Whether you can eat radish after drinking traditional Chinese medicine should be analyzed in detail. For tonic Chinese medicine, such as drugs or decoction containing ginseng, codonopsis pilosula and Pseudostellaria heterophylla, you can't eat radish, because radish has the function of lowering qi, which will counteract the tonic effect of ginseng and reduce the drug effect. However, for some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions that have the function of promoting digestion and guiding stagnation, and treat abdominal fullness and constipation caused by gastrointestinal stagnation, you can eat some radishes appropriately, which has the functions of enhancing digestion and resolving stagnation, and regulating qi.

Because radish has the function of lowering qi and eliminating stagnation, it is best not to eat white radish often for people with weak spleen and stomach, because too much qi will lead to gas consumption, which will make the weak spleen and stomach unable to improve and even aggravate the weak situation. Do not eat with Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus. Many people think that radish has the function of antidote, so don't eat radish when taking Chinese medicine. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Theoretically speaking, radish is not afraid of other Chinese medicines, so there is no influence on other Chinese medicines. However, because radish has the function of lowering qi and eliminating stagnation, Chinese medicine believes that it is easy to break qi if the qi is too strong. Therefore, eating radish will hinder the tonic effect of qi-invigorating drugs such as ginseng and astragalus, and it is often used to make soup with codonopsis pilosula and astragalus to achieve nourishing effect. Don't eat radish at this time unless you don't need the nourishing effect of those herbs.
