The second phase of Project Stellar
In recent years, the popularity and application of traditional Chinese medicine among the public has become more and more widespread, however, due to some misunderstandings and incorrect ways of use, traditional Chinese medicine has also begun to be frequently classified as "poison". Although TCM is highly effective, it is not without ***, especially for those who are over-misused and improperly applied. This article will take an in-depth look at this phenomenon** and remind everyone about the correct use of traditional Chinese medicine and the five kinds of traditional Chinese medicine should not be used as a tonic.
First of all, TCM is called a "poison" mainly because some patients do not follow the doctor's prescription and advice during use. Although traditional Chinese medicine is regulated by the effects of yin and yang, viscera, meridians and other aspects of the human body, the dosage and duration of medication for people with different constitutions are also different, and must be determined by the TCM physician according to the specific situation of the patient. If not properly guided, even commonly used Chinese medicine may bring *** or even increase the complexity of the disease to patients.
Secondly, the rational application of Chinese medicine needs to be based on the theory of Chinese medicine. According to ancient records, Chinese herbal medicines and prescriptions are not pure supplements, but tools for syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the relevant knowledge of Chinese medicine theories. The premise of the use of traditional Chinese medicine is to clarify the first and dialectical treatment. Therefore, we cannot simply equate Chinese medicine with nutritional health products such as vitamins and minerals, but should use it under the guidance of TCM professionals.
In addition, in response to the question in the title of the article, we need to remind everyone that there are five kinds of Chinese medicine that should not be used as supplements. First of all, although aconite has the effect of warming up and refreshing the body, it is a highly toxic drug, and excessive use will cause damage to the heart and liverSecondly, realgar has bactericidal and detoxification effects, but excessive use will have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system, resulting in poisoning;In addition, although sulfur can kill bacteria and dampness, if used in large doses, it may cause irreversible damage to ** and the liver. In addition, magnesium arsenate and estrogen are also commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, but they can be harmful to the digestive tract and endocrine system when used improperly, so they must be used with caution.
For Chinese medicine as a tonic, we must pay attention to the following points. First of all, there should be a limit to the time of use of Chinese medicine, and long-term excessive use can have a negative impact on the body. Secondly, everyone's physique is different, and you can't just use Chinese medicine with the mentality of "what suits others is suitable for me".It should be reasonably selected and used according to one's own constitution and specific conditions, under the guidance of a physician. In addition, although traditional Chinese medicine has its own unique curative effect, it is not "planted and eaten", and it still needs to be taken under the guidance of a physician to minimize the probability of ***.
In short, traditional Chinese medicine, as a traditional **, can bring great benefits to patients under the premise of correct use and following the doctor's instructions. However, Chinese medicine is not a panacea, nor is it suitable for everyone, therefore, we must have the right understanding and attitude before using Chinese medicine. Only under the guidance of physicians and rational application according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine can the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine be better exerted.
