Another year winter is coming, the autumn and winter season collection is the main, in addition to the usual diet tonic, in winter to take a material cream medicine is a good choice. The concept of ointment ointment has a wide meaning: such as referring to things, to grease for ointment; such as referring to the form, to condense and not solid called ointment; such as referring to the taste, to sweet ginger slippery fat for ointment. Shanhaijing” Zeng Zhong said: “the words taste good are slippery for ointment”, as refers to the content, as the essence of things, as refers to the role, to nourish the ointment for long. There are two kinds of ointment: external and internal. External ointment is a common drug form in Chinese medicine, which is used in internal medicine and gynecology, in addition to skin, sores and other disorders. Internal ointment, later called poultice, because of its tonic effect, is also called tonic medicine, poultice medicine, widely used in internal, external, gynecological, pediatric, orthopedic, eye, ear, mouth, nose and other diseases, as well as for the physically weak after a major illness. In TCM theory, poultice is a kind of medicine with advanced nutritional tonic and therapeutic and preventive effects. It is a thick and semi-liquid or jelly dosage form made on the basis of large compound tonics, with different prescriptions according to different physical conditions and clinical manifestations of people, and mixed with certain excipients after thick decoction. In the prescription, as much as possible, authentic herbs are used, and the whole production process is strictly operated, so that only the finely processed poultices can eventually become top quality. The characteristics of the cream formula 1, the cream formula has two main characteristics of tonic deficiency and cure some spring and summer prone to disease, such as asthma, if the body can be well-trained in winter, it is less likely to attack, as the so-called “positive memory, the evil can not dry”. The folk in China have the habit of winter tonic, it is said that “three nine to make up a winter, the next year less sickness and pain”, “winter tonic, to spring tiger”. From the perspective of modern medicine, the winter temperature is low, heat dissipation, the gastrointestinal tract function is relatively stronger than other seasons, the physiological function of the exuberance is conducive to the absorption and utilization of nutrients, can be more converted into their own substances. The human body in winter metabolism slowed down, at this time appropriate nourishment, can mediate and improve the physiological function of the human body organs, enhance resistance, to achieve the role of disease prevention and treatment. 2, “Yin and Yang secret, to balance for tonic”, fully reflects the overall concept of traditional medicine Chinese medicine theory that human life activities based on Yin and Yang organs and blood, Yin and Yang organs and blood balance can be healthy, prolong life, so “Su Wen? The “Sheng Qi Tong Tian Lun” said: “Yin and Yang secret, the spirit is to cure.” There are yin and yang evils, and there are also yin and yang qi in the human body. The occurrence of disease is the result of the loss of relative balance between yin and yang and the appearance of yin and yang bias or yin and yang bias decay. Therefore, to correct the imbalance of yin and yang qi and blood in the human body by using the superiority of drugs, “the spirit is cured when yin and yang are secret” is the basic idea of Chinese medicine in health care and disease treatment, and also the main principle of formulating the cream. If this is neglected, and if we just throw in tonic to make up for its surplus and to make up for its reality, it will often be counterproductive. Therefore, the medicine used in the formula should not only consider “warming the qi for those who are deficient in form” and “supplementing the taste for those who are deficient in essence”, but also appropriately apply qi and blood-boosting products according to the patient’s symptoms and pathological products, such as blood stasis, so as to unblock the blood and make it reach its level, resulting in the balance of yin and yang and the smooth flow of qi and blood. It should be used to balance Yin and Yang and smooth the flow of Qi and Blood. Although the cream formula is good, but not all people are suitable, generally considered suitable for taking the following people: 1, chronic patients tonic: the original suffering from chronic diseases, the winter season, can be combined with its disease, while the administration of tonic, cure, so that the treatment and recovery of disease, the effect is greater. From the current clinical application of the cream, not only can patients of internal medicine take the cream, but also patients of gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, orthopedics and osteopathy, and patients with weakness of qi, blood, yin, yang and fluids can also take the cream to achieve the purpose of removing diseases and strengthening their bodies. 2, sub-healthy people’s tonic: modern society in young people’s work life pressure and labor intensity (mainly for mental tension, brain overdraft), at the same time, many social functions, excessive alcohol and tobacco addiction, long-term lack of sleep and rest, can cause the normal physiological functions of the human body substantial changes, the ability to resist disease, so that the body in a sub-healthy state, it is very necessary to timely comprehensive overall conditioning The best choice is to use the cream therapy. 3, the elderly tonic: the elderly, due to its physiological characteristics, the various functions of the human body, with the growth of age, and tend to decline, and winter tonic, can enhance physical fitness, delay aging. 4, women’s tonic: for women, the spleen and stomach is the main body vital energy, weak spleen and stomach, insufficient vital energy, it is easy to cause women’s aging; if the spleen and stomach can absorb the nutrients in the diet, fully nourish the whole body organs and skin couples, when the spleen and stomach normal operation, the whole body’s nutrition constantly replenished, the anti-aging ability of people, vitality is enhanced, the face will be rosy, the skin will be full of luster and elasticity. 5, children’s tonic: children according to the needs of growth can be appropriate tonic, especially children with recurrent whistling tract infections, long cough, anorexia, anemia and other physical deficiencies of the child is suitable for tonic. The season of taking cream 1, winter tonic cream, and some people used to call it the winter cream. As the name implies, it is taken in the winter season. Why do we need to take the formula in winter season? It starts from the fact that human life activities are closely related to the natural climate and environment. The movement and change of the natural climate environment affects the human body all the time. “Spring is born, summer grows, autumn harvest, winter storage, this is the great scripture of heaven and earth, Fushun is not for the outline.” According to the climate change of the four seasons of the year, i.e. spring temperature, summer heat, autumn cool, winter cold, it is very important to live and eat carefully, dress and walk. Autumn and winter are important harvest seasons, the human body will make corresponding adjustments to adapt to the cold climate outside, blood in the digestive tract for more, digestive glands, digestive enzymes secretion increased, digestive function enhanced, appetite, the body of high-calorie food demand increased, easy to absorb, and the nutrients hidden in the body, while metabolism is reduced, consumption reduced. In “Huangdi Nei Jing Su Wen? The four qi tune Shen Da Lun” pointed out: “in March, this is called closed, frozen ground chap, no disturbance to the Yang, sleep early and get up late, must wait for daylight, so that the will if the ambush if hidden, if there is a private intention, if they have got, to go to the cold on the temperature, no drainage of the skin, so that the gas is taken away, this winter gas should be, the way to nourish Tibet. Against it will hurt the kidneys, spring for the impotence and convulsions, less of those who live.” This is to adapt to the winter climate environment, is a way to nourish Tibet. If you violate this winter method of health, in the spring will occur impotence and syncope type of disease, so that people’s ability to adapt to the spring gas is weakened. This shows that winter is the best season to take tonic in all seasons of the year. For a long time, people have been talking about “winter tonic”, taking tonic creams in winter to strengthen the body, so that in the coming spring, the spirit is vigorous, walking and thinking is sharp, and in folklore there is also the saying “winter tonic, spring can beat the tiger”, which is very reasonable. It is very reasonable. 2, real-time tonic Some Chinese herbalists process poultices for patients throughout the year, does this mean that poultices can be taken all year round? In fact, the use of poultices for winter tonic is one of the aspects of its use. On the other hand, because poultices have the effect of both tonic and therapeutic prevention, they can also be used in winter, when the patient is very weak, such as in the process of chronic wasting diseases or after a major illness or surgery. According to the condition of weakness, Chinese medicine identification is carried out, and the tonic is used together with drugs to regulate qi, harmonize blood, regulate the middle, dissolve turbidity, pass through the internal organs, calm the mind, fix astringency, and pass through the ligaments. There are many aspects of TCM tonics to choose from, including medicinal wine, medicinal porridge, and medicinal food, etc. However, after applying Chinese medicine tonics for evidence-based treatment, following with poultices is another very important aspect. One is that it can continue to be combined with other therapeutic drugs, the second is that it is easy to take, and the third is that it is in line with the principle of slow recovery of a weak body, whose tonic is the king’s way to slowly wind down, and never use overbearing and brutal tonic, otherwise Meng Lang can not achieve its purpose. Therefore, according to the patient’s condition needs, and strictly master the use of the cream prescription, not in the winter season, the same can take the cream prescription. Why should I take “open road medicine” before taking the cream prescription? To get good results, it is crucial to be able to fully digest and absorb the cream. Some people have poor spleen and stomach functions, with a thick and greasy tongue, no appetite, and a feeling of stuffiness in the chest. Therefore, before these people take the cream formula, doctors usually prescribe some herbs that can transport the spleen and strengthen the stomach, regulate qi and resolve dampness, in order to improve their spleen and stomach functions and create favorable conditions for the digestion and absorption of the cream formula. These herbs are used to improve the function of the spleen and stomach and create favorable conditions for the digestion and absorption of the formula. The other function of “road-opening herbs” is to prepare the doctor to prescribe the right formula by observing the reaction after taking the herbs through tentative adjustment. For people with normal spleen and stomach function, it is not emphasized that they must take “open road medicine”, they can take the cream directly to make timely tonic. The “open road medicine” is usually the most targeted soup prescribed by the doctor according to the symptoms, usually taken 2~3 weeks in advance. In addition to the soup, you can also take some proprietary Chinese medicines under the guidance of your doctor, such as Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Tablets, Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan, Ginseng Bai Zhu Tablets, Jian Shen Wan, etc. as “open road medicine”. For the patient’s physique, when taking the cream, avoiding the mouth is more important. For example: (1) Yin deficiency is clinically seen in dizziness, dry mouth, dry throat, irritability, easily agitated, insomnia and palpitations, red tongue with little coating and fine pulse, while taking the cream for nourishing Yin, there are these points in the diet: (1) avoid eating hot and spicy foods, such as dog meat, beef, etc.; do not put or less ginger, garlic, onion and other condiments in the cooking ingredients; as for sweet foods such as chocolate and its products should be eaten sparingly, or even not. Even do not eat. Otherwise, the light will cause dry mouth and throat serious, dry stool, heavy bleeding symptoms are visible. (2) Avoid eating seafood, such as yellowtail, scallops, etc. Many patients with hyperthyroidism show symptoms of yin deficiency and fire, in the application of medicine to nourish yin and reduce fire, the consumption of seafood is like adding fuel to the fire. These patients are better off eating freshwater fish. (3) avoid eating indigestible medicine food. Because the patient’s digestive function is weak, it is not easy to absorb, and because of the Yin deficiency people often have dry stools, at this time, if you add laxatives in the digestive medicine food, can make the cream nourishing Yin medicine play a better role. 2, yang deficiency body in the clinical body can be seen in the whole body fear of cold, the face is overly white or light white, less gas, tired and weak, loose stool, urine clear long, light fat tongue, coating lubrication, pulse is slightly thin and late weak, for this kind of patients often tonic Yang, warm Yang, Yang and other medicine and food for tonic, should pay attention to the following diet taboo: (1) avoid the abuse of warm kidney Yang food. If you take deer whip, beef whip, mutton and other medicinal foods, you should pay attention to the pathological phenomenon of deficiency fire. Otherwise, it is easy to help fire and blood, resulting in change of symptoms. In addition, it should also be noted that many people with Yang deficiency physique, the spleen and stomach weakness, transportation and transformation disorders, so the diet should still avoid the use of sticky products. (2) Avoid using cold foods, such as persimmons, cucumbers, etc. Yang deficiency body is prone to internal cold, as seen in the epigastric cold pain, loose stools, limbs are not warm. If you use cold food, the cold image is even more, in the hot summer, especially should be careful of cold drink melon products, not to figure out the momentary pleasure, and Yang deficiency body said to see weakness, change of symptoms. (3) Yang deficiency body people qi and blood flow is not smooth, do not take or too much thick and greasy stagnant products, such as eating meat products, but also remove the fat part as far as possible. The reasonableness of taking medicine “one medicine, one nature, a hundred diseases, a hundred prescriptions. All kinds of creams, they have different functions, but no matter which creams, can only treat certain diseases, but can not cure all diseases. You can’t use the creams indiscriminately, and if you use them wrongly, it will be harmful. For some cases of deficiency of both yin and yang, deficiency of qi and blood, and several diseases together, treatment must be carefully observed and analyzed, carefully selected, and reasonably used to obtain good results, and never throw medicine in the wrong way.
