Zhang Weidong, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, said that candidates are under great pressure and prone to all kinds of physical discomfort. Usually, they can provide different medicated diets and supplements for different constitutions.

At this time, you can choose a medicated diet that supplements qi, such as ginseng chicken soup. The ingredients are 5 grams of Korean ginseng, 1 hen, sweet potato, ginger and so on.
For people with blood deficiency constitution, if symptoms such as sallow complexion, pale lips, numbness of hands or anemia often appear, you can choose blood-enriching medicated diet such as angelica mutton soup. The ingredients include mutton 300g, astragalus 20g, angelica 4g, peeled 1-2 red dates, ginger and salt.
As for candidates who are prone to dizziness, tinnitus, night sweats, insomnia, dry mouth, dry stool, irritability or inattention, the dietary supplement method is based on the principle of nourishing yin. You can cook longan tremella soup with 3 grams of longan, lotus seed tremella 10 grams and rock sugar 15 grams.
However, Dr. Zhang Weidong reminded that although Chinese medicine emphasizes "homology of medicine and food", before eating mild medicated diet or tea, you should still receive the diagnosis and guidance of professional Chinese medicine to avoid possible physical discomfort.
In addition, for patients with severe symptoms, Dr. Zhang Weidong also suggested that under the doctor's diagnosis, different drugs should be given according to different conditions. Generally speaking, Guipi decoction can nourish the heart and strengthen the spleen for candidates who have excessive spleen injury and brain fatigue. For tired and listless candidates, Buzhong Yiqi decoction is provided to enhance their vitality. If you study late for a long time, causing symptoms such as yin deficiency, internal heat and restlessness, you can use Tianwang Buxin Dan for conditioning.
As for the diarrhea that candidates often have because of nervousness, they can choose traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions such as Atractylodes macrocephala, white spoon, dried tangerine peel and Fangfeng to relieve it; If diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting and other gastrointestinal discomfort are caused by drinking cold drinks and blowing cold air, it is suggested to improve Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder.
