In recent years, the trend of winter Chinese medicine tonic is prevalent, and many hospitals and pharmacies, large and small, are selling ginseng, astragalus, deer antler, aconite, wolfberry and other herbs, or their pills, pills, creams, pills; coupled with the misleading propaganda of some media, various tonic medicines are springing up to thousands of households. Doctors of Chinese medicine and even some old patients always link together deficiency, tonic, health care and tonic; physicians are happy to use tonic and patients welcome tonic. In fact, it is not, and it is extremely wrong to equate tonic with health care. The human body is an extremely sophisticated biological system designed to maintain its normal physiological functions, but we must not abuse tonic drugs or rely on them for health care. We must be cautious and pay great attention to the toxic side effects, adverse reactions and inappropriateness of herbal medicines for different body types and populations. “Tonic is to help its deficiency”. Tonic medicine is a treatment to remedy the deficiency of yin, yang, qi and blood in human body or to remedy the deficiency of a certain internal organ, i.e. there is no deficiency without tonic. However, people’s age, fat and thin, physical strength, mental state, culture and occupation, life and leisure, personality hobbies, regional environment, as well as different seasons, different periods, their functional state are different, the use of drugs to maintain health naturally can not be uniform, 10,000 people a drug. Just look at the day drinking ginseng, wolfberry tea, night swallowing six flavors of Dihuangwan, etc., years and years of continuous people abound. When the supplement or not must be in the experienced Chinese medicine experts under the clinical guidance of evidence-based treatment, in order to achieve the prevention and treatment of disease, health care purposes. Second, the ancient and modern medical doctors have warned that “deficiency is tonic, real is diarrhea”, when the tonic is tonic, by no means opposed to tonic, but can not be superstitious in tonic, tonic improper, but increased harm; who do not know that Chinese medicine and “deficiency is not tonic”, ” Six internal organs to pass for tonic” and so on. For the tonic, ancient and modern Chinese medicine famous scholars have some cautions, such as Mo Mishi “researching the JingYin? With medicine on two”: “where the drug can drive the evil, all can hurt; can supplement the deficiency, all can stay evil, in this know no drug is not biased carry on. Why must peng ginseng and astragalus and hate nitrate and yellow”. The foolish son of medical supplementation can not mud: “The world says that supplementation is good, do not know that the supplementation is not appropriate is difficult. The human body is originally a small world, the sun and the moon for the gods of the river, the chest and diaphragm like smooth, the stomach and intestines like to regulate, the day eat three rice, like ginseng and astragalus a big bag. Look at today’s dull gentry, always list eight treasures to be high. These are good at tonic benefits, like a mantis holding the top of the tree”. Zheng Qin’an, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said well: “When the disease is served, the eucalyptus, rhubarb, arsenic is the most precious; disease is not served, ginseng, astragalus, antler, wolfberry are arsenic”. Wang Kentang’s cloud is even more creepy: “In recent times, those who use ginseng often have the harm of killing people”. The national famous Chinese medicine scientist, 100 years old famous doctor Gan Zu Wang old professor is also opposed to the indiscriminate application of tonic medicine, has written a special tonic medicine song: “eat chew, dress less, sleep to be, smoke, alcohol, thank robbery, heart F anxious, run away, jump, are tonic medicine. And so on, in the hope of waking up the men and women who are obsessed with taking tonic medicine, do not be misled by the disadvantages of taking tonic. Third, health care when all the methods of health care, especially need to emphasize that the basic principles of Chinese medicine health care doctrine is to follow the nature, the form and spirit of both nourishment, protect the essence of the kidney and nourish the spleen and stomach; that is, appropriate cold and temperature, smooth mood, careful living, diet and diligent exercise. The specific methods include moving the form, quieting the spirit, fixing the essence, regulating the qi, food and bait. People are born from gas, gas by the gods, nourish the whole spirit, can get the true way”. Therefore, we should take care of our body and mind from many aspects, to get rid of diseases and prolong our life; that is, to enjoy our life with good health and the best quality of life. Many long-lived people live in deep forests and wilderness villages, and he or she is a simple meal, working hard for a lifetime and living a long life, who has the conditions to take tonic; and many emperors and kings of the mountains, sea food, rich food and wanton tonic, debauchery body and mind and short life. Be careful! Caution. Therefore, we believe that medicine is better than food, food is better than God’s tonic, and God’s tonic is better than exercise; the combination of food, God’s tonic and exercise is the root of health care and body strengthening.
