1, notes on medicinal liquor
According to syndrome differentiation, medicinal liquor is usually divided into therapeutic medicinal liquor and health medicinal liquor.
Therapeutic medicinal liquor must have clear indications, scope of use, methods of use, dosage and contraindications, and should generally be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
Although health medicinal liquor may not be as strict as therapeutic medicinal liquor, it should be very cautious. Because everyone's constitution is different, their age is different, their tolerance to wine is different, and the drinking season is different, so they can't drink casually. Now some people don't pay enough attention to choice, and they often eat indiscriminately without differentiating symptoms and signs, resulting in bad consequences.
What needs to be clear is that no matter what kind of medicinal liquor, we should pay attention to syndrome differentiation, choose appropriate and correct drinking according to physical needs.
It varies from person to person. Moderate drinking of medicinal liquor can regulate qi and blood, dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and has certain benefits. But improper drinking or excessive intake will be harmful to health. Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty clearly pointed out: "If you drink less, your blood will flow, strengthen your spirit to keep out the cold and relieve your worries;" Excessive drinking will make you sad, hurt your qi and blood, hurt your stomach and lose your essence, and cause phlegm fire. "Because people's gender, age, living habits, physical strength and seasonal climate are different, the drinking amount of medicinal liquor will vary from person to person.
In terms of gender, women have physiological characteristics such as pregnancy and childbirth, so it is not appropriate to drink medicinal liquor during pregnancy and lactation. During menstruation, if menstruation is normal, it is not advisable to drink medicated wine with strong blood circulation. In terms of age, the elderly and infirm should reduce the consumption of medicinal liquor because of their slow metabolism. Children's growth and development are not yet mature, and their organ functions are not yet perfect, so they are generally not suitable for drinking.
Pay attention to avoid drinking medicinal liquor, and try to avoid taking other drugs at the same time, because some drugs will increase the toxicity of alcohol, or cause side effects when combined with medicinal liquor, or affect the curative effect.
For example, antihypertensive drug hydralazine, diuretic uric acid, antidepressant cola and so on. If taken with medicinal liquor, it will enhance the toxicity of alcohol; Taking anticonvulsant phenytoin sodium, hypoglycemic drug tolbutamide and insulin while drinking medicinal liquor will affect the curative effect; Taking metronidazole, diazepam, diphenhydramine and diazepam at the same time when drinking medicinal liquor will increase the side effects of these drugs.
People suffering from liver disease, hypertension, heart disease and alcohol allergy should ban or use medicinal liquor with caution. At the same time, drinking medicinal liquor should also pay attention to taboos, no sexual intercourse, and no bathing after drinking. In addition, we should also pay attention to distinguish between external medicine wine and internal medicine wine, and don't confuse them.
2, service methods and taboos
Generally speaking, it is better to take medicinal liquor warm, which is conducive to the play of drug efficacy. Its dosage can be determined according to the nature of the drug and everyone's drinking habits. Generally, drink 10 ~ 30ml each time, once every morning and evening.
Or according to the condition and the nature and concentration of drugs used. Some tonic medicinal liquor can also be taken with meals. Drink slowly, while eating and ordering. People with low alcohol consumption can filter the soaked medicinal liquor with gauze and add appropriate amount of cold sugar water or honey water. Diluted medicinal liquor is more suitable for taste.
For those who have therapeutic effects, it is not appropriate to take them again after recovery, and it is not appropriate to "indulge in depravity" with medicinal liquor, so as to avoid excessive medicinal properties and damage the body after drinking. It takes a long time to take tonics to have an effect, and you can't drink them for quick results.
Medicinal liquor is not suitable for everyone, but also varies from person to person. For example, women have physiological characteristics such as menstruation and childbirth, and it is not appropriate to use medicinal liquor during pregnancy and lactation; During menstruation, if menstruation is normal, it is not advisable to take medicated wine with blood circulation promoting effect.
On the contrary, young adults can use more because of their relatively vigorous metabolism. Children's growth and development are not yet mature, and the organ function is not yet complete, so it is generally not suitable for taking. If the illness really needs it, we should also pay attention to the right amount.
People who are used to drinking at ordinary times can drink a little more than the average person, but they should also be measured and not excessive. People who are not used to drinking can gradually increase the amount they need to take from hours, or they can take it after boiling water with cold water.
This meal is not suitable for hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, peptic ulcer, infiltrative or cavitary tuberculosis, epilepsy, cardiac insufficiency, chronic renal insufficiency and other diseases. , so as not to aggravate the condition. People who are allergic to alcohol and patients with skin diseases should ban or use medicinal liquor with caution.
