Now it’s winter time again, and the “paste fever” in Shanghai is heating up, and it’s the right time to take tonic. With the continuous improvement of living standard and the deepening of the concept of Chinese medicine, the health care prescriptions loved by the court in the past are becoming a fashionable trend of health care for ordinary people. However, the cream formula for the right way to play a miraculous effect, so do not blindly, should avoid the following misunderstandings. 1, popular into the formula, easy to take. Nowadays, there are various ready-made creams on the market, such as “beauty formula”, “acne formula” and “sleep formula”, which are dazzling. In the eyes of many people, eating cream recipes is not only fashionable, but also can prevent diseases and strengthen the body, so they blindly DIY up. In fact, ready-made prescriptions are not suitable for everyone, it is best to adjust the symptoms of the tonic. Many people think that the more expensive the herbs of the cream prescription, the better, so the prescription must have wild ginseng, cordyceps, deer antler, bird’s nest and other precious medicines. In fact, the effectiveness of the poultice formula is determined by whether the evidence is well identified. The legislation should be used for eliminating and supplementing, and not to make up for small diseases, but to formulate the theory, method, formula and medicine under the premise of protecting the gastric energy and unrestricted blood flow. Medicine is not the right evidence, not only a waste of resources, the more the more Yong, but will miss the time, aggravate the disease. Of course, the herbs should be selected from the Tao, should not pursue expensive. 3, one person open cream, the whole family to serve. Only according to the characteristics of individual physique “tailor-made”, can play a tonic effect, forbidden “a thousand people a party”. Even if the purpose is the same, there may be differences in the use of poultices for people with different physiques. For example, if a person with a deficient qi constitution is prone to colds, weakness, easy sweating, tasteless diet, etc., he should use ginseng, astragalus, poria, atractylodes, etc.; if a person with a deficient blood constitution is pale, dizzy and forgetful, insomnia, etc., he should use gum, rehmannia, angelica, peony, etc. 4, for quick results, shorten the taking time. It is often said that many people want to take convenient, the pursuit of quick results, take a few times a day, half a month to finish a material cream, to finish its work in one, the result is counterproductive! This is not only detrimental to the absorption of the cream, but is too greasy to damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in stomach distension and indigestion symptoms. In addition, during the period of taking cream, you should avoid eating and drinking a lot, and you should also suspend the use of cream when you have a cold or other acute illness. When acute illnesses occur, the normal physiological environment of a person changes, and other commonly taken drugs at the same time, affecting each other’s efficacy. 5, the essence of the cream, both the young and old suitable for the cream in addition to the identification, according to the patient’s age and the medicine should be different, the elderly and adolescents should be treated differently. The elderly often suffer from cerebrovascular disease or respiratory disease, more phlegm and blood stasis mixed, but also have symptoms of qi deficiency, if the root cause of the problem, it is easy to lead to stay kung fu as a problem; many adolescents because of parental love, take cream to supplement the body, whether hoping to increase height, or the pursuit of education, do not rush to use drugs for kidney, which is likely to lead to precocious puberty, the lifelong harm of children. 6, directly open cream, ignore the “open road” Before taking the cream, first by the physician detailed medical history, forensic analysis, to give prescription, before the official cream to take, in the form of soup to take, and observe the reaction after taking the medicine, to prepare for a good cream. The function of “open-way prescription” not only can strengthen the spleen and stomach to facilitate the absorption of the cream, but also facilitate the test of the efficacy of the medicine, and understand the patient’s reaction to the medicine and adaptability to the medicine, so as to have the right target. The effectiveness of taking prescriptions lies in the feedback and adjustment, neglecting the “open road” can not only lead to “ineffective” poultices, but also “latent” hidden dangers. However, if you blindly take winter tonic without asking the question of deficiency and regardless of the evidence, you may experience vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dizziness and other symptoms. Therefore, although the poultice is good, it can only be effective if it is used properly.
