The majority of those who choose to take the cream tonic are such sub-healthy people and people with chronic diseases. 7 November will enter the winter festival, considering the winter tonic, conditioning people are gradually more and more. From now until January next year, several hospitals in Shandong Province such as Shandong Provincial Hospital and Provincial Qianfo Mountain Hospital will also be opened one after another. The folk proverb has “three nine to make up a winter, the next year no disease pain” said. In winter, the natural Yang Qi convergence, everything withered, plants and animals are into the dormant state, people should be natural, the winter metabolism is slow, in line with the “spring, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage” theory of traditional Chinese medicine, at this time to take tonic, is conducive to the essence of the material stored in the body, so as to enhance the body’s ability to fight disease and eliminate evil. Paste prescriptions have been handed down in the Jiangnan area for nearly two thousand years. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing’s “The Essentials of the Golden Horoscope” recorded the earliest record of internal ointment, however, the ointment at that time consisted of only a few ingredients and was relatively simple in treating illnesses. At that time, it was only available to the rich and powerful officials. Dr. Tan Weiyong, who studied under Professor Chen Xiangjun, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in Shanghai, said that in the Republic of China, a famous doctor in Shanghai prescribed a single cream prescription with a consultation fee of 100 foreigners, and the prescription often contained wild ginseng, cordyceps and other precious Chinese herbs. In order to promote the application of the cream prescriptions and benefit the general public, the common people’s cream prescriptions are mainly based on conventional Chinese medicine, and the ginseng is also mostly used relatively inexpensive planted ginseng, Korean ginseng, etc. Therefore, the price has come down and flown into ordinary people’s homes. Since 2009, the cream fever has gradually emerged in the north. Most of the people who come to the TCM clinics for prescriptions are “repeat customers”. Professor Zhang Wei, chief physician of the Department of Pulmonary Diseases, said that respiratory system diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, etc., easily aggravated by cold, some patients taking creams feedback, the cold is obviously less, even if the cold, and lung disease suffocation, wheezing symptoms have been reduced a lot. The cream also has a significant effect on the regulation of heart disease. According to the hospital cardiology chief physician Professor Xue Yitao said: “My an old patient 60 years old, suffering from angina pectoris, the body placed nine heart stents, a few years eating cream, angina pectoris does not attack, every year adhere to take.” The three types of people are the most suitable for tonic deficiency support cream, commonly known as “cream medicine”, belongs to the Chinese medicine pill, powder, paste, Dan, soup, wine, dew, ingot one of the eight types of dosage. The herbs are repeatedly decocted, the dregs are removed and the juice is concentrated by evaporation and mixed with sugar or honey and other excipients to make a thick, semi-liquid or jelly-like internal Chinese medicine preparation. Chinese medicine is concerned about the balance of yin and yang, that the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body is the state of disease, such as “yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency, blood deficiency”, in fact, many people’s physique is mixed with hot and cold, mixed with deficiency, and the role of the cream is to “correct the bias”, but not The role of the cream is to “correct”, but not “overkill”. The dozens of Chinese herbs in a prescription are regulated by each other, seemingly in a complicated way, but in fact in an orderly way, in order to regulate the body to the best state of balance between yin and yang. Therefore, the prescribing of a cream prescription is a test of a doctor’s level of drug compounding and precise grasp of the disease. According to Dr. Zhao Quanlin, chief physician of the Department of Internal Medicine of the provincial traditional Chinese medicine, the prescription reflects four main features, one of which is to tonic the deficiency and support the weakness, and the treatment is in the tonic and the treatment is in the tonic. The cream is often used in ginseng, American ginseng, powder, Cordyceps and other valuable tonic drugs, and the gum used to collect the cream, deer horn gum, turtle plate gum and other gum itself has the function of nourishing blood to stop bleeding, nourishing Yin and moistening the lungs, nourishing the vital energy, producing essence and replenishing the marrow and other tonic benefits. The second is to balance for use, before the disease first prevention. Some people say, winter cream is like a Chinese medicine “preventive injection”. Third, one person, one side, customized. The efficacy of a prescription prescribed by a doctor is better than that of a fixed prescription on the market, because the doctor will add or subtract according to the patient’s deficiency, not because of the deficiency. Fourthly, it is easy to take and has a pleasant taste. Most of the poultices are made by professionals, so it is not necessary for the patient to cook it every day, and it is easy to take one tablespoon each time. At the same time, the cream is supplemented with sugar modulation, softening the bitter taste of Chinese medicine, and can be taken for a long time. Tan Weiyong said that in Shanghai, a prescription can be taken for 2-3 months, which is mild, but the medicine is longer lasting. Three groups of people are most suitable for taking the cream: one is in a “sub-healthy state”, usually no chronic diseases, but easy to catch a cold, long-term fatigue or stress burden and cause physical fatigue, weakness, immune system decline; two is chronic disease patients, taking the cream long-term slow conditioning, these chronic diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, hypertension, hypertension, bronchitis and asthma. Bronchial asthma, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, chronic gastritis, chronic urinary tract infections, anemia, wind-like shutdown, lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, lupus erythematosus, osteoarthritis, nocturia, male sexual dysfunction, female menstrual disorders, infertility and other non-infectious chronic diseases; third, patients in recovery, such as after surgery, tumor radiotherapy, after bleeding, after serious illness, after childbirth People who are extremely weak. The short term effect is less than that of soup. The prescription of cream prescription is as little as 20 or 30 medicines, as much as 50 or 60 medicines, so how to use the medicine is a big question. Because of the recent emergence of cream prescriptions in our province, untrained Chinese medicine practitioners may not be able to prescribe cream prescriptions that truly meet the patient’s physique and disease evidence and follow the nature of the herbs. In Shandong Province Chinese Hospital, only trained doctors at the level of associate professor or above are qualified to prescribe poultices. A survey by an industry insider found that many doctors prescribe cream prescriptions are not qualified, some cream prescriptions are only a dozen Chinese herbal medicine prescriptions, some cream prescriptions see deficiency and brutal tonic, there are cream prescriptions to pursue all aspects of the effectiveness of drugs, resulting in the main attack is not obvious, losing the obvious effect. Tan Weiyong suggested that patients should choose regular medical institutions as far as possible and find doctors who have years of experience in prescribing prescriptions. There is a misconception about cream prescriptions that they are only used for nourishment. Zhang Wei believes that “paste” is one of the forms of traditional Chinese medicine, the role of the paste should be correctly viewed, not superstitious paste, at present, the provincial Chinese doctor prescribed the paste prescription, health care and treatment of diseases of the paste prescription each accounted for half, in fact, the paste can not only tonic deficiency, health care, but also to cure diseases. However, compared to tonics, cream prescriptions are slower and weaker in short-term treatment, and focus on long-term body conditioning, so they are suitable for use in the stable stage of disease. In addition, the cream can be tonic and can be drained, and in the philosophy of Chinese medicine, “draining” is also a way to regulate yin and yang. Generally speaking, the best time to take a cream prescription is about 50 days from the winter solstice, that is, from the “first nine” to the “sixth nine” after the winter solstice, or until the end of spring. Zhang Wei said, the cream prescription is suitable for all seasons, winter tonic is only one aspect of the use of cream, such as the spring natural Yang Qi rise, when taking cream can nourish, nourish Yin, moisten dry, can be combined with seasonal factors prescribed cream prescription. The cream is also divided into non-vegetarian and vegetarian creams, with vegetarian creams containing no gum and non-vegetarian creams adding gum such as gum, deer horn gum and turtle board gum. Tan Weiyong said that the gum itself has a tonic effect, gout, metabolic disorder syndrome and other patients are not suitable for taking meat paste, ethnic minority patients due to ethnic habits some are also not suitable for meat paste. In addition, winter tonic should also pay attention to the selection of relevant ingredients and accessories to be targeted. Shandong Province Qianfo Mountain Hospital, chief physician of Chinese medicine Song Lucheng said, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, etc. with black sesame; constipation is appropriate to use black sesame, honey; elderly kidney deficiency, waist and knee weakness with walnut meat; Qi deficiency and blood deficiency with cinnamon meat. Doctors need to pay attention to when prescribing cream prescriptions: the period of calm, not too much; through the combination of tonic, not just tonic not; moderate warm and cool, not just warm tonic; must take care of the stomach gas; pay attention to the bias of the drugs in the formula and their mutual complementary treatment. Who is not suitable to take the cream recipe Taking the cream recipe is not suitable for everyone. Dr. Song Lucheng, chief physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Shandong Qianfo Mountain Hospital, said that during the production of the cream, a large amount of sugar, honey and gums are added to the cream, so it is not suitable for people with poor gastrointestinal function, and blood tests have determined that people with high blood viscosity are not suitable for eating creams containing large amounts of gums. In addition, the nature of the cream recipe is more greasy, will help wet phlegm, therefore, phlegm and damp people should not eat, most of these people are fat, sometimes edema, loose or unpleasant stool, this kind of body people do not regulate the stomach and intestines to eat cream, the deposit of thick and greasy things will be more and more, so you can first take the open road formula, regulate the stomach and intestines. Paste prescriptions can also have side effects on children if they are not eaten properly. If a child eats hot herbs, such as red ginseng and antler, it may cause precocious puberty and bring problems to the child’s growth, and if the child eats too much, it may cause the stomach and intestines to be burdened and not absorb the necessary nutrients, which will affect the child’s growth and development. A material cream usually takes about 2 months, the price ranges from 1,500 yuan to 3,000 yuan, the cost is also relatively high. Therefore, Song Lucheng suggests that after the doctor prescribes the cream, before the official production of the cream, it is best to take the cream boiled soup 2 to 3 servings, such as no obvious side effects and then take as a cream. The “taboo” refers to the requirement for patients to avoid certain foods during the medication period to prevent certain foods from interacting with the medication and reducing its effectiveness or producing adverse reactions, according to the condition and treatment needs. The issue of “avoiding food” should be taken into account when taking a prescription. In general, the cream contains ginseng, prince’s ginseng, party ginseng, astragalus, he shouwu and other tonic medicine, so you should avoid eating radish, lycopodium. The traditional Chinese medical theory is that ginseng and astragalus nourish the vital energy, and he shouwu nourishes the blood, but turnips and lycopodium can break the blood. The mung bean has a cooling and detoxifying effect, which is generally unfavorable to warming drugs, but those who have a hot and dry body or have dry mouth and sores after taking drugs do not need to refrain from using them. It is also not advisable to drink tea, coffee, cola, etc. during the period of taking the cream. One is because some of the Chinese medicine in the cream formula has the effect of stimulating the cerebral cortex, then drink tea, coffee, cola and other drinks with refreshing effect, often make people too excited, affecting the brain rest, will produce dizziness and swelling, can not sleep side effects. Secondly, because tea is also easy to chemical reaction with Chinese medicine ingredients, affecting the effectiveness of the medicine. In addition to the above common “taboos”, because each person’s physique is different, the specific drug composition of each material cream recipe is different, so there are different requirements of “taboos”, such as the physique of the Yin deficiency dry heat, spicy and warm products; spleen deficiency in cold people should be cautious to use raw cold; Patients with hypertension should have a low-salt, low-fat diet, etc., which should be carried out according to medical advice. In addition, there are many nourishing and greasy drugs in the formula, so if you have a cold and fever, cough and phlegm, loss of appetite, acute abdominal pain, loose stools, diarrhea, etc., you should stop taking the formula temporarily and take it again after the symptoms have improved.
