Traditional
Chinese medicine is a very important part of our motherland"s medicine.
Many people want to eat Chinese medicine for conditioning when they are
unwell. Because traditional Chinese medicines are generally made of plants, they do not cause any harm to the body. However,
there are some contraindications to eating Chinese medicine. Want to
know what are the contraindications for eating Chinese medicine? Please
see the following!
Avoid cold
Cold
foods are more damaging to our gastrointestinal tract. Although it is
very comfortable to eat cold food in the hot season, we must take care
when using traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise the efficacy will be
greatly reduced.
Avoid greasy
Greasy food should also be avoided during the Chinese medicine. Greasy foods are more harmful to digestion, and there are also drawbacks of long moisture.
If
you eat greasy food during the Chinese medicine, it will affect the
absorption of the drug by the gastrointestinal tract, thus losing
important medicinal value. Some people with bad spleen and stomach and indigestion should eat less greasy food.
Avoid strong tea
Do
not drink strong tea when taking traditional Chinese medicine, because
the tea contains tannic acid, and the strong tantric acid contains more
tannic acid. When it is taken with Chinese medicine, it will affect the
body"s absorption of the active ingredients in traditional Chinese
medicine and reduce the curative effect.
Especially
when taking "Ejiao" or "Tremella", avoid taking it with tea, and taking
it will cause precipitation of tannic acid and alkaloids in tea, which
will affect the body"s absorption. If you have a tea habit, you can drink less green tea, and drink it for 2 to 3 hours.
Avoid radish
Experts
remind that whether you eat Chinese medicine or Western medicine, you
should try to avoid eating radish during the medication. Otherwise, the
medicine will be greatly affected. Many people have taken a lot of drugs and their condition has not
improved. It has a lot to do with improper diet.
Especially
when eating Chinese medicine, you can"t eat radish. Of course, except
for some drugs that take gasification and phlegm. The
reason why you can"t eat radish during this period is because radish
has the effects of digestion and gas breakage, especially when taking
ginseng, astragalus and other nourishing Chinese medicines.
Studies
have confirmed that radish can weaken the beneficial effects of ginseng
and so on, and thus it is far less therapeutic and nourishing. Therefore, people who have the habit of eating traditional Chinese medicine should pay attention to it.
Avoid spicy
Spicy
foods include chili, garlic, curry, mustard, etc. It usually feels
refreshing to eat, but if you use a heat-clearing and detoxifying
Chinese medicine, eating these spicy foods will affect the efficacy.
It is recommended to keep a light diet during the period of eating Chinese medicine, including oil and salt. Seafood and fat, animal internal organs should be eaten as little as possible, with fruits and vegetables as the mainstay.
