1. What is the matter of "virtual non-replenishment".
Some people get angry when they make up for it, either they have acne or mouth ulcers, otherwise their gums will be swollen and painful; some people will be constipated as soon as they make up for it, and some people will have diarrhea as soon as they make up for it; some people feel very good spirits when they make up for it, and they can't even sleep, and they don't feel sleepy for three days and three nights.
When it comes to tonic, it is natural to talk about the spleen and stomach, which will transport the food we eat into the subtleties of the valley and deliver it to the whole body to nourish our body.
Why do you always get on fire as soon as you make up for it? One is "blocked" and the other is "full."
We understand the spleen and stomach as a truck, so we will most often encounter two problems on the road of supplementation:
1. 堵：进补的通道太拥堵
It's like a car driving into a congested section of the road during rush hour, and you can't move forward if you want to, you can't get out if you want to retreat, you can't get stuck on the road, and you can't go anywhere.
You must know that many people's physiques are more stasis and blockage, and all kinds of phlegm and dampness, cold and dampness, blood stasis, and qi stagnation block the body's qi and nutrient delivery channels.
If you don't dredge the road surface first, eat more nourishing things, it will not go to the place where it should go, just like a steady stream of vehicles driving into the congested road section, but make the stasis more blocked, accumulate in the local area, and eventually stagnate and heat, and the result is a series of "fire" symptoms.
2. Full: The spleen and stomach carry too much
This is equivalent to the truck itself can carry 20kg of goods, you just want to put 30kg of goods on it, the result is that the vehicle is slow, loss of performance, and may even lead to a puncture and traffic accidents.
Nowadays, people generally eat better, not only three meals a day, but also afternoon tea and supper, in fact, many times the spleen and stomach are overfunctioning.
If we do not make room for the spleen and stomach before taking the tonic and continue to nourish it, once the ability of the spleen and stomach to move cannot keep up with the rhythm of food nutrition, no matter how much we eat, it will be a waste and become garbage. Not only can it not make up for the deficiency, but it will cause damage to the spleen and stomach.
Therefore, if you want to transform the tonic we eat into the qi and blood we need, you must make up for it when the spleen and stomach are strong and the body is clear.
Second, "the void is not compensated", how to make up
Experienced Chinese medicine practitioners, before giving you tonic, will first ensure that your qi and blood, meridians, and viscera are in a state of dredging, and then carry out targeted tonic.
1. Regulates the spleen and stomach
Stomach Qi refers to the qi of the spleen and stomach, which is the source of acquired biochemistry, not only food, but also medicine must pass through the function of the spleen and stomach before it can be infused throughout the body and exert its curative effect.
At the same time, spleen and stomach discomfort affects the digestion and absorption of drugs, and some drugs will also increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and even damage the function of the spleen and stomach, aggravating its lesions.
Therefore, when taking supplements, we should carefully choose medicinal materials and ingredients, and take into account the functions of the spleen and stomach to protect stomach qi.
2. Distinguish the constitution
A person's age, physical condition, disease syndrome, seasons change, physique is different, so the tonic must be symptomatic, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that "one medicine, one character, one hundred diseases", each tonic medicine is only suitable for a certain constitution, treatment of certain diseases. If you don't distinguish between qi and blood, yin and yang, and the five internal organs, and blindly make up for it, you will have uncomfortable symptoms.
Therefore, before taking the tonic, you must go to a regular medical institution to identify your own physique, as usual, it is manifested as yin deficiency such as lack of thirst, hot flashes, night sweats, dizziness, and sperm loss; there is a decline in the whole body function, sensitivity to cold, backache, limb warmth, impotence, etc., which are kidney yang deficiency; those who are manifested as dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, paleness, and low menstrual flow are blood deficiency; and those who feel weak and short of breath on weekdays are mostly qi deficiency......
3. It's better to make up in a hurry than to make up in a delay
Taking supplements must be "moderate", if you exceed this degree, you may convert in the opposite direction. If you are slightly weak, you can use ginseng and other big supplements, which are not only overkill, but may also be counterproductive.
Ginseng is the best of the best tonic products, but if it is not taken properly or taken for a long time, symptoms such as excitement, insomnia, and even loss of appetite and increased blood pressure will occur. Therefore, the dosage of the tonic must be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the person's physique, age, etc.
People who have been sick for a long time and are old and frail are not easy to make up for it urgently and urgently, and can only make up for it smoothly and slowly. In particular, it is necessary to smooth yin and yang, smooth qi and blood, it is best to start with a small dose and gradually adjust to the best dose, and it is advisable to choose drugs that are peaceful, tonic but not sluggish, and nourishing but not greasy.
