Efficacy of Gastrodia elata and Taboos for Eating 3 Taboos for Gastrodia elata before eating.
Gastrodia elata is a commonly used and expensive Chinese medicine, which is often used in clinic for headache, dizziness, numbness of limbs, infantile convulsion, epilepsy, convulsion, tetanus and other diseases. Gastrodia elata is often taken as a "tonic" because of its remarkable effect on headache and dizziness caused by hyperactivity of liver yang.
At the sight of dizziness, regardless of physical deficiency, qi and blood rise and fall, gastrodia elata is used indiscriminately, and as a result, dizziness, nausea, chest tightness, skin papules with itching, etc. may occur, and some individuals may have facial or whole body edema and even hair loss. Not only will this kind of reaction occur when gastrodia elata is used alone, but some people will also have allergic symptoms to gastrodia elata after taking decoction containing gastrodia elata such as Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction, Chinese patent medicines such as Tianma Pills and Armillaria elata sugar-coated tablets.
How to eat gastrodia elata, keep in mind three taboos to avoid adverse reactions
1, the decoction time should be appropriate, and Gastrodia elata should not be decocted for a long time. The main component of gastrodia elata is gastrodin, which is extremely volatile when exposed to heat. Gastrodia elata and other drugs will lose the effective components of sedation and analgesia due to heat. Therefore, it is best to moisten gastrodia elata with a small amount of water first, cut it into thin slices after softening, dry it in the air or dry it and grind it into powder, and take it with the decoction, or grind it into pills and take it in powder.
2. Anyone who sees fluid deficiency, blood deficiency and yin deficiency should use it with caution.
3. Even for the evidence of hyperactivity of liver yang and phlegm blocking meridians, it is necessary to carefully examine the condition of Gastrodia elata and add and subtract with the symptoms in order to achieve good therapeutic effect.
4. Pay attention to compatibility application. "Materia Medica Yanyi" has a description that "Gastrodia elata must be assisted by other drugs, and then see its merits". Ancient and modern physicians seldom use gastrodia elata singly, but often use drugs according to different symptoms. Such as: Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction, Tianma Gouteng Drink, Tianma Pill, etc. Clinically, the effect of gastrodia elata alone is not good or the effect is uncertain.
5. When using single gastrodia elata or gastrodia elata preparation, if dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, rapid heartbeat and breathing, itchy skin, etc. occur, stop taking the medicine immediately, and those with severe symptoms should go to the hospital in time.
It is regarded as the top grade in herbal medicine of past dynasties. It has the effects of calming the liver, suppressing hyperactivity of yang, calming wind and relieving spasm, and can be used for treating dizziness and headache due to hyperactivity of liver yang, and also for treating convulsion due to hyperactivity of liver wind, mouth and eye deviation, etc.
What foods can't Gastrodia elata be eaten with?
Because the effective components of Gastrodia elata Blume, vanillin, are volatile oils, which are volatile at high temperature, it is generally impossible to decoct Gastrodia elata Blume with other drugs to avoid losing the effective components and affecting the curative effect.
Theoretically speaking, Gastrodia elata is sweet, warm and dry, and its functions are calming the liver, calming the wind and relieving spasm, and it is neither divergent nor nourishing. However, chicken is warm, and it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency and fire, but it is more prosperous when eaten. Eating chicken and gastrodia elata together will definitely reduce the efficacy of gastrodia elata. Furthermore, the effective components of Gastrodia elata are volatile when exposed to high temperature, so it is not appropriate to cook for a long time. If you stew with chicken for a long time, you will lose the effective components and fail to achieve the due effect of treating dizziness and headache.
In the process of taking gastrodia elata, many people take it with decoction, but as everyone knows, this will reduce the curative effect. Because gastrodia elata contains volatile oil, it is easy to volatilize after heating, so it is not suitable for decoction. Gastrodia elata can be ground and swallowed, or ground and swallowed in capsules, which will achieve better curative effect.
However, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Gastrodia elata is not a tonic, nor can it cure all headaches. It still needs to be taken according to syndrome differentiation and cannot be abused. Generally speaking, gastrodia elata is effective in combination with other drugs. Gastrodia elata alone has a good effect on patients with liver wind, which is manifested as headache, head swelling, dizziness, black eyes, facial hot flashes, headache related to emotions, etc. Stewing Gastrodia elata has a certain effect.
However, if you have headache, dizziness, general weakness, pale face, and a slight fatigue, your head hurts, or you have a headache with a heavy feeling in your head, bad eating, drowsiness and easy to sleep, or you have a headache that has not healed, and the pain is fixed, and the pain is like acupuncture, etc., it is by no means something that Gastrodia elata can solve, and you need to ask TCM syndrome differentiation to make it effective.
