Hello everyone, I am Dr. Ke of TCM, I have been practicing medicine for many years, and patients often come to me for consultation on Shengmai Drink. They always ask me, "Dr. Ke, what is Shengmai Drink?"What does it do?Can I eat it for a long time?”
In fact, Shengmai Drink is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription and a Chinese patent medicine, which is mainly composed of ginseng, wheat dong and schisandra chinensis. Its function is to invigorate qi and rejuvenate Jin, collect yin and stop sweating, and can be used for symptoms such as palpitation, shortness of breath, self-sweating, and thirst caused by qi and yin deficiency.
So, can you eat Shengmai drink for a long time?There is no one easy answer to this question as it is to be judged on a case-by-case basis. Generally speaking, if you have symptoms of qi and yin deficiency and there are no obvious contraindications, then you can take Shengmai Drink under the guidance of your doctor, and have regular follow-up appointments to adjust the dosage and course of treatment according to your symptoms and pulse.
However, if you do not have symptoms of qi and yin deficiency, or have other medical conditions, or are allergic to any of the Chinese herbs in Shengmai Drink, then you should not take Shengmai Drink, or you should take it cautiously under the guidance of your doctor.
I once used Shengmai to drink ** a patient with severe qi and yin deficiency, he is a middle-aged man, because of long-term fatigue, staying up late, excessive drinking and other reasons, resulting in palpitation, shortness of breath, self-sweating, thirst and other symptoms. He tried many methods to no avail, and even wanted to have heart bypass surgery. However, he was worried about the risks and sequelae of the surgery, so he came to me to seek TCM**.
According to his symptoms and pulse, I prescribed him a prescription for adding and subtracting the Shengmai Drink. Let him take one dose a day for a month. At the same time, I also told him to pay attention to rest, adjust his diet, and maintain a good mood.
When he came back to see me a month later, I was surprised to find that his symptoms had been greatly reduced, and his symptoms such as palpitation, shortness of breath, sweating, and thirst had improved significantly. He was also very happy and said to me, "Dr. Ke, you are amazing!This Shengmai drink is amazing!”
Of course, I would also like to remind everyone that although Shengmai Drink is an effective prescription for invigorating qi and rejuvenating the body, it is not suitable for everyone. If you have one of the following conditions, you should not take Shengmai Drink:
1- Those who have a cold, fever or damp heat;
2- Pregnant or lactating women;
3- Those who are allergic to any kind of Chinese medicine in Shengmai Drink;
4- Patients with severe hepatic and renal insufficiency or heart disease;
5- Those who are taking other medications or health supplements and may interact with Shengmai Drink.
In short, what changes will occur in the body after eating Shengmai drink for a long time?There is no one easy answer to this question and it is up to each individual to judge on their specific circumstances. If you have symptoms of qi and yin deficiency and there are no obvious contraindications, then you can take Shengmai Drink under the guidance of a doctor, and have regular follow-up appointments to adjust the dosage and course of treatment according to your symptoms and pulse. However, if you do not have symptoms of qi and yin deficiency, or have other medical conditions, or are allergic to any of the Chinese herbs in Shengmai Drink, then you should not take Shengmai Drink, or you should take it cautiously under the guidance of your doctor.
