After winter, many people will have mouth ulcers, fire, stomach distension, constipation, sleep and other symptoms, it turns out that the tonic eat too much. Experts remind that people in the tonic, the most common mistakes are the following.
Tonic too early
Chinese medicine believes that the best time to take tonic is from the “winter solstice” to the end of the “three nine”, a total of 27 days. This is the time to make up for the next spring to prevent infectious diseases and improve physical fitness to lay the foundation. However, many people can’t wait to start taking supplements once they enter the winter, when the weather is still very dry, it is easy to destroy the balance of Qi and blood in the body.
Tonic too much
It is a common misconception that “people who should not make up for it should make up for it” in the winter season. For the young people who are in good health and can eat normally, it is not advocated to take tonic. Those who really need to supplement should be the old and frail, as well as the sub-healthy people.
Tonic is too expensive
Bird’s nest, ginseng, gum, cordyceps, these expensive tonic herbs, the role is increasingly deified. Shen Yanying said, in fact, there is no need to superstitiously believe in them, the silver fungus can replace bird’s nest, jujube can replace gum.
Tonic too messy
Many people do not know what kind of body they are before they take the tonic, so they eat it indiscriminately.
Only one kind of tonic
When it comes to tonic, it is mutton, dog meat, or only dates, walnuts, which can easily cause an imbalance of nutrients in the body. No one tonic contains all nutrients, so be sure to take more than one.
Experts suggest that if you are not feeling well and you can’t find out what’s wrong in the hospital, you should take a tonic and eat tonic food according to the symptoms. For example, if you have no energy, can not fight the spirit, the best to drink some chicken soup, pork ribs soup; dizziness, yellow face, menstrual flow, the best to drink some angelica ginger beef soup.
The cream is a long-lasting tonic that can be absorbed slowly in the gastrointestinal tract and is especially suitable for subhealthy people to take tonic in winter. Experts warn that instead of blindly believing in the thousands of poultices circulating online, you should go to a regular hospital and ask your doctor to help you distinguish your physique and then choose a suitable prescription.
