Whether or not it is permissible to eat sweets in Chinese medicine cannot be generalized and needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis. If it is a traditional Chinese medicine that warms the middle and replenishes the deficiency, such as ginseng spleen tonic soup, eight treasures soup and other medicines, there are generally no contraindications, and you can generally eat sweets. However, if it is a heat-clearing and fire-dispersing traditional Chinese medicine, such as rhubarb and coptis, the bitter taste has the effect of draining heat, so if you eat sweets while drinking traditional Chinese medicine, it may lead to a reduction in the efficacy of the medicine, or even the opposite effect may occur. In addition, if the herbal medicine is for treating diabetes-related symptoms, you usually can’t eat sweets when drinking herbal medicine, and eating sweets may also lead to an increase in blood sugar. If the patient does not tolerate the flavor of the Chinese medicine, you can add or subtract drugs under the guidance of the physician for treatment, not blindly add sweets to drink. If you want to know whether you can eat sweets or not, you can consult your physician.
