When drinking Chinese medicine, you can't drink strong tea, can't eat chili peppers, radishes has been a habit for many years, and there is also a certain reason. But it also varies from drug to drug, treated differently, not absolutely.
For example, tea contains tannins, strong tea contains higher content, and when taken with Chinese medicine decoctions, it can combine with proteins, alkaloids and heavy metal salts in some Chinese herbal medicines to produce precipitation. This will affect the absorption of the active ingredients of certain drugs, especially preventing the body's absorption of nutrients such as proteins. Therefore, it is generally not advisable to drink strong tea when taking Chinese medicine, especially when taking tonic medicine, let alone drink strong tea at the same time.
Luo ト has the effect of eliminating food, dissolving phlegm, and ventilation, and ginseng is a large tonic for vitality, so that once supplemented and eliminated, the effect is canceled. Therefore, if you take ginseng, you cannot eat radish ト. Not only ginseng, but also other tonics, will reduce the effect of tonic drugs chili pepper is heat, in Chinese medicine dialectic "fever" patients, such as constipation, less urine, dry mouth, sore throat and other symptoms, taking chili pepper will increase the heat image, and reduce the effect of antipyretic drugs (such as gypsum, double flower, lianxi, gongyin, didin) and yin nourishing drugs (such as dendrobium, sand ginseng, Mai Dong, zhimu, Xuan ginseng, etc.). However, these are not absolute, such as tea, although it is not conducive to the body's absorption of drugs, but at the same time it is also a good Chinese medicine, with refreshing, refreshing and diuretic effects.
Therefore, it is also commonly used in some anti-table, axillary, and diuretics. Luo ト has the effect of ventilation and food elimination, and when taking ginseng indiscriminately leads to chest tightness and shortness of breath, restlessness, and greatly reduced appetite, it is necessary to need Luo ト to dissipate qi, or in some patients who are really weak and have poor gastrointestinal absorption function, when taking tonics, add a small amount of Luo ト (Lai Lingzi), but it is conducive to the absorption of tonics. When treating "cold", chili pepper has a synergistic effect with warm Chinese medicines (such as cannon ginger, aconite, cinnamon). And the spicy itself also has a certain function of sweating and driving cold.
Therefore, it is not comprehensive to only emphasize that you should not drink strong tea, eat radishes, and peppers when persuading Chinese medicine, and the specific situation should be treated on a case-by-case basis.
