The harm of taking Chinese medicine for one month

Most Chinese medicinal materials have a relatively slow pharmacological effect on the human body. Therefore, if you want to regulate your body, you can only do it slowly by taking Chinese medicine. Therefore, the process of taking Chinese medicine is often a relatively long period of time. However, medicine is poisonous to some extent. If you take Chinese medicine for a long time to regulate your body, it may also cause certain harm to your body. So what kind of harm will it cause if a person takes Chinese medicine for a month?

Some people suffer from long-term illness and have to drink Chinese medicine all the time. Although Chinese medicine is very helpful in regulating the body, there is a Chinese saying that teachers are three parts poison, so drinking Chinese medicine for a long time is also harmful to our body. Let us explain the dangers of drinking Chinese medicine for a long time.

Long-term use of Chinese medicine has side effects, not only affecting the stomach, but more importantly, damaging the liver and kidneys, because most drug metabolism is carried out through these two main organs.

The absorption function of the stomach will affect the absorption of the drug, while the metabolic function of the liver and kidneys directly affects the efficacy and even endangers life. Pay attention to your physical condition during the important period of taking the drug and make comprehensive arrangements in time. In terms of diet, generally avoid spicy and irritating foods, seafood, overly greasy foods, raw and cold foods, and mung bean soup.

There are many taboos to be aware of: For example, if there is ginseng in the medicine, you cannot eat radish. Even if there is no ginseng, it is best not to eat radish because radish can reduce gas. General taboos: ice, watermelon, white radish, water spinach, pumpkin, bamboo shoots, glutinous rice, peppers, duck meat, pickled cabbage. Special taboos: There must be a two-hour interval between taking Western medicine or tea and taking Chinese medicine.

When taking Chinese medicine to clear internal heat, it is not advisable to eat hot foods such as onions, garlic, pepper, mutton, dog meat, etc.; when taking Chinese medicine to treat "cold syndrome", raw and cold foods should be avoided. If you eat prohibited foods while taking these medicines, the therapeutic effect will not be ideal or may even have the opposite effect. It is best to take Chinese medicine 30-60 minutes after a meal to avoid irritation of the gastric mucosa by the ingredients of the Chinese medicine.
