Psoriasis is a difficult skin disease, and the “diet” of patients and whether or not to “avoid eating” during the disease has become an issue for discussion due to its long duration. There are many different medical opinions on this, and most patients do not know much about it. Some patients take strict taboos, not only ginger, onion, garlic, chili pepper, etc. simply do not touch; and chicken, duck, fish, meat all do not touch; worse, even eggs, tofu are rejected, long-term this will inevitably cause serious malnutrition, so that the immune function is reduced, but also accelerate the development of the disease, Sun Simiao “Thousand Golden Formula” food treatment, early to emphasize that “the doctor, when we must The first to understand the source of the disease, know the offense, to food system. In fact, not only food has a therapeutic effect, but also sunlight, exercise and clothing have a therapeutic effect on psoriasis, targeting the source of the disease. Patients should avoid cold in their daily life, eat reasonably, avoid eating cold, sunbathe more, exercise more, wear more clothes, keep “sweating all over the body”, when sweating disorders have improved, encourage patients to eat “hairy things”, use the bias of food to adjust the body, for healing After the improvement of sweating disorder, we encourage the patients to eat “hairy food”, so as to make use of the bias of food to adjust the body constitution and provide a strong guarantee for no recurrence after healing.
1.What is “hairy food”?
Generally, foods with pungent, sweet taste and warm nature are hairy items, such as white wine, ginger, green onion, coriander, chili, leek, pepper, pepper, pepper, cumin, fennel, cinnamon, mustard, mutton, dog meat and fried and fried things; sea fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, etc., which have the nature of rising yang and emitting and easily move wind and send off are hairy items. It is generally believed that the hair products related to psoriasis are mainly fish, shrimp, white wine, spicy, barbecue hot pot and mutton.
Generations of physicians also have different understanding of hair products: “Compendium of Materia Medica” contains: “mutton is very hot, fever and Tian Xing disease, malaria, after eating it will be fever to danger.” The Complete Book of the Heart of Medicine says: “Avoid seafood, chicken, shrimp and hairy things for poisonous diseases.” According to the “Food and Drink Book”, goose “causes wind and sores”; chicken “generates heat and wind”; and pepper “causes fire”. The key to the treatment of evidence・Dan Poison》says: “Some people should not eat chicken and swede fish moving wind and other things in their life, before eating then Dan with the hair.”
2, psoriasis patients can properly eat “hair”
The “Suwen” to the true to the great theory of cloud “its in the skin, sweat and hair”, the current use of hair dispersal medicine to treat psoriasis reports more and more, since the “hair” also has a pungent, sweet taste, warm nature, “hair Since “hair products” also have pungent and sweet taste and warm nature, “hair products” certainly also have the function of directly dispersing external evil or indirectly helping heat to reach the outside, therefore, patients should be encouraged to eat some “hair products” appropriately. However, some doctors still continue to regard “hairy items” as a dietary contraindication for psoriasis, which is contrary to the clinical treatment rules and the treatment method of dispelling evil in the vicinity of the situation. Even patients who are clinically cured will continue to produce evil qi in their bodies, and the usual “cold evil” needs to be dispersed by eating pungent and warm “hairy items”. If the clinical cure is achieved by avoiding “hairy food”, it cannot be regarded as a sign of successful treatment, because once the patient eats “hairy food”, skin lesions may appear. It can be said that the ability to eat “hair products” is a hurdle that must be passed for psoriasis treatment to reach ultimate success, and the treatment result of not being able to eat “hair products” is unreliable. The edible hair products are as follows.
(1) Ginger
Ginger is pungent and warm, it can release sweat and relieve symptoms, warm up and stop vomiting, it can help the power of medicine, more as an auxiliary product. For wind-cold, it can be decocted alone or with white onion, and used with Gui Zhi and Qiang Wu to enhance the power of sweating and relieving the symptoms. It can be used for cold in the spleen and stomach, cold pain in the stomach and epigastrium, and vomiting to dispel cold and relieve pain and vomiting.
Research has found that ginger contains volatile oil, ginger spicy, ginger extract, can excite the vasomotor center, and can promote blood circulation, ginger volatile oil can also accelerate blood circulation. People with cold body often eat ginger helps to improve the circulation and the whole body will feel warm. Ginger can promote the secretion of digestive juices and has anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger can not only help in the treatment of diseases, but also in the healing process, ginger can play a role in consolidating the effect of treatment, appropriate food ginger can also be longevity. In the Analects of Confucius, there is a record that “every food is not sprinkled with ginger”. The great literary scholar Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty has recorded: “In the past, I supervised the county of Qiantang, visited the Jingci Temple, there is a monk in the congregation, known as the King of Medicine, more than 80 years old, face like a walnut, eyes shining. …… said he had served ginger for 40 years, so he did not grow old” (Dongpo Health Care Collection). Song – Wang Anshi “word said” that “ginger can be strong against a hundred evil”. General autumn and winter can eat about 30 slices of ginger every day, ginger helps fire and hurt yin, such as no fire, no toothache, can also eat more than 50 slices, the daily dosage can be increased to more than 500 grams; the amount of spring and summer to daily sweat. In addition, ginger detoxification of fish and crab poison.
(2) raw onion
White onion is pungent and warm, not strong, sweating is not harsh, dispersing cold and pass the yang, weak medicinal power, “the use of medicine heart method” contains: “pass the yang qi, dispersing wind and evil.” Raw onion contains volatile oil, the main component of the oil is allicin and other components, patients can eat a few large onions every day appropriately. The oil can be heated and poured over finely shredded shallots, then eaten cold with other dishes, which is not only delicious, but also can prevent colds. It can also be used as a complementary medicine to ephedra, gui zhi and qiang wu to enhance the sweating and relieving of symptoms. In addition, white onion has the function of detoxifying and dispersing knots.
(3) Fish
Fish has low fat content and is a “storehouse” of protein, nucleic acid and many biological elements; its fish oil is rich in polyene fatty acids and can be used as an alternative therapy for psoriasis, so patients should eat some fish appropriately. Of course, if individual patients are allergic and allergic to certain seafood, which will aggravate the disease after consumption, such as turtle and crab, such patients should avoid eating them appropriately.
(4) Mutton soup
Long-term hot consumption of mutton soup can play a role in consolidating the therapeutic effect and preventing the recurrence of psoriasis. The lamb meat in mutton soup is a sentient product of blood and flesh, which can nourish the essence and blood; mutton soup can warm the spleen and stomach and promote sweating; the spices in the soup, such as ginger, coriander, scallion, pepper and other pungent products, can open the couples and disperse the cold evil in conjunction with the hot soup.
But it should be noted that the quality of mutton soup must be ensured; and it should be drunk while it is hot; more spicy condiments should be put in the soup as appropriate, in order to maintain “even sweating all over the body”. When the psoriasis muscle surface is heavily closed, drinking mutton soup will aggravate the skin lesions. If such a situation arises, it is necessary to open the coup first, which can be treated with gua sha (Fengchi and Fengfu) and then take mutton soup, which objectively plays the role of “opening the table first and then warming it up”. The ancient people called sheep a fire animal, Zhongjing pointed out that “those with persistent heat should not eat it”, if the throat, gum swelling and pain, etc., should pay attention to the temporary caution use of lamb soup.
(5) Warm white wine
Chinese medicine has said that wine is the “longest of all medicines”, and warm wine can help sweat and help the treatment of psoriasis. The “Thousand Gold Wing Formula” contains: “Wine …… is the main way to move the potential of medicine and kill a hundred evil spirits”.
The amount of wine should be drunk in moderation according to the specific circumstances of each person, generally 1 to 2 taels per day, the most drink to 5 taels. Drink a small amount of warm wine, keep the warmth through the dispersal, can let the body accumulate cold gas quickly out of the body.
Excessive drinking or cold liquor is not transported by the spleen and stomach, then it turns into water dampness, which not only has no therapeutic effect, but becomes a disease-causing evil, which can aggravate or relapse the symptoms of some patients; it makes patients’ appetite drop and diet decrease, resulting in a variety of nutrient deficiencies, and in serious cases, it can also cause alcoholic cirrhosis and alcoholism; it can also increase the risk of hypertension, stroke and other diseases. Therefore, psoriasis patients should drink alcohol in moderation, and those who do not usually drink alcohol, try not to drink again.
In addition, other spicy and irritating “hair” should be different from person to person. Spicy and irritating “hair” has side effects for some patients, especially in the progressive stage of the disease, and should be avoided for patients with aggravated skin lesions. Of course, in some areas accustomed to eating spicy food, avoiding the mouth will bring the patient’s diet unpleasant, but to the detriment of the disease, then we should avoid the heavy, discretionary treatment.
3, the use of “hair” points
“hair” both therapeutic effects, but also side effects, the use of “hair” dietary therapy, must pay attention to, with the time, with a degree, when the diet “hair” has problems, should not When there is a problem with the diet “hair”, should not be “hair” as a factor causing aggravation of the disease, should reflect on the use of methods, timing and scale. Specific points are as follows.
(1) The consumption of “hairy food” is a dietary therapy, which mainly plays a supplementary therapeutic role, so it should be consumed at the right time, but it must be “open”.
(2) eat “hair” to master the timing. In the coup open, sweat more evenly when the hair can be used in quantity, can play a role in accelerating the treatment. While in the muscle surface depression closed no sweat, “hair material” need to be strictly contraindicated; certain parts of the sweat, while other parts of the sweat rarely, “hair material” also need to pay attention to the appropriate amount of less use.
(3) “Hair” should be taken hot, hot to help disperse the heat. Liu Heshan has said, “If you serve it because of heat, the Xuanfu depression will be passed because of heat, and there is no reason for the Fries heat to be made again.”
In short, psoriasis patients should not blindly avoid eating “hairy food”, nor should they abuse “hairy food” at will. Generally speaking, patients with initial onset psoriasis, especially those who have not undergone treatment, do not need to avoid eating “hair products”. The simple principle is that if the skin lesions are obviously aggravated when eating “hair products”, then suspend and try again after a period of time, if not aggravated, then eat with caution. For patients with long-standing psoriasis, the ultimate goal of treatment is to restore the skin to its normal state, and “hair products” must be eaten.
4, winter to be careful eating hair products
The “Suwen” and the “Four Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun” cloud: “Spring and summer nourish Yang, autumn and winter nourish Yin”, which provides the general principle for the four seasons of health. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine clearly points out that the winter “yin” that “do not disturb the Yang …… must wait for daylight …… no drainage skin The “Winter” is a time of the year. The winter “nourishing Yin” is “nourishing Tibet”, the main winter Tibet is also the consensus of the Chinese medical profession. Specifically to winter health, for the cold climate, the Chinese winter like “warm tonic”, folk proverb “winter tonic, spring to fight tiger”, the northerners have “winter” eat mutton dumplings custom. Health is the highest requirement of human cultivation, but many diseases can not fully comply with nature. For example, winter health needs to be “hidden”, while the pathogenesis of psoriasis is that internal heat is not drained enough and needs to be opened and drained moderately.
In the cold winter, the organism will be in a sweat-free state with the muscle surface depressed and closed, which is the reason why most of the psoriasis will be aggravated in winter. In most cases, psoriasis patients who eat “hairy things” in winter will also “not be able to get hair”, and these patients should be careful to eat “hairy things” in winter. Whether psoriasis patients can eat “hair products” depends on the changes of skin lesions. If the skin lesions thicken and new skin lesions are added after eating hair products in winter, it means that the couples are not able to open and vent, so we should stop eating hair products temporarily; through moderate exercise, increasing warmth and other measures, the couples can open and vent moderately, and when the skin lesions are no longer aggravated but reduced after eating hair products in winter, then we can continue to eat When the skin lesion is no longer aggravated but reduced after eating hair products in winter, you can continue to eat hair products. If the psoriasis patient, after treatment, still does not relapse after eating “hair products” in winter, it shows the success of treatment; on the contrary, if the patient still dares not eat “hair products” at the end of treatment, or even dares not eat “hair products” in the hot summer, it should be said that the psoriasis patient has been treated successfully. hair”, it should be said that the treatment is not yet in place, from the final destination of treatment, there is still a long way to go.
In addition, the coup de grace is rarely a problem in the summer, which is precisely why many patients with common psoriasis can naturally reduce in the summer. After taking “hair products” in summer, it will be dominated by enhancing heat dissipation, and it is easy to “open the hair”, so there is no problem of avoiding eating “hair products” in summer for psoriasis patients aggravated in winter. This part of the patient in the summer to take “hair”, precisely can play the role of “winter disease summer treatment”. In short, the ultimate goal of treatment should not be to have a haircut as soon as you touch “hair products”, but to smoothly transition to health, which naturally includes winter tonic.
