Since ancient times, “deficiency is tonic” is one of the basic rules of Chinese medicine, but some people will have dry mouth and tongue sores if they eat some jujube, and poor appetite, chest tightness, abdominal fullness, and even nosebleeds if they eat ginseng, astragalus, and mushroom products. As a result, they judge themselves as “deficient in tonic”. To explore the connotation of “deficiency without tonic”, there are actually several factors: 1, not the right evidence: each kind of tonic is only suitable for a certain physique and corresponding disease. If you do not distinguish between qi, blood, yin and yang, or the deficiencies of the five organs, you will be indiscriminately tonic, and you will have uncomfortable symptoms. This is one of the reasons for the so-called “deficiency without tonic”. 2.Deficiency is mixed with reality, and only tonic is not clear. In some patients, deficiency is accompanied by reality (for example, phlegm, blood stasis, food accumulation, external sensation), so if we don’t clear the evil and reality at the same time, and just tonic deficiency, it will lead to many kinds of discomfort. 3, the spleen and stomach deficiency: the spleen and stomach weakness or loss of health, the intake of deficiency drugs easily cause congestion, but also the emergence of new symptoms of spleen and stomach discomfort. To sum up, for the above-mentioned people who are so-called “deficient in tonic”, it is not that they cannot take creams, but they must be taken by experienced TCM experts with proper tonic methods. On the one hand, it is advisable to make up flat, clear and slow tonic, not to make up suddenly or indiscriminately, and to add the products that help transport in the tonic medicine, so as to avoid the disadvantage of nourishing and dulling the stomach. On the other hand, before taking the cream formula, it is advisable to take a period of time (usually 1 to 4 weeks) of “open road formula” “open road medicine” to improve the function of the spleen and stomach with drugs to strengthen the spleen, regulate qi and transform dampness; or first test the tonic, observe its reaction after taking the medicine, and then proceed to The formula can be used to improve the function of the spleen and stomach by using drugs that strengthen the spleen, regulate qi and resolve dampness; or to make a trial tonic and observe the response after taking the medicine before making a cream tonic.
