How to take Eugenol correctly?

  However, there is no authoritative conclusion on how to take Eugenol. Doctors often make mechanical adjustments based on hormone levels, i.e., reduce the dosage if the hormone level is higher than normal, keep the dosage within the normal range, and increase the dosage if it is lower than normal. Few doctors make adjustments based on the patient’s actual symptoms and physical condition.  In fact, the amount of thyroxine needed in each person’s body varies and is closely related to age, gender, weight, body mass, climate, exercise, diet and so on. Even for the same patient, the amount of thyroxine needed fluctuates at any time because his body condition is changing. Therefore, patients with hypothyroidism should not adjust their medication mechanically according to the blood test, but according to their different symptoms and signs. I will talk about the following: 1. Age Age is the primary consideration for how much thyroxine to give to a hypothyroid patient. Generally speaking, young people have a strong metabolism and need to supplement a larger amount, and young people have a strong heart and lung function, so they can increase the dose to the best dose at once; elderly people have a low metabolic function, so they should reduce the dose, and the heart and lung function of the elderly is weak, so they should choose a lower initial dose, and slowly increase the dose to a stable dose, in order to reduce the burden on the heart.  2. Gender The physiological functions of men and women are obviously different, and the qi and blood in men’s bodies run faster than in women’s. Therefore, under the same conditions, men should supplement slightly more than women. Women are more sensitive to hormone adjustment and are more suitable for gradual dosing.  Body weight is another factor closely related to the balanced dose. Generally speaking, the heavier the body weight, the higher the metabolic energy required by the body. Of course, this dose must also be analyzed together with age, so clinically, for patients treated with iodine 131, children are generally given 3~4ug/kg, adults are generally given 2.5~2.2ug/kg, and the elderly are generally given 1.4~1.2ug/kg, and then fine-tuned according to other conditions.  4.Physical factor The physical factor is the most individualized factor, which is not valued by many doctors but is closely related to the patient’s personal feeling. In general, people with Yin deficiency should reduce the amount of Eugenol, otherwise it will lead to deficiency fire and various heat symptoms; people with Qi deficiency can take a slightly larger amount, but they must take it in several doses to avoid spleen and stomach discomfort; people with Yang deficiency, Qi stagnation, blood stasis and phlegm dampness should increase the amount appropriately, so as to ensure the smooth operation of Qi and blood in the body.  5.Climate In short, with other factors unchanged, the amount should be increased appropriately in summer to cope with high consumption, and reduced appropriately in winter to smooth the flow of Qi and Blood.  6.Exercise amount The amount of exercise is directly related to energy metabolism. Before and after heavy exercise, it is recommended to increase the amount of Eugenol appropriately to adapt to the high consumption state of the body. Exercise should not be excessive, generally within 1 hour sweat is more appropriate, large sweat is harmful to the body.  7. Diet Thyroxine belongs to the fire of liver and heart. The yin and yang changes of diet also affect the changes of hormone levels in the body. If you eat too much yang food (such as vegetables, chicken, mutton, ginger, garlic, etc.), you can reduce the intake of Eugenol; if you eat too much yin-cold food (such as seafood, milk, eggs, beans, etc.), you should increase the intake of Eugenol for internal digestion.  In a word, the dosage of Eugenol should be adjusted on the basis of a balanced amount and fine-tuned according to the changes of the body’s internal environment, so as to achieve the balance of metabolism, qi and blood, and function.
