Efficacy of dandelion
Dandelion is a herbaceous plant in Compositae, which is bitter and cold. Traditional Chinese medicine is mostly used for clearing away heat and toxic materials, reducing swelling and resolving hard mass, inducing diuresis and treating stranguria. I had a sore throat when I was a child. I picked some dandelions in the wild and came back to stew water. The effect is very good. This is because dandelion has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, dandelion also has special effects on mastitis and women with postpartum mammary duct obstruction, and dandelion can also play the role of diuresis and dehumidification, so its medicinal value as a blind Chinese herbal medicine is beyond doubt.

But dandelion is cold. If you drink too much at a time, you will have diarrhea and stomachache.
The doctor reminded that taking dandelion for a long time is not only bad for your health, but also may bring some harm. As the saying goes, dandelion is a kind of Chinese medicine. If you don't take it for a long time, it's not only harmful to your body, but also harmful to your body. For example, the most direct cause is gastrointestinal discomfort, which leads to diarrhea. After a long time, the long-term accumulation of drugs in the body will also cause damage to liver and kidney function.
The efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine should not be equated with health preservation. The function of dandelion was introduced. Sticking to taking dandelion has a certain therapeutic effect on some diseases of human body, but it is not omnipotent, let alone following the trend. No matter what kind of body you drink, it will have adverse reactions. Chinese medicine pays attention to "examining the syndrome and seeking the cause, treating according to syndrome differentiation, and sending prescription and medication". Taking dandelion varies from person to person and from illness to illness! If you feel upset in your stomach, vomit, abdominal pain, or severe diarrhea after taking dandelion. Stop using it immediately!
For dandelion, honeysuckle, notoginseng, medlar and other Chinese herbal medicines, we should treat their efficacy correctly and take them under the guidance of Chinese medicine, rather than taking them without permission.
In fact, for most healthy people, the healthiest drink is a cup of boiled water.
The doctor warned that dandelion is very good, but you must know three taboos. 1, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, do not drink alone.
Dandelion is cold. For people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, don't drink dandelion alone if you want the health benefits of dandelion. You can add some mild things to neutralize it before drinking, such as adding some roses, red dates and ginger slices. Or choose compound dandelion tea to soak in water.
2. People with allergic reactions should not drink alcohol.
Dandelion is not suitable for everyone, because very few people will be allergic after soaking dandelion in water. For example, after taking dandelion water or dandelion wine, the body appears small papules or itching symptoms, which is an allergic situation. Once an allergic situation occurs, it is not suitable for drinking.
3, cold and cold are disabled!
However, all plants with medicinal value, even if they are listed in the homology catalogue of medicine and food, can not be eaten as ordinary food without restraint, such as dandelion, which is cold in nature and good for heat syndrome. Therefore, people with yang deficiency and exogenous cold should try to avoid eating dandelion, otherwise it will not only prevent and treat diseases, but also be harmful to health.
4, the dosage should be scientific
In order to get better and faster results, many people like to increase the dosage of dandelion by themselves, which is actually very unscientific. If you take a lot of dandelion, it will easily lead to various gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea and so on.
For people with relevant indications, dandelion should not only be used in sufficient amount, but also in the right way. However, in daily life, in order to facilitate the operation, most people will choose to brew with hot water, but this method has the worst drug utilization rate, most of the efficacy is wasted, and the treatment effect can not meet the expectations of patients.
Therefore, if you want to use dandelion, it is best to take the form of decoction. It is suggested that dandelion/kloc-0.5 ~ 30g should be put into a medicine jar made of glass or casserole every day for decoction, and the filtered medicine juice should be taken twice, and it can be stopped after the illness is obviously relieved.
In addition, dandelion is indeed a good medicine for purging stomach fire, but only if there is real fire. Sometimes constipation, sore throat and aphtha are not caused by real fire. It is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment, even if there is a fire, stop taking the medicine to avoid hurting the spleen and stomach. Especially for adults and children with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.
