Why do people always make tea with Chinese herbal medicine?
The development of medicine and the understanding of diseases in modern science keep pace with the times. As the saying goes, "three drugs are toxic." Is that really the case? So, let's talk about "three-point toxicity of medicine" from a scientific point of view, starting with Sanqi.

Yiwei Sanqi Chinese Medicine Daodao

The historical value of TCM is indelible.

Notoginseng, known as the "king of participation", was praised by Li Shizhen as "gold will not be exchanged", and some even called it "Nanshencao". There are more than 2,000 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, such as Panax notoginseng, which play their respective roles in different fields. They have contributed to the process of human life phenomena such as fertility, health, aging and diseases in history, and also played an important practical role in improving the quality of human life, prolonging human life, preventing and treating chronic diseases and senile diseases.

At present, various intractable diseases with unknown etiology and poor curative effect and diseases with high mortality, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, nephrotic syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diseases, have shown the unique curative effect and obvious advantages of traditional Chinese medicine. The curative effects of many Chinese herbal medicines have not only stood the test of long-term medical practice, but also been confirmed by modern scientific research institutes. It can be seen that the historical position and value of Chinese herbal medicines are indelible and negative.

The truth of "three-point poison is medicine"

What is this?

In Neijing, it is said that "drugs attack evil", and drugs have been defined. When a drug enters the body, it can dispel evil spirits, that is, it makes use of its so-called toxicity. The toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine, in a broad sense, refers to the function or bias of all traditional Chinese medicines; In a narrow sense, it refers to the damage of traditional Chinese medicine to the body, disturbing or destroying the normal physiological function of the body, making the body pathological and even life-threatening toxic and side effects.

Studies have shown that Panax notoginseng can improve liver microcirculation, protect blood-liver exchange function, reduce hepatocyte necrosis, promote hepatocyte repair, regeneration and anti-fibrosis.

"It's really a three-point poison."

Where does the poison come from?

The poison of traditional Chinese medicine mentioned here is not the poison of modern poison, but the bias of medicine. For example, rhubarb, coptis root, isatis root and other medicinal materials are cold, which can treat fever and internal heat, and have the effect of clearing away heat and purging fire, so they can be called cold, but if they are misused to treat cold diseases, they are even worse, and can be called cold poison. Ginseng, pilose antler, astragalus root, cordyceps sinensis and other medicinal materials are warm and strong, which can treat deficiency syndrome and cold syndrome, and have the effect of warming and dispelling cold, so they can be called heat tonic, but if they are misused to treat excess syndrome and fire syndrome, they can be called fire poison.

Therefore, in a broad sense, the so-called three-point toxicity of medicine in traditional Chinese medicine is not derogatory in nature, but refers to a drug prejudice, and health care products are no exception. On the other hand, if there is no prejudice (so-called non-toxic), it is not Chinese medicine. Therefore, the key to drug quality is correct application and consistency between drugs and symptoms.

Wrong dosage or method

Traditional Chinese medicine poisoning is mostly caused by the wrong dosage or method, such as arsenic, bile alum, nux vomica, aconite and other toxic drugs, which can lead to poisoning if the dosage is too large or the time is too long; However, if used properly, toxic drugs can also be used to treat diseases. For example, arsenic is highly toxic, but it is a good medicine for treating cold phlegm asthma, syphilis, hemorrhoids and tinea sores. The earliest monograph of materia medica in China, Shennong Materia Medica Classic, clearly stated: "Don't use those that are opposite to each other. If it is toxic, it can be used to kill each other if appropriate. " Traditional Chinese medicine is a mixture of various medicinal materials and decocted with water, which complement each other. So it is not "three-point poison".

Heavy metal pollution in soil

The quality of traditional Chinese medicine directly affects the safety and curative effect of patients, among which heavy metals are one of the important pollutants of traditional Chinese medicine, and the problem of excessive heavy metals has attracted more and more attention. When people drink or eat drugs contaminated by heavy metals, the content of heavy metals in their bodies is too high, which will lead to various diseases. Therefore, heavy metal pollution is strictly controlled at home and abroad to prevent the generation of "poison".

In the process of long-term exploration of rehabilitation methods for acute cerebral infarction, Panax notoginseng, a traditional Chinese medicine, has shown good curative effect, and the medical community has gradually used it to treat acute cerebral infarction. Panax Notoginseng saponins are effective active substances extracted from the roots of traditional Chinese medicine Panax Notoginseng. They mainly contain Panax Notoginseng saponins, flavonoids, protein and non-protein amino acids, polysaccharides and other components, and have the functions of controlling thrombosis, inhibiting platelet aggregation, increasing cerebral blood flow, improving microcirculation, reducing blood viscosity, dilating peripheral blood vessels and lowering blood pressure.

In a clinical experiment of treating acute cerebral infarction, the good curative effect of Panax notoginseng has also been confirmed. 68 patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into two groups, 34 cases in each group, and studied separately.

In principle, when acute cerebral infarction occurs, the blood flow in the ischemic central area tends to stagnate and adenosine triphosphate is consumed rapidly. The blood flow in ischemic penumbra decreases and the local tissue function is low, but it is still reversible. Therefore, rapidly increasing local blood flow and improving energy metabolism are helpful to promote functional recovery. Panax notoginseng saponins can protect myocardium, increase coronary blood flow and speed up blood flow, just to deal with the sudden symptoms of acute cerebral infarction. Therefore, clinical experiments and medical principles have confirmed the efficacy of Sanqi in treating acute cerebral infarction.

Correctly treat the toxicity of Chinese herbal medicine

The value of TCM is undeniable.

Wang Guoqiang once said in public that "TCM may be destroyed by TCM". The quality and sustainable resources of traditional Chinese medicine will have an impact on the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is natural and consists of animals, plants and minerals. It can cure diseases and kill people. However, nature does not mean non-toxic. As a special cash crop, Chinese herbal medicine has strict authenticity and selectivity to the ecological environment, and the environmental quality directly affects the quality of Chinese herbal medicine. Environmental deterioration, abnormal climate, air pollution, soil pollution and water pollution have caused problems such as excessive heavy metal content, pesticide residues and poor germplasm quality.

It is necessary to correctly understand Chinese herbal medicines, use them correctly, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. At the same time, there are also problems such as dosage, course of treatment and contraindications. Excessive, long course of treatment, violation of contraindications, will inevitably produce toxic side effects and adverse reactions, which is a medical common sense problem. Rational use of traditional Chinese medicine is safe, and the safety and effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine are beyond doubt. First of all, the application of traditional Chinese medicine should pay attention to dosage; Secondly, we should "stop the disease halfway"; Finally, it is necessary to achieve consistency between doctors and certificates.

As long as we correctly understand and treat the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine and use it rationally, this treasure of China will surely shine continuously in the world medical cause and make contributions to human health.
