Health for All says
First of all, we need to understand the ** of colds. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that colds are caused by the invasion of external evils. External evils include wind, cold, heat, dampness, etc., which correspond to different types of colds such as wind-cold cold, wind-heat cold, and damp evil cold. The selection of the right herbs can be done according to the type of cold**, rather than blindly using antibiotics.
Second, let's look at the mechanism of action of antibiotics. Antibiotics are mainly drugs that work against bacterial infections, which inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria by interfering with the biological processes of bacteria. However, colds are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not effective against viruses. Misuse of antibiotics not only prevents colds, but can also lead to the development of antibiotic resistance, which is ineffective against bacterial infections.
So, how can a cold get an effective **?There are many prescriptions for the symptoms of Chinese medicine, and some of the classic prescriptions are introduced below.
The first is ephedra soup. Ephedra soup was created by Zhang Zhongjing, used for ** wind and cold, and its formula is composed of ephedra, cinnamon branches, licorice, almonds, etc. Ephedra soup has the effect of diverging wind and cold, relieving the surface and dissipating cold, and is suitable for symptoms such as the beginning of cold, cold and fever, headache without sweating, nasal congestion and runny nose.
The second is Yinqiaosan. Yinqiaosan was created by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in ancient China, for wind, heat and cold, and its formula is composed of Yinqiao, Forsythia, Nepeta, mint, etc. Yinqiaosan has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, detoxifying and diverging the surface, and is suitable for symptoms such as fever, cough, redness, sore throat in the later stage of cold.
Finally, there is the cinnamon soup. Guizhi soup was created by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in ancient China, and was used for cold symptoms such as wind and cold hitting the surface and yang qi not rising. Its formula consists of cinnamon sticks, peony, licorice, ginger, etc. Guizhi soup has the effect of strengthening the right and dispelling evil, warming the meridian and dissipating cold, and is suitable for the first onset of cold, cold and fever, chest tightness and no sweat and other symptoms.
Although these prescriptions have good curative effects, in the case of **cold, we still have to use drugs rationally according to the specific situation. If the symptoms of a cold are mild, you can relieve the symptoms by increasing rest, hydration, and adjusting your diet reasonably. If the cold symptoms are severe, Chinese medicine** can be used, but it needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
In short, don't blindly use antibiotics when you have a cold, as antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. The **method of traditional Chinese medicine is more targeted at the **and symptoms of colds**, which can help speed up**. Rational use of drugs is an important part of protecting health, we should clarify the nature of the disease, choose the appropriate drug for **, and avoid the risk of misuse of antibiotics.
