The "hair" referred to by the people mostly refers to scaleless fish and some foods with high egg quality and high nutrition such as shrimp, crab, sea cucumber, mutton, beef and Toona sinensis. Those who think these.
Nutritionists believe that these "hair products" can stimulate the body to produce a stimulating response, so that the body's immunity is awakened and the physiological function is restored and improved. For example, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus contains protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins, etc. It is a good product to protect the liver, and patients with acute and chronic hepatitis should eat more of it. Sea cucumber, seaweed, kelp, squid, etc. are not only common foods, but also commonly used drugs in anti-cancer treatment; Toona sinensis has the functions of astringing intestine, stopping bleeding, eliminating dampness and fixing semen, so it is suitable for diseases such as hematochezia, hemorrhoids, enteritis, dysentery, leukorrhagia and nocturnal emission. Therefore, taboos should be scientific and carried out according to different diseases. Do not blindly avoid taboos.
2. Chinese medicine dialectical feeding and taboo Chinese medicine dialectical feeding is also diet therapy. It is an integral part of TCM therapeutics. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that the treatment of diseases should be based on food rather than medicine, which shows that Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the treatment of diseases with food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that drugs have four flavors of cold, cool and warm, bitter and salty, and food is no exception. Food can not only maintain health, but also treat diseases. Many traditional Chinese medicines are foods in people's daily life, such as ginger, scallion, jujube, longan, yam, lily, adzuki bean and so on. We call those animal and plant medicines that are edible and can prevent and treat diseases "food Chinese medicine". Ancient doctors have used this convenient food Chinese medicine to treat diseases. For example, Tang and Meng E's Dietotherapy Materia Medica, Nantang Chen Shiliang's Edible Materia Medica and Ming Wang Ying's Food Materia Medica are all monographs in this field. The characteristic of TCM treatment is "syndrome differentiation and treatment", and TCM diet therapy is also based on TCM syndrome differentiation theory, emphasizing "syndrome differentiation and food application". Eating according to syndrome differentiation means deciding taboos according to the patient's condition and nature. The selection of patients' food should be based on the four flavors and meridian tropism of the food itself, combined with the disease situation, weather, climate, geographical environment and living habits. The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine is "those who are cold are hot and those who are hot are cold", and foods or taboos are selected according to the cold and heat properties of diseases. If the patient's syndrome is cold, generally avoid cold foods, such as duck, asparagus, lotus root, watermelon, pear, mung bean, etc. If the patient's symptoms are hot, it is necessary to avoid hot foods, such as mutton, dog meat, shrimp, eel, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, orange and litchi. Patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency who are prone to diarrhea should avoid eating cold, greasy and indigestible food; Patients with lung and stomach yin deficiency, dry mouth and red tongue should avoid spicy and fragrant food and so on. It is not taboo as people think, that is, anyone suffering from acute or chronic diseases must avoid eating all "hair".
3. Taboo after taking medicine, that is, eating certain foods after taking medicine will enhance the medicinal properties of some drugs or reduce the efficacy of some drugs. For example, the patient is taking traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating spleen and stomach, warming middle warmer and benefiting qi, but it is not appropriate to eat food such as sexual cold and slippery intestines, so the effect of invigorating spleen and warming middle warmer, benefiting qi and benefiting stomach cannot be achieved. Fish and crabs should be avoided after taking traditional Chinese medicine decoction containing Schizonepeta; Avoid peaches, plums and garlic when taking the decoction with Atractylodes macrocephala. Take the decoction with Smilax glabra and avoid honey; Take ginseng to avoid Rachel and so on.
Taboos in traditional Chinese medicine based on syndrome differentiation are completely different from people's taboo on all hair. Some skin diseases, such as urticaria, neurodermatitis, pruritus, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, allergic dermatitis, rosacea, etc., are closely related to certain foods. During the onset of the disease or for a period of time after the disease is cured, we should restrict or fast fish, shrimp, crabs and other fishy "hair products", as well as poultry food and irritating foods such as onions, garlic and peppers. Some skin diseases, such as scabies, tinea corporis, vitiligo, etc., need not be taboo because they have nothing to do with diet.
Most skin diseases have rashes. Rash is "hair", and some foods are "hair"-containing foreign protein. When this special protein is absorbed by human body, it will cause allergic reaction and damage the skin. Therefore, people suffering from skin diseases should abstain from stimulating food during taking medicine or for a long time after treatment. Otherwise, even if the skin disease is in a stable period, it will recur.
However, some patients are allergic to only one or two kinds of food, so don't go too far in the range of taboo foods. Patients can record the type and time of food they eat and the time when symptoms occur. If the disease occurs12 ~ 24 hours after eating, it is allergic food. In this way, taboos are targeted and the scope of taboos is narrowed. In daily life, it is common for some people to avoid all so-called "hair products" no matter what kind of skin diseases they suffer from or what foods they are allergic to. As a result, malnutrition has affected health. Even patients with skin diseases do not always avoid taboo foods. Generally, after skin diseases have stabilized for a period of time, they can try to eat allergic foods, starting from a small amount, and gradually increasing the amount and frequency if there is no special reaction. After repeated desensitization, some people can no longer have allergic reactions to foods that were originally allergic.
Hair: It may lead to relapse or aggravate the disease.
Hair can lead to the recurrence of old diseases or aggravate the disease. To sum up, there are three possibilities: First, these animal foods contain some hormones, which will promote some hyperfunctions or metabolic disorders in the human body. For example, when glucocorticoids exceed the physiological dose, it can induce infection spread, ulcer bleeding, seizures, etc., and cause recurrence of old diseases. Second, foreign proteins contained in some foods become allergens, causing the recurrence of allergic diseases. For example, sea fish, shrimps and crabs often cause intractable skin diseases such as urticaria, eczema, neurodermatitis, impetigo and psoriasis in people with skin allergies. Bean curd sometimes causes asthma to recur. Third, some foods with strong irritation, such as alcohol, onion and garlic, can easily cause inflammation to spread and furuncle to yellow.
First, the meaning and concept of hair
Literally speaking, hair, including attack, induction, excitation, recurrence [[meaning. Although foods such as fawu are described vividly, vividly and concretely in ancient medical books, there is still a lack of systematic, complete and accurate theoretical explanation in concept. Generally known as pungent and hot substances, seafood, fishy hair and so on, their pathogenic factors have different characteristics, such as fever, sores, poisoning, hot work, wind-moving, dampness-promoting, phlegm-producing, qi-moving, cold accumulation and chronic diseases. For example, "Encyclopedia of Medical Telepathy Room": "Seafood, chicken and shrimp are forbidden for toxic diseases" [2]; Compendium of Materia Medica: "Mutton is hot, febrile and sick, and after malaria, it will be dangerous to eat it" [3]; "Living with Interest Diet Spectrum" [4]: "Goose, wind-induced sores"; chicken "eat more to generate heat and wind-induced sores"; Pork "eat more to help damp heat"; Yangmei "eats more blood"; Mustard is "angry"; Pepper is "hot"; Black soybean is "stagnant"; Buckwheat suffers from chronic diseases. Through the analysis of hair types and diseases described in ancient Chinese medicine books, hair contains broad and narrow aspects.
In a broad sense, as the late modern famous doctor Qin Bowei said: "All mustard greens, leeks, mushrooms, cauliflower, etc., which can cause dry mouth, red eyes, swollen gums and constipation, have the possibility of fever, commonly known as hair" [5]; The Chinese-Japanese Dictionary (Japanese) explains that "generally speaking, it is food that stimulates or aggravates trauma, swelling or a certain disease, such as mutton, sea cucumber, fish and food" [6]. Hair can be understood as: a kind of food that can induce a certain disease, stimulate a new disease or hinder treatment, aggravate the condition and affect the recovery of the body due to improper diet during normal intake, taking medicine for illness and conditioning after illness of healthy people.
In a narrow sense, hair diseases are similar to some manifestations of eating food allergy in allergic diseases referred to in modern medicine. In this regard, ancient medical books have long been recorded, such as "the key to syndrome differentiation and treatment, erysipelas": "Some people can't eat chicken and money all their lives, and only when they eat it can they get rid of erysipelas" [7]. Therefore, the meaning of hair can be understood as: any food that can induce some people to suddenly produce diseases (such as allergic urticaria, eczema, purpura, gastroenteritis, shock, etc.) because of normal consumption of some non-toxic food. In this sense, human food is likely to become hair, and it varies from person to person, and it is impossible to cause hair damage to anyone. It is often determined by family heredity and individual differences (allergic constitution), and is influenced by external factors such as seasonal climate, dietary collocation and processing [8].
Second, a preliminary study on the pathogenic principle of hair
According to the nature, efficacy and action characteristics of different foods, combined with the physical condition of human body, the interaction between food and drugs, the nature and development trend of diseases, etc. [9], the reasons why food may become hair products and cause diseases are roughly as follows.
1, improper diet: food selection is often opposed to selection, collocation, improper cooking, or improper diet, untimely, excessive, long-term continuous single intake. So that the harmful substances in food are not effectively suppressed or eliminated, or the digestion and absorption are poor, and the food slants the function of viscera, which may become hair and lead to diseases. "Jing Yue Quan Shu": "People who are occasionally ill are more suspicious of eating than eating. If they eat food on a certain day, or eat some meat or noodles, they will get sick on the same day" [10], including eating spoiled food by mistake, eating some food for a long time, unreasonable dietary collocation (food phase), improper cooking and so on. For example, goose eggs "eat too much and hurt the stomach, causing dysentery"; Sheep liver "long-term eating hurts the liver and damages the eyes"; Chestnut "is difficult to be eaten raw, and the cooked food is stagnant" [1 1]. And the traditional understanding that eating mutton should avoid plums, chicken should avoid garlic, crucian carp should avoid mustard, jujube should avoid onions, loquat should avoid hot noodles, and raw onions should avoid honey.
2. Adverse effects of food and medicine: Food and medicine have different tastes and effects. When taking medicine for treatment of diseases, when the effects of food and medicine are inconsistent, it will weaken and offset the curative effect of drugs, or even produce toxic side effects, thus hindering the treatment of diseases. "Compendium of Materia Medica" does not eat when taking medicine: "Anyone who takes medicine should not eat fat pig and dog meat, greasy soup, and smelly things. It is not unreasonable to eat more raw garlic, coriander, raw onion, fruits and slippery things when taking medicine "[12]. Clinical drugs such as licorice, Xanthium sibiricum, Evodia rutaecarpa, Coptidis Rhizoma, Platycodon grandiflorum, ebony avoid pork, Magnolia officinalis avoid fried beans, Carapax Trionycis avoid amaranth, Rehmannia glutinosa, Polygonum Multiflori avoid onion, garlic, radish and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine taboos focus on this.
3. The relationship between food and diseases: diseases can be divided into exterior and interior, cold and heat, deficiency and excess, yin and yang, and food has the characteristics of being warm, cold, sour, bitter, sweet and salty, and being tonic, dispersing and astringent. The role of food is consistent with the nature and trend of the disease, which will help evil and harm the right, and add disease and benefit the disease. "Wang's Medical Storage" "All diseases that are not cured suddenly add internal and external miscellaneous syndromes, or relapse of old diseases are caused by poor conditioning" [2], which includes food-induced factors. Clinically, such as damp-heat syndrome, pork, caramel, pasta and jujube should not be eaten; Avoid alcohol, garlic, pepper, ginger and fishy seafood for skin diseases such as sores and ulcers; Avoid eating watermelon, greasy food, and bean fruit lubrication; Foods that are difficult to digest, such as beans, noodles, melons and fruits, should be avoided. Edema should avoid salt, Euryale ferox, lotus seeds and other stagnant substances.
4. Influence of season and climate on food selection: Different seasons and climate can have a series of different effects on human body. If food selection is not appropriate, it is easy to attract external sadness and visceral function. Materia Medica: "Don't eat more onions in winter" [13]. When it is dry in winter, you can warm yourself by fire, and eat things that help fire and move heat by mistake, which makes people hurt body fluid and yin and dry fire; "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber": "You don't eat the liver in spring" [14]. In spring, the liver-qi prevails, and the same gas seeks, while eating the liver makes the liver-qi easy to flourish; Materia Medica is harmful to benefit: "Not eating ginger in autumn makes people diarrhea" [13], which wastes liquid and hurts the mind; "Life Extension Record": "All kinds of creatures, or the moon season should be taboo, or contrary to the five internal organs" [17], illustrate this principle. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chinese medicine to pay attention to "when the disease starts in the spring and autumn, it is necessary to measure its self-support" [17].
5. The influence of food on post-illness conditioning: the disease is cured at the beginning, the remaining evils are not clear, and the healthy qi is not recovered. Improper diet can cause "resurgence" or other diseases. "No food" says: "If there is any new disease, there will be no more ..." [16]; Sun Zhenren said, "When you are sick, you should not eat raw fish, and you will get dysentery" [16]. Because of a certain disease, the body is in a special susceptible state of deficiency and invincible evil, and improper avoidance of food can lead to old diseases. For example, "Materia Medica is harmful to the benefit": "Sheep liver, those who have sores and chronic diseases, should be avoided as soon as they are eaten" [18].
