Blind supplementation in winter can cause health problems

　　As we all know, autumn and winter are the best times to take supplements. Moreover, there has always been a folk custom of "winter tonic" in our country.

　　What to eat in autumn and winter as a supplement? Of course, the first ones to bear the brunt are Chinese medicinal materials and nutritious foods. For example: ginseng, velvet antler, donkey hide gelatin, and Ganoderma lucidum are all supplementary choices for people.

　　Food supplements are better than medicines. This is the health rule that everyone has always followed. However, some people believe that traditional Chinese medicine has no side effects, and blindly cook and eat Chinese medicine such as Codonopsis pilosula, angelica root, astragalus, Panax notoginseng, deer antler and chickens, ducks, turtles and turtles.

　　There are also some elderly When you occasionally feel weak or palpitation, you always think it is caused by physical weakness. You can take more tonics such as ginseng, angelica root, astragalus, notoginseng, deer antler, white fungus, donkey hide gelatin, etc. The better. It's winter, and this "tonifying style" is becoming popular again. Don’t you know that blindly taking supplements will not only have little effect, but will also cause some adverse consequences?

　　according to clinical Observe that even when physically strong and without disease In this case, the abuse of traditional Chinese medicine supplements can also cause side effects such as dry mouth and nostril bleeding. For example, people who take deer antler all year round will experience excessive yang and weak yin. ； Taking ginseng for a long time will cause chest tightness, abdominal distension and indigestion. ； exist cold Taking nourishing Chinese medicine when you have a fever will make your condition worse, just like adding insult to injury.

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that deficiency syndrome is the weakness of human body's healthy energy. There are many reasons for weak righteousness, such as congenital deficiencies, poor development in childhood, overwork in middle age, and heavy bleeding caused by serious illness.

　　Deficiency syndrome is further divided into four categories: Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency. Among them, Qi deficiency and Yang deficiency belong to insufficient Yang Qi, and the clinical manifestations are mostly mental lethargy, poor appetite, fat and pale tongue, and weak pulse.； Blood deficiency and yin deficiency are caused by insufficient yin blood. Symptoms include dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness in limbs, and insomnia. Dream wait.

　　The principle of traditional Chinese medicine in treating deficiency syndromes is to “replenish what is deficient”, but corresponding tonics must be applied according to different types. For replenishing Qi, you can use Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, and Atractylodes macrocephala. ； Those who replenish blood can use angelica, white peony root, rehmannia root, and donkey-hide gelatin. ； Rehmannia glutinosa, Scrophulariaceae, turtle shell, and turtle shell can be used to replenish yin. ； Aconite, cinnamon, fairy spleen, etc. can be used to replenish yang.

　　Since there is a mutually reinforcing relationship between qi and blood in the human body, and yin and yang also maintain a state of interdependence, when nourishing or treating, it is advisable to take medication at the same time and increase or decrease according to the disease.

　　Many patients with deficiency syndrome will have a situation of "deficiency without supplementation". Patients who are physically weak and have poor digestive function should not take excessive supplements, especially greasy supplements such as rehmannia glutinosa and donkey-hide gelatin. Such drugs can easily cause "stomach obstruction and dampness relief", which will weaken the function of the spleen and stomach and make it more difficult to recover from physical weakness.

　　Also, if the body is weak and the body is infected and has fever symptoms, it is not easy to take supplements before the body heat subsides. Because tonics are administered when the disease is relatively strong, it will inevitably "help the evil and harm it" and lead to accidents.

　　“"Deficiency" is a symptom of insufficient righteousness in the body. When people take supplements in the cold winter, they can only receive better tonic effects after a doctor takes advantage of the situation and conducts a detailed analysis of the differences between yin, yang, qi and blood, and then selects drugs suitable for individual conditions.
