With the end of the era of pseudo-healthcare represented by the “miracle doctor” Zhang Wuben and his illusion of health care “Wuben Hall”, we can’t help but ask, in addition to clapping our hands, what else can we believe in health care and how do we actually take care of ourselves? Here, we reintroduce the traditional medicine “cream” is undoubtedly a need of the hour. According to Chinese medicine, heaven and man correspond to each other, the unity of heaven and man, people should follow the natural four changes of “spring and summer, autumn harvest and winter collection”. Therefore, if winter is hidden, spring will be born and summer will be grown. In terms of treatment, it is also known as “summer disease and winter treatment”. Winter tonic” is an unchanging topic in traditional Chinese culture. Winter tonic can not only strengthen the capital and improve the immunity of the body, but also help to expel diseases and eliminate evils, so that the body can re-enter a balanced state with the replenishment of yin and yang qi, blood and fluid. It is a thick and semi-fluid dosage made by adding sugar or honey after decocting and concentrating the Chinese herbal medicine with water. Paste agent has a long history, especially prevalent in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Ten whole tonic cream, Snow Pear Cream, Turtle Cream, etc. are all familiar classic creams. The effect of the cream is mainly nourishing, but also has a moderate therapeutic effect, and the medicine is mild and nourishing. The poultices either harmonize yin and yang, benefit qi and nourish blood, invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dredge liver and regulate qi, calm and tranquilize the mind, or strengthen the spleen and kidney, etc., in order to nourish the weakness, resist decay and prolong the life, correct the subhealthy state, prevent and cure diseases, which is a good tonic for northerners in the winter season. However, due to historical and cultural reasons, although cream prescriptions have been prevalent in the Central Plains and South China for hundreds of years, there are only a few people who take cream prescriptions for tonic in winter in the North. Although the cream formula is good, “winter tonic” is not necessary for everyone, so there are certain suitable groups for taking the cream formula: 1, chronic diseases and recovery period people winter can be used for patients with chronic diseases while treating methods to promote the treatment of disease; after the disease, surgery, bleeding in the recovery stage can promote physical recovery; 2, sub-healthy people In modern society, the work, life pressure and labor intensity of young people are very large (mainly mental tension, brain overdraft), while bad habits can also cause the normal physiological functions of the human body to change substantially, so that the body in a subhealthy state, which requires timely overall conditioning; 3, the elderly group of various physiological functions tend to decline, winter tonic, can enhance physical fitness and slow down aging; 4, the female population Winter tonic, through nourishment, the whole body’s nutrition is constantly replenished, anti-aging ability is enhanced, and the face can be rosy and youthful; at the same time, some gynecological diseases can be nourished and treated; 5, adolescents and children are suitable for those who are weak, or who have not recovered after a serious illness, and for those who have used their brains excessively for a long time. For children, it is suitable for children with congenital deficiencies, delayed development, or children who are often prone to diseases. The essence of Chinese medicine is to identify the evidence, so it is best to ask an experienced herbalist to prescribe a cream formula according to one’s physique, to avoid “one for a thousand” fast food consumption. Because the formula takes into account the ingredients of tonic, individual treatment, spleen strengthening and stomach priming, the composition of the prescription is larger than the general Chinese medicine prescription, with about 30 to 40 herbs in it. In this way, it seems to be more troublesome for patients to boil it at home, and the boiling process is more elaborate than the decoction of general Chinese medicine tonics, so the poultice prescriptions can usually be processed on behalf of patients in Chinese medicine hospitals. Generally speaking, about 50 days from the winter solstice is the best time to take poultices. Take one spoonful in the morning on an empty stomach for the first time, and then increase to one spoonful in the morning and one in the evening after a week. If necessary, a small amount of warm yellow wine can be taken. Some ointments can be contained, so that the medicine can be slowly dissolved in the mouth and swallowed to allow the medicine to work better locally. Adults should take 1 tablespoon of 30g each time; adolescents should reduce by half, children should follow the doctor’s instruction for the appropriate amount, and infants are forbidden to take it. The cream formula has many nourishing ingredients, so it should be stored in the refrigerator in time after it is activated, and a dry spoon should be used to take a meal when taking it. Avoid taking cold, greasy, spicy and other indigestible and strongly stimulating food during the period of taking the cream. Avoid eating radish when taking ginseng-containing formula. Avoid pig and sheep blood and iron when taking the cream containing Shou Wu. The cream should not be taken together with milk. It is also best not to take coffee, cola, tea and other beverages while taking it.
