Health care note: What are the taboos for drinking Chinese medicine to be effective?
First, what can't I eat when I drink Chinese medicine?

1, send grain

And "hair" can be said to have the meaning of promoting the deterioration of the disease to a large extent. This kind of food is the product of wind-induced phlegm to help fire, and its "hair" varies with the degree of food choice of diseases. This kind of food includes mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, mustard greens, pumpkins, pheasants, pig's head meat, female pork and so on. For example, patients with hyperactivity of liver yang and endogenous liver wind should avoid pheasants and pig's head meat; Patients with skin diseases such as furuncle, furuncle, sore and carbuncle should avoid eating mushrooms, bamboo shoots, pheasants, pig's head meat and female pork, otherwise it will accelerate redness and pus; People with gastrointestinal diseases are forbidden to eat pumpkin, because pumpkin contains sugar. Eating too much will produce more acid and stimulate the gastrointestinal tract.

2. Cold food

This kind of food is mostly cold food, whose main function is to clear away heat and quench thirst, and is suitable for diseases with heat syndrome. However, it is easy to affect gastrointestinal function, and people with deficiency-cold constitution and patients with gastrointestinal diseases should avoid it. For example, white radish is cold, which has the effects of promoting digestion, resolving phlegm and regulating qi. People with deficiency-cold constitution and gastrointestinal diseases eat it, and the cold gets worse and the gastrointestinal function gets worse. In addition, when taking tonics such as ginseng at the same time, because the medicinal properties of the drugs are biased, the efficacy of the tonics can be reduced or eliminated, so radish and ginseng should not be taken together.

3, fishy food

Most of these foods are salty and contain foreign protein, which is easy to cause allergic reactions. Eating too much is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach and induce diseases. Therefore, people with spleen and stomach diseases should not eat too much, especially those with allergies. These foods include yellow croaker, carp, hairtail, mussel, shrimp and crab. Carp, sardines, catfish, yellow croaker, crab and yellow snail are the most likely to cause allergies. Fish-flavored food is also a hair care product.

4. Sour food

Too much acid will irritate the stomach, so patients with hyperacidity will have gastrointestinal ulcers quickly. Astringent, mostly containing tannins. For example, tea contains tannin, while strong tea has a higher content. When taken together with Chinese herbal medicine, it can combine with some protein, biological alkaloids and heavy metal salts in Chinese herbal medicine to produce precipitation, which affects the absorption of effective components of the medicine and also affects the absorption of nutrients such as protein. Therefore, when taking Chinese herbal medicine, it is generally not appropriate to take it with strong tea.

5. Spicy food

This kind of food is pungent and hot, and has the effect of activating yang and strengthening stomach. If you eat too much, it is easy to produce phlegm fire and dissipate qi and consume blood. Therefore, this diet is only suitable for patients with cold syndrome, but not for patients with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity combined with blood syndrome, fever, hemorrhoids and leakage, carbuncle and furuncle. This kind of food includes onions, garlic, leeks, ginger, wine, peppers and so on. Hot pepper, if eaten by people with fever, constipation, short and red urine, dry mouth, sore throat, epistaxis, red tongue and other symptoms, will inevitably aggravate the symptoms of "getting angry", thus offsetting the efficacy of clearing heat, cooling blood and nourishing yin. Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners with heat syndrome can't eat Chili together.

5, greasy food

This kind of food includes animal fat and fried and fried hard food. Greasy is harmful to the spleen and stomach, and those with exogenous diseases, jaundice and diarrhea should not eat. Fried and fried foods are hard, hot and difficult to digest, and those with gastrointestinal diseases and "excessive internal heat" are forbidden to eat.

Second, drink Chinese medicine to avoid food, these foods can't be eaten together:

1, a traditional Chinese medicine for warming and nourishing, avoid white radish

Ginseng tonifies qi, and radish promotes qi and reduces qi. If radish and ginseng are eaten at the same time, the qi-invigorating effect of ginseng may be weakened. Other warm drugs, such as American ginseng, Radix Codonopsis, Radix Astragali, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, etc. It is similar to ginseng and should not be taken with radish. Radish, whether eaten raw or cooked, has the function of promoting qi circulation, so we should pay attention to avoid using it with tonic. In addition, mung beans that clear heat and detoxify will also "offset" the nourishing effects of drugs such as ginseng.

2. Chinese medicine practitioners who nourish the stomach are "afraid" of glutinous rice

Glutinous rice, meat, beans and other foods are not easily digested. People who are taking traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating the spleen and nourishing the stomach had better eat less, so as not to increase the burden on the stomach and affect the recovery of patients. Elderly people whose gastrointestinal function has declined, if they eat more of this kind of food, will often lead to unbearable gastrointestinal burden.

3, antipyretics avoid peppers

If you are taking bitter and cold medicines such as rhubarb, coptis root and scutellaria root, or cold medicines such as peony bark, phellodendron bark, honeysuckle flower, platycodon grandiflorum, mulberry leaves and forsythia, you should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods such as pepper, pepper, curry and alcohol, otherwise the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and cooling blood will be weakened.

4, warm medicine is most afraid of cold drinks.

Although it is snowing heavily outdoors, in the house, heating and air conditioning create a warm spring-like environment. So many people still like to drink cold drinks in winter. This may make people's gastrointestinal tract empty unconsciously. Eating too much cold food will lower the temperature of the stomach, which is not conducive to food digestion.

5, treat allergies, do not eat mangoes

Nowadays, even in winter in the north, we can buy tropical fruits such as mango and litchi. I want to remind you that besides seafood, peanuts and so on. Mango and litchi are also "hair products". People who are taking traditional Chinese medicine to treat allergic diseases such as asthma and dermatitis are advised not to eat such foods.

The above introduces the taboo of drinking Chinese medicine for you. When drinking Chinese medicine for warming and nourishing, we should be careful not to eat white radish, and we should also pay attention to eating less hair and cold things.
