At present, there are more than 5000 kinds of commonly used Chinese medicines in clinical application, of which more than 500 kinds can be used as raw materials for medicinal diet. Such as Cordyceps sinensis, Ginseng, Eucommia ulmoides, Gastrodia elata, Angelica sinensis, Lycium barbarum, etc. The compatibility, processing and application of these drugs and food need to follow the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, so that their functions are complementary and coordinated, otherwise mistakes will occur or the curative effect will be affected. Therefore, China traditional medicine has strict taboos on the application of medicated diet.
Contraindications of drug compatibility in medicated diet follow the theory of Chinese Medicine, which generally refers to eighteen opposites and nineteen fears.
The specific content of the "eighteen antis" is:
1, licorice, spurge, seaweed, Daphne genkwa;
2. Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, Fructus Trichosanthis, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Radix Ampelopsis and Rhizoma Bletillae;
3. Veratrum nigrum, Radix Adenophorae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix Scrophulariae, Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Asari and Radix Paeoniae.
The specific content of "nineteen fears" is:
* Sulfur is afraid of nitrate,
* Mercury is afraid of arsenic,
* Wolf poison is afraid of monks,
Croton is afraid of Petunia,
* Cloves are afraid of turmeric,
* Radix Aconiti and Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii are afraid of rhinoceros horns,
* tooth nitrate is afraid of triangular prism,
* Guan Guiwei's halloysite,
* Ginseng is afraid of trogopterori.
The above incompatibility can be used as a reference for medication, but it is not. In the application of ancient and modern prescriptions, there are also some anti-terrorism uses. For example, the party involved in the use of Trogopterori can tonify the spleen and stomach and relieve pain, and it must be applied under the guidance of an experienced clinician.
Second, the compatibility of drugs and food taboos is a summary of the experience of the ancients, and future generations follow this.
Although some taboos have yet to be scientifically proved, it is advisable to refer to traditional sayings and use them carefully before drawing reliable conclusions.
Generally speaking, antiperspirants avoid cold, spleen and stomach drugs avoid greasy, detumescence and qi-regulating drugs avoid beans, cough and asthma drugs avoid fishy smell, and antidiarrheal drugs avoid melons and fruits.
These taboos mainly include:
* Pork against ebony, Platycodon grandiflorum, Coptidis Rhizoma, Coriander Yellow, Lily and Rhizoma Atractylodis;
* Mutton against Pinellia ternata and Acorus calamus, and avoid copper and cinnabar;
* Dog meat opposes Phytolacca acinosa and avoids almonds; Carassius auratus avoids magnolia officinalis and Ophiopogon japonicus;
* Pig blood should avoid rehmannia glutinosa and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb; Pig heart avoids Evodia rutaecarpa;
* carp avoid cinnabar; Sparrow meat should avoid atractylodes macrocephala and plums;
* Onions should avoid Changshan, Rehmannia, Polygonum Multiflori and honey;
* garlic avoid rehmannia glutinosa and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb;
* Radish should avoid Rehmannia glutinosa and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb;
* vinegar avoids poria cocos; Smilax glabra, clematis root avoid tea, etc. These can be used as reference for clinical application.
Third, the compatibility of food and food taboos The ancients also had some taboos about the compatibility of food and food. Although the reason is not sufficient, it can be used as a reference in the application of medicinal diet.
These taboos are:
* Buckwheat, pigeons, crucian carp and soybeans should be avoided in pork;
* Mutton is jealous;
* Avoid garlic in dog meat;
* Carassius auratus avoid mustard and pork liver;
* pig blood avoids soybeans;
* Pig liver should avoid buckwheat, bean paste, carp sausage and fish;
* Carp avoid dog meat; Turtle meat should avoid amaranth, wine and fruit;
* Eels avoid dog meat and blood; Sparrow meat avoids pig liver;
* Duck eggs should avoid mulberries and plums; Chicken avoid mustard, glutinous rice and plums;
* Turtle meat should avoid pork, rabbit, duck, eggs and amaranth. The main application of these taboos is that they should cause qi stagnation, disease, wind and sores.
4. Taboo of patients is a content of TCM theory and practice.
It mainly includes two categories:
First, certain diseases avoid certain foods.
Such as: liver disease should not be spicy; Heart disease is not salty; Edema avoids salt; Bone diseases are sour and sweet; Gallbladder disease should not be greasy; Cold diseases avoid fruits; Fish and shrimp are taboo for sores; Dizziness, tea, insomnia, avoid pepper and pepper.
The other category refers to certain diseases and certain foods.
For example, those with internal heat due to yin deficiency, inflammation due to phlegm-fire and body fluid exhaustion should avoid eating warm, dry and feverish diets such as ginger, pepper and mutton. Avoid eating irritating products such as mustard, garlic, crabs and eggs after exogenous diseases, throat diseases, eye diseases, sores and acne; Anyone who is hot and humid should avoid eating caramel, cheese crisp, pork, rice wine and other foods. Anyone with moderate cold spleen deficiency, serious illness and postpartum should not eat watermelon, crab, snail, clam and plum. All kinds of blood loss, pregnant women and so on do not eat arrows, peppers, hemorrhoids and other blood-activating diets. During pregnancy, products that break blood and dredge menstruation are highly toxic, emetic and pungent.
Some taboos have been proved to be reasonable and some are unrealistic, which can be used as a reference in the application of medicinal diet.
