The term “hairy food” is a folk term that belongs to the category of ancestral medicine health, food therapy and dietary taboos. “Hairy food”, that is, “hairy food”, is a concept in food therapy. The so-called hairy food, is particularly prone to induce certain diseases (especially old diseases) or aggravate the disease has been issued food. Hairy food taboos are important in both dietary health and dietary therapy. In general, hairy food is also food, moderate consumption of most people will not produce side effects or cause discomfort, but only for some special constitution and its related to the onset of certain diseases will be induced.
(1) Literally speaking, hair, including seizures, triggers, excitation, recurrence, but conceptually speaking there is a lack of systematic, complete and accurate theoretical interpretation. Generally known as hot and pungent things, seafood things, fishy hair things, etc. Its cause of disease with different characteristics of fever, sores, poison, fire, wind, dampness, phlegm, gas, cold and chronic disease.
(2) In a broad sense, as the late modern famous doctor Qin Bowei said: “all can cause dry mouth, red eyes, swollen gums, constipation of mustard, leek, mushrooms, goldenrod, etc., have the possibility of fever, commonly known as hairy things”. It is generally considered to be food that stimulates and aggravates trauma, swollen blisters and bumps or certain diseases, such as items such as mutton, sea cucumber, fish, etc.” . Hairy food can be understood as: in the normal intake of healthy people, sickness medicine and post-illness conditioning of the diet process, due to improper diet and can induce the production of a certain disease, stimulate new diseases or hinder treatment, aggravate the condition, affecting the body recovery of a class of food.
(3) In a narrower sense, food causes disease similar to some of the manifestations of food allergy in modern medicine. Therefore, the meaning of food can also be understood as: any normal consumption of a non-toxic food, but can induce some people to suddenly produce disease (such as allergic urticaria, eczema, purpura, gastroenteritis, shock, etc.) of food. In this sense, all human foods can become hair products, but also vary from person to person, and cannot have hair-causing effects on everyone, often determined by family genetics, individual differences (allergic status), and influenced by external factors such as seasonal climate, dietary mix, processing and production.
The reasons why food may become hairy and cause disease are generally the following.
1, improper diet: mostly by food selection against selection, collocation, cooking improper, or diet disorder, against the time, excessive, long lasting single intake. The lack of effective suppression and elimination of harmful substances in food, or poor digestion and absorption, food bias to frustrate the function of the internal organs, may become hair products and lead to disease. Such as goose eggs “more food injury stomach stagnation, chronic diseases”; sheep liver “long food liver damage eye”; chestnut “raw food difficult to transform, cooked food stagnation”. The food of lamb is not suitable for plum, chicken is not suitable for garlic, carp is not suitable for mustard, jujube is not suitable for green onion, loquat is not suitable for hot noodles, raw onion is not suitable for honey, etc.
2, food and drug adverse effects: food and drugs have different tastes and effects, sickness treatment, when the role of food and drug inconsistencies, it will weaken, offset the efficacy of drugs, or even toxic side effects, thus hindering the treatment of disease. The “Compendium of Materia Medica” avoid food: “Where taking medicine, do not eat fatty pork and dog meat, greasy soup will, fishy and stinky things. Where taking medicine, do not eat more raw garlic, caraway, raw onion, all fruits, all slippery things”, is not unreasonable. Clinical drugs such as licorice, Cang Er, Wu Ju Ju, Huang Lian, Mandarin, Wu Mei avoid pork, Hou Pu avoid fried beans, turtle shell avoid amaranth, Di Huang, Shou Wu avoid onion, garlic, radish, etc.. Chinese medicine avoidance focus on this.
3, the relationship between food and disease: the disease has a surface, hot and cold, deficiency, yin and Yang, food has a warm, cold, sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty taste of the difference and the characteristics of the elimination and supplementation, dispersal, slippery and astringent. The role of food and the nature of the disease, the trend from the help of evil and injury, add disease and disease. Clinical evidence such as damp heat avoid eating pork, caramel, pasta, dates; sores and other skin diseases avoid eating wine, garlic, pepper, ginger and fishy seafood; diarrhea avoid eating watermelon, all greasy, beans and fruit lubricating things; food accumulation avoid eating beans, noodles, fruits and other difficult to digest things; edema avoid salt, gravy, lotus rice and other stagnant things.
4, the impact of seasonal climate on the choice of food: different seasons, climate on the human body can produce a series of different effects, the selection of food if not in accordance with the time is easy to external incur internal injuries and visceral function. The Materia Medica: “winter month can not eat more onions.” Winter dry, on the fire to get warm, mistakenly eat fire to move hot things, so that people hurt Jin loss of yin dry fire; “the Golden Horoscope formula”: “spring does not eat liver”, spring for the liver gas win, the same gas, eating liver is easy to make people hyperactive liver gas; “the herb harmful”: “autumn does not eat ginger, people diarrhea gas “, depletion of fluid and injury to the spirit. Therefore, Chinese medicine regimen health focus on “but all the spring and autumn, so the disease starts when, cut the amount of its own nature will raise”, is a certain amount of truth.
The characteristics of hair products cause hair classification and varieties:
The characteristics of the disease caused by the hair material are different.

Although eggs are not hairy, but also should not eat more than 2 a day, especially hepatitis, allergies, high blood fat, high fever, kidney disease, diarrhea patients, more should not eat. The reason is that eggs contain a large number of proteins, but they are heterogeneous proteins, and a considerable number of people have a pathological reaction after eating heterogeneous proteins.

The actual fact is that you can’t have a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money.
In addition, there are also idiopathic foods such as vegetable oil, bad wine, wine, white wine, peas, yellow soybeans, tofu, tofu milk, pupae, roe deer, and onions, garlic, leeks, and so on. Sometimes, also will be meat and fishy and stinky and other food as a hair.

Hair can trigger or aggravate certain diseases, but the other easy side because of the hair has a catalytic or triggering effect, food therapy is also used to treat certain diseases, such as measles at the beginning of the rash, the rash is not smooth, the use of mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other hair, can play a role in helping its permeability, shorten the course of the disease. Another example is to eat more fishy hair to promote the cowpox, etc., are the use of hair has the role of hair penetration.
The type of disease is different, the need to avoid food is also different.
Itchy skin disease eat leeks less
The “hair-like hair products” refers to foods with hair growth, such as leeks, spring bamboo shoots, toon, shiitake mushrooms, cilantro, etc., which can easily induce itchy skin sores and rashes, so people with such diseases should eat less.

For example, the phlegm hair products, such as beef, mutton, with radish to facilitate dampness and phlegm, can not be the onset. Fire and blood hair products, such as dog meat, eel, if you can match with cold tofu, coronary, cabbage, can limit its heat, then people with heat illness can also eat.
Modern medicine does not say “hairy things”, but from the original meaning, in fact, “hairy things” is equivalent to what Western medicine calls triggering factors or the cause of certain diseases. The reason why “hair products” can lead to the recurrence or aggravation of old diseases, from the perspective of modern medicine, there are three possibilities:
One, is that these animal foods contain certain hormones, which can promote certain hyperfunction or metabolic disorders in the human body. For example, glucocorticosteroids can induce the spread of infection, ulcer bleeding, seizures, etc. when the physiological dose exceeds, causing the recurrence of old diseases.
Second, is that some foods contain allergic proteins become allergens, causing the recurrence of allergic diseases. Such as sea fish, shrimp and crab often cause skin allergies urticaria, eczema, neurodermatitis, impetigo, psoriasis and other intractable skin disease attacks.
Third, it is some of the more irritating foods, such as alcohol, onions and garlic and other spicy irritating foods to inflammatory infections lesions, very easy to cause the spread of inflammation, boils go yellow. This is the reason why Chinese medicine says that hot confirmed evidence should not eat spicy and irritating hair products.
