How much do you know about the taboos of Chinese medicine formulas?

Traditional Chinese medicine is the essence of our country's culture. Now, no matter how Western medical technology develops, traditional Chinese medicine is still passed down from generation to generation and occupies a certain position in the medical community. Each Chinese medicine condenses the hard work and wisdom of the working people of the Chinese nation for thousands of years and is beginning to be more and more recognized and accepted by the world. Moreover, Chinese medicine is taken from flowers, plants and trees. Humans are nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Flowers and plants and humans are of the same roots. Therefore, Chinese medicine can treat diseases both symptomatically and fundamentally. So, what are the contraindications of Chinese medicine formulas? Let me introduce them to you below.

1. Do not overdose on Chinese medicine or supplements

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and prescribing the right medicine for the right disease. When the human body becomes sick, we need to first find out the cause, use the correct Chinese medicine to treat the cause, cure the disease, and take tonic medicine to help the body regain its essence and vitality. “All medicines are poisonous to some extent.” No matter how good a Chinese medicine is, it will become toxic if the dosage exceeds the suitable dosage for the human body. In addition to utilizing the properties of herbs on the human body, Chinese medicine also uses poison to fight poison: the toxicity of one or several Chinese herbs is first used to fight human diseases, and then other Chinese herbs are taken to neutralize them. Therefore, if you take Chinese medicine or tonic medicine in excess of the appropriate dosage, the body will be poisoned, and the disease will not be cured but the drug's effects will backfire, causing harm to the body.

Solution: It is recommended that when taking Chinese medicine, you should communicate with your Chinese medicine practitioner frequently to assess your physical condition. The dosage should be changed as the condition changes to avoid excessive medication.

2. Avoid cold food while taking Chinese medicine

Being ill usually makes people feel exhausted, extremely tired and weak. Generally, Chinese medicine practitioners will prescribe some mild and mild tonic medicines to patients before and after treatment to help the body resist the invasion of the disease, or to speed up the body's recovery after the disease is cured. While taking Chinese medicine, you should avoid eating cold or cool food. This is because cold food can damage the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach are damaged, digestion and absorption will be affected. Without a good supply of nutrition, recovery will be very poor. In addition, it should be noted that, regardless of whether you are healthy or not, frequent consumption of cold foods, such as cold drinks and food just taken out of the refrigerator, will lead to a decrease in the frequency of bioelectric firing of internal organs, vasoconstriction, and a decrease in blood supply. Therefore, it is best to eat less raw and cold foods.

Introduced above are some of the contraindications of traditional Chinese medicine. I believe everyone has already known about them. I would also like to tell you that traditional Chinese medicine has many varieties, complex sources, and greatly different properties. Only by mastering and applying it comprehensively, systematically and accurately can we cure diseases and strengthen our body. Otherwise, it will cause illness and harm our body. Although Chinese medicine is good, you must choose the right one. Everyone must remember this.
