1. Before tonic, you must take "path-opening medicine"
Before tonic, you should see if your physical condition is suitable for tonic. For example, people with poor gastrointestinal function, thick and greasy tongue coating, indigestion and frequent abdominal distension will aggravate the above symptoms if these people take nourishing cream directly.
For these people, before tonic, they should be given "path-opening drugs", and they should be taken with tangerine peel, Pinellia ternata, Magnolia officinalis, Fructus Aurantii, Massa Medicata Fermentata, Crataegus pinnatifida, etc., in order to regulate qi and dampness and improve the function of spleen and stomach transport. Secondly, a friend who is sick should first completely cure the disease. If the patient has a cold, cough, expectoration, etc., the cold and cough should be cured before tonic can be taken. Otherwise, just like "staying behind closed doors", it will not only fail to achieve the tonic effect, but also make colds and coughs linger.
2, the dosage is related to personal physique
The correct way to take the cream is to store it in a closed porcelain jar, take a spoonful of boiled water every morning and take it on an empty stomach, and it is best to take a little hot porridge or hot rice immediately; You can also take it with yellow wine according to the needs of your illness. For example, if the prescription is rich in drugs such as ground yellow or the dosage of gum in the ingredients is large, the paste is very thick and difficult to wash away, so it can be taken after steaming in water.
experts remind that the dosage of ointment should be determined according to the condition or the patient's physical condition and the nature of the drug, which is closely related to the patient's digestive function. Generally speaking, the dosage of ointment should start from a small dose and gradually increase. For example, adults should take one tablespoon a day, about 1 ~ 15g. If the digestive function is normal, they should take it twice a day after one week, that is, once on an empty stomach after getting up in the morning and one hour before going to bed at night. When taking the cream, you need to cooperate with diet conditioning, and do a combination of work and rest and moderate exercise, so as to make the cream play its best role.
3. Pay attention to taboos during taking the cream
During taking the cream, if you eat the diet you are afraid of by mistake, the curative effect of the cream will be reduced or adverse reactions will be caused. If you take a cream containing ginseng, astragalus and other qi-invigorating ingredients, you should avoid eating raw radish, because radish is a product that breaks qi and eliminates food. It is generally not appropriate to use tea to drink when taking the cream, because tea can be antidotes and affect the curative effect.
if the patient is yang deficiency and cold, he should avoid eating cold food; If it is yin deficiency and fire flourishing, avoid spicy and irritating food; If you are an asthma patient, you should avoid the smell of shrimp and crab. In addition, if you have a cold, fever, diarrhea, etc., you should stop taking it temporarily. After the above acute diseases are cured, you should resume taking the ointment, so as not to "stay behind closed doors".
4. Adverse reactions can be dealt with in this way.
After taking the cream, in case of diet loss, abdominal distension, loose stools, thick and greasy tongue coating, Chinese patent medicines can choose Shenling Baizhu Powder, Xiangsha Yangwei Pill, Huoxiang Zhengqi Tablet, and Chinese medicines can choose Chenpi, Fructus Citri Sarcodactylis, Fructus Amomi and other teas to drink.
symptoms such as thirst, dry throat and dry nose appear after taking the ointment, because the glue used to make the tonic ointment should be melted with yellow wine, which is hot, warms the stomach, promotes blood circulation and promotes medicine, and its nature is dry and hot. Therefore, a few people with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity will have thirst and dry throat after taking it, so grapefruit, sugarcane, lemon and other fruits can be used to quench their thirst. You can also choose white fungus and Ophiopogon japonicus to moisten the lungs and produce fluid.
5, storage and take care of
cream medicine should be stored in a porcelain jar, can also be stored in an enamel pot, or can be packaged in plastic, but aluminum pot is not suitable as a container. It should be stored in a cool place, such as a refrigerator. When taking the ointment every day, don't change a spoon every time to take it out, so as not to bring water into the jar and promote mildew and deterioration. You should put a fixed spoon in the jar.
