Cartography Wu Sibei

As the saying goes: "Three months to make up for a winter, the next year without pain." For a long time, folk spread the habit of taking cream in winter, winter is a good time to supplement and collect nutritional essence, restore health, winter recuperation, make kidney essence abundant, the next year constitution can be enhanced. Many people take it in winter, they will feel refreshed, energetic, appetizing, sleep well, rarely catch cold infection in the second year, even if the cold is very light. However, traditional Chinese medicine experts remind, take cream side has a lot of attention, such as avoid irritant allergy food and tobacco and alcohol, not with coffee and other things with the service.

Ointment is "medicine" is not suitable for everyone

Although the cream has the effect of improving immunity, it is not suitable for everyone. In the folk, even in some clinicians, there are some biases in the rational use of ointment, which brings many health concerns to the people taking it. Ointment is suitable for people mainly including long-term sub-health, chronic disease relatively stable period, postpartum, serious disease in recovery period. Children in the growing period, unless the body has special signs of deficiency, otherwise it is not suitable to take cream, so as not to cause hormone imbalance, or even premature.

A global survey by the World Health Organization shows that only 5% of the people in the world are really healthy, about 20% suffer from diseases, and about 75% are in a sub-healthy state. Generally speaking, there are more people in sub-health around the age of 40. With the acceleration of the pace of modern society and the increase of work pressure, many young people aged 20 to 30 will more or less appear some sub-health phenomena such as neck and back soreness, waist and knee joint soreness, insomnia and amnesia, fatigue, dizziness, dry skin and so on due to overdraft of energy. When these symptoms appear, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mainly related to the weakness of the heart, spleen and kidney of the human body.

Recently, many people blindly seek tonic in winter, and even take "cream" as the fashion, and many people abuse ginseng, Fengdou, Cordyceps sinensis, only expensive, regardless of the individual's qi and blood balance, both waste medicinal materials, but also affect health. City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Ji Qing chief physician said,"cream" as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, first of all is "medicine", and then can be talked about as "supplement", absolutely not "food". Therefore, we should pay attention to the dialectical application of "supplement", because of the person and governance, to the overall balance, harmony is expensive. Ointment must be taken according to doctor's advice, do not blindly supplement, so as not to backfire, or aggravate the condition.

Do not drink with coffee, strong tea or milk

Before taking the cream, it is often said to take "open-circuit medicine", which is mainly for patients with obvious gastrointestinal diseases. When prescribing prescriptions, doctors must first observe the patient's thick and greasy tongue coating, pulse deficiency and excess, and judge whether it is suitable to take ointment or open prescription to adjust gastrointestinal function.

City hospital of traditional Chinese medicine respiratory department Shi Kehua chief physician reminds, During taking cream prescription, Generally should avoid eating raw cold, greasy, spicy, seafood and other difficult digestion, Irritant and allergic food, Avoid alcohol and tobacco, Do not take with coffee, cola, strong tea, milk, In order not to affect spleen and stomach digestion function, Hinder the absorption of ointment. Cream can not be taken with milk, milk is easy to chemically react with organic substances in nourishing traditional Chinese medicine, resulting in insoluble and stable compounds, resulting in the destruction of milk and effective ingredients of drugs, and even stimulation or allergic reactions. Drinking strong tea will also weaken the effect of tonic. There are also some creams that need to avoid certain foods, such as: eating creams containing ginseng, Astragalus membranaceus, etc., avoid eating raw radish, etc., because it will weaken the effect of tonic cream, so as not to break the qi elimination guide, affecting the efficacy.

In case of cold fever, cough, phlegm, abdominal pain and diarrhea, etc., the drug should be suspended immediately, otherwise it will make cold fever, acute diarrhea, acute abdomen and other diseases difficult to recover. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and decide whether to resume taking the drug after the symptoms are improved. Xu Ying, chief physician of internal medicine of the city hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, reminds that when digestive function is not good, abdominal distension, thick and greasy tongue coating, it is not suitable for tonic, otherwise appetite loss, and affect the absorption of ointment. The disease is in the active period and changes, it is not suitable to take tonic, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. Asthma attack period, phlegm, not tonic.

In addition, the ointment itself is a kind of fine water long-flow type of tonification method, although it contains many medicinal flavors, but the average daily dosage is small, and the ointment's efficacy is relatively slow, the conditioning time is relatively long, eating and stopping will reduce the curative effect, sometimes eating, sometimes not eating, it is even more unscientific.

The method of taking and storing the cream is very particular

The cream is generally taken a week before the winter solstice to the beginning of spring. When taking it, dissolve it with a small amount of boiled water and take it on an empty stomach in the morning. After a week, switch to twice a day, morning and evening, one hour before bedtime on an empty stomach. If you feel uncomfortable taking it on an empty stomach, you can take it for about an hour after meals. According to the needs of the disease, it can also be taken with warm yellow wine. Adults take one tablespoon at a time, about 30 grams; teenagers take half; children and infants take it carefully.

Paste should be stored in porcelain pot, can also be used enamel pot storage, not aluminum pot. Should be stored in a cool place or refrigerator, avoid close to the kitchen fire, to prevent mildew. When taking cream every day, don't change a spoon every time to dig, so as not to bring moisture into the pot, so that it moldy deterioration, should put a fixed spoon in the pot. After use, it is necessary to store the refrigerator in time. If mildew is found, it should not be taken again.
