Every summer, patients ask me the most questions: can't I drink mung bean soup during taking Chinese medicine? Mung bean soup is a good summer product, but it will offset the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. So is this statement correct? I have done experiments on myself. One summer, I vomited and diarrhea due to unclean diet. I prescribed myself a pair of pueraria, scutellaria and coptis root soup and cooked a bowl of mung bean soup. I finished the mung bean soup immediately after I drank the Chinese medicine soup. The effect was as good as I expected, and it was not bad because I drank the mung bean soup. An experiment was not very convincing. Later, I took Buzhong Yiqi Pill and Guipi Pill with mung bean soup one after another, but I didn't find that the curative effect of mung bean soup was discounted. Some people say that mung beans have the function of detoxification, so they will relieve the medicinal properties. This reason is absurd, because licorice also has the function of detoxification, but licorice is the most commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Mung bean not only won't relieve its medicinal properties, but also is a traditional Chinese medicine. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the drug king, described its indications: treating cold and heat, stopping diarrhea, relieving urination and fullness. Later, mung beans were included in pharmaceutical monographs such as Kaibao Materia Medica and Compendium of Materia Medica. Since mung bean is a traditional Chinese medicine, what effect does it have? Clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving summer heat and benefiting water. Heart and stomach meridian. Drinking mung bean soup in summer can not only relieve the heat, but also eliminate the irritability in the heart and alleviate the infection of the digestive system. It is a good product with the same origin of medicine and food. Mung beans have such benefits. When facing patients' consultation, should I answer that I can drink mung bean soup during taking Chinese medicine? No! Mung beans are cool, and patients with cold syndrome, such as stomach cold and palace cold, are not suitable for drinking mung bean soup. The cold nature of mung beans can restrict the effect of some hot drugs. For example, you can't drink mung bean soup while taking Jingui Shenqi Pill, Fuzi Lizhong Pill and Aifu Nuangong Pill. Therefore, I will have different answers to different patients. I am a little prince of Chinese medicine, a little Chinese medicine practitioner walking in the West Hospital.
