Radish, also known as lycopodium, belongs to the cruciferous family. The seeds (lycopodium), fresh roots and leaves of radish have good medicinal value, with the efficacy of lowering gas, relieving food stagnation, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, mainly treating food stagnation and fullness, cough and phlegm, vomiting blood, epistaxis and other diseases. The saying “eat radish in winter and eat ginger in summer, no need for doctor’s prescription” indicates that radish is indeed a kind of food with good health care value for both medicine and food. In winter, radishes are popular when they are on the market, whether they are eaten raw or in stir-fry or soup. However, it should be noted that radish should not be consumed during the period of taking poultices for tonicity. This is because most of the prescriptions are for nourishing the body. These prescriptions are designed for the deficiency of the human body and most of them contain ginseng. Ginseng is a great tonic for the vital energy, while radish can break the gas, down the gas, the two have opposite effects, so if taken at the same time will weaken or offset the effectiveness of the ginseng tonic. In addition, the system of He Shou Wu has liver and kidney, benefit essence and blood, hair, tendons and bones of the role of the Shu Di Huang has the role of nourishing blood and nourishing Yin, are also commonly used in Chinese medicine tonic Chinese medicine, but ancient literature on the service of He Shou Wu, Di Huang to avoid radish, such as the Song Dynasty Kou Zong] in the “Materia Medica Derivative” records: “Lycopodium, serving Di Huang, He Shou Wu people eat it, then people mustache hair white. ” This may be because the radish is cold, eating more will lower the blood, thus weakening the He Shou Wu, Shu Di Huang nourishing the blood effect. Therefore, when taking the cream for tonic, try to avoid eating radish. However, if you take too much tonic medicine and experience side effects such as not thinking about eating, chest tightness, constipation, abdominal distension, etc., you can use radish or radish seeds to resolve them. Some poultices are thick and greasy because of more tonic medicines, especially some animal tonic medicines, which are not easily digested and absorbed by people with poor spleen and stomach functions, and can easily lead to abdominal distension and dullness, phlegm and dampness congestion. Radish can not only lower gas, but also eliminate food and phlegm, which is beneficial rather than harmful when both are used together. Therefore, the inability to eat radish while taking creams depends on the specific situation.
