your own hands.

Expensive herbs are good.

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to appropriateness, not to buying gifts, but to paying more attention to price. No matter how good and expensive the medicine is, if it is used by the wrong person, it will bring harm, but it will not cure the disease. Among them, the abuse of ginseng is very common, which makes the truth that "the abuse of ginseng is as toxic as poison" gradually understood by most people.

Ginseng is sweet, slightly bitter, warm and flat. It has the effects of invigorating qi, promoting fluid production, calming the nerves, and can improve a series of symptoms such as physical weakness, weak pulse, spleen deficiency, anorexia, etc. But the situation of people with physical weakness is different, such as qi deficiency, yin deficiency, blood deficiency and yang deficiency. When conditioning, don't think that it is good to pursue high-priced tonic herbs that suit you.

In addition, the instruments used in Chinese medicine are also exquisite. Generally, materials are mainly sand and ceramics, and easily decomposed metal utensils such as copper, iron and aluminum cannot be used. In a word, in the process of using Chinese herbal medicine for health preservation, we must be careful not to fall into a misunderstanding, which will lead to health preservation failure and greater harm. Before taking medicine, you must know your own situation and follow the doctor's advice during taking medicine.
