Special attention:
Drinking medicinal tea should correspond to the disease, the void is supplemented, the actual is diarrhea, the cold is hot, and the hot is cold, in order to achieve the purpose of treatment. For diseases that cannot distinguish between cold and heat, we cannot generalize on one side and one side, and we should not drink Chinese herbal medicine as a supplement.
The medication time should also grasp the principle of "stopping the middle disease" to prevent the occurrence of short-term "treatment" of the disease and the long-term "cause" of the disease. Drinking medicinal tea should be taken warmly, frequently, unlimited times, one dose per day, and special circumstances need to be flexible.
