Winter tonic, has become a traditional folk habit, every winter solstice, people have to buy a variety of tonic, tonic medicine, that winter is a good time to tonic. Winter as a good season for tonic is a certain reason. Winter is the season of nature everything collection, the human body is no exception. Due to the lower temperatures in winter, the human body in order to maintain a normal body temperature constant, you need to consume more energy in the body. Coupled with the increase in appetite in winter, the body’s digestion of nutrients, absorption is correspondingly increased, this time the tonic is easy to be absorbed by the body, storage. At the same time, Chinese medicine tonic is generally warmer, suitable for winter. In order to correctly carry out winter tonic, it is necessary to pay attention to the following aspects:? 1, to understand their own constitution Chinese medicine has been “virtual complement”, “solid diarrhea”, “cold hot” and “hot cold” and other principles of treatment of disease, these principles are not only applicable to the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, but also applies to winter tonic at the same time. When the tonic, according to the different physical conditions of the tonic object, respectively, using different methods of tonic. In addition, it is also necessary to distinguish between the target of the tonic is a deficiency of yin or yang. Yang weakness, should be sweet and warm and beneficial, so that the yang is strong; and for the yin and essence loss of people, it is necessary to use thick products to supplement the essence and blood, so that the yin and essence is sufficient. For those with yin deficiency and fire and those with yang deficiency, although both use tonic method, the former should use sweet and cool and clear tonic, such as honey, lily, duck eggs, buttermilk, duck, lotus seed, rock sugar and other foods; the latter should use pungent and sweet and warm tonic, such as cinnamon, lychee, beef, chicken, sea cucumber and other foods. In short, there should be a difference in the choice of tonic foods, not to be confused. For people who are suffering from acute or infectious diseases, it is necessary to identify the nature of the disease when taking tonic. If the disease is caused by heat, to give cool food tonic, such as watermelon, fresh lotus root, etc.; if the disease is caused by cold, with warm food tonic, such as ginger, mutton, brown sugar, etc.; if accompanied by epigastric distension, indigestion should be based on elimination of food, tonic hawthorn, radish and other foods. In short, tonic is not limited to eating supplements, all the benefits to the body, suitable for their own physical condition conditioning, are tonic.” Secret, pass stool is called tonic” means: constipation, pass stool is also a method of tonic. 2, tonic to pay attention to the function of the spleen and stomach tonic especially to pay attention to the function of the spleen and stomach. Chinese medicine believes that the body’s digestion and absorption of food depends on the normal function of the spleen and stomach, which absorbs the essence of the diet and transfers it throughout the body, and is the source of human nutrition. Therefore, the strength of the spleen and stomach function is very important for overcoming diseases and evils, coordinating the body’s yin and yang, strengthening the organism, and restoring the body functions, etc. In general, in most diseases, the spleen and stomach function is very important for overcoming diseases and evils. Generally speaking, in the course of most diseases, the weakening of intestinal function, most of the loss of appetite, which must be paid special attention to. Therefore, even with the disease evidence appropriate diet, should be appropriate control, do not want to tonic. A tonic will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, so that it can not be digested and aggravate the disease, or cause other diseases. Some weak patients, although the need for dietary supplements, but due to the low function of the spleen and stomach, appetite is not good, and therefore can not be nourishing and thick to nourish, but should be given to the light and easy to digest nourishing food, and gradually enhance the function of the spleen and stomach. 3, out of the misconceptions of tonic indiscriminate tonic is the biggest misconception of tonic, the general public always think that eating tonic no harm, in fact, it is not. Complementary special taboo “no deficiency indiscriminate supplementation” and “avoid false not subject to supplementation”. No false and abusive supplements. No false abuse of tonic, not only futile consumption of drugs, a waste of money, but also lead to yin and yang imbalance, the normal physiological function of the internal organs will be disturbed. Therefore, before the supplement, we must distinguish between the real and the imaginary, so as not to suffer from the calamity of no deficiency and abuse of tonic. The virtual not to be supplemented. Some weak patients, after taking supplements and tonic, the disease is not reduced, but aggravated or appeared dry mouth, dry tongue, insomnia, epigastric distension, belching and a series of adverse reactions. This situation, one reason is due to the patient’s spleen and stomach weakness, usually digestion, absorption function has been unsound, and many tonic, especially blood tonic, yin tonic products, such as Colla Corii Asini, turtles, turtles, etc., most of the nourishing and greasy, not easy to be absorbed, easy to stay in the stomach and intestines and produce indigestion and other symptoms. Another reason is due to the supplementation of the wrong symptoms. For example, patients with yin deficiency blindly use warm tonic medicines, which aggravates the original yin deficiency symptoms. In addition, after a person suffers from a disease, in order to restore health, it is not possible to rely on taking tonic and tonic medicine alone; to restore health, one should never rely on tonic and tonic medicine. Weakness of the body can be due to innate deficiencies and also due to the loss of nourishment in later life. Such as dietary disorders, emotional and emotional disorders, and excessive indoor labor. Therefore, in addition to supplementation, strengthen physical exercise, pay attention to dietary hygiene, maintain good health habits and mental state is very important, colorful social life is better than high-grade tonic, tonic medicine.
