I remember when I was a kid, there was a family recipe book, treating a disease, there can be dozens of ways, all are prescriptions, mung bean ah, carp ah and so on, all listed together, when nothing to see fresh, feel very strange. After becoming a doctor, many patients came to me with the prescriptions they saw in the “Health Hall” or copied from other books, and also asked me to evaluate whether these prescriptions were for his disease. I could only laugh and cry. A disease, for example, hypertension, in Chinese medicine, there are many types, and different types of drugs are used for different types. Most of the so-called prescriptions and tests are for one of these types, and may not be suitable for everyone. Some people say that eating celery often lowers blood pressure because it has the effect of calming the liver and clearing the liver, so the prescription with celery as the main ingredient is to treat hypertension of the liver fire type, some people say that taking wolfberry and black beans can also lower blood pressure, again because wolfberry and black beans are effective for hypertension of kidney yin deficiency, some people also say that taking salvia and hawthorn can lower blood pressure, this is because salvia and hawthorn This is because salvia and hawthorn are effective for hypertension with phlegm and stagnation, and so on. Therefore, we should not blindly follow the advice of our neighbors or good friends who say they have taken a method that works, and we should not believe in it or try it blindly.
