The second phase of Project Stellar
As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I am well aware of the importance of the sexual taste of Chinese medicine to the effect of medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that each herb has its own unique flavor and belongs to different meridians, so its effects on the human body will also be different. Correctly understanding the sexual taste of drugs can not only better guide the application of drugs, but also improve the health preservation effect.
First of all, let's understand the classification of sexual taste in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine divides the sexual taste of Chinese medicine into five flavors, namely bitter, sweet, sour, pungent and salty. Each medicine has its own unique medicinal properties and has different effects and effects. Bitterness has the effects of clearing heat, purging down, gushing springs, etc., such as Coptis chinensis and Phellodendron chinensisSweet taste has the effect of tonifying the spleen, moistening the lungs, and invigorating the body, such as licorice and wolfberryThe sour taste has the effects of astringency and sweating, such as schisandra chinensis and sour jujube kernelsThe spicy taste has the effect of dissipating wind and cold, dissipating external evils, such as chili, green onions, ginger and garlic;The salty taste has the effects of softening and dispersing knots, dissolving phlegm and opening the body, such as seaweed and kelp.
Drugs with different tastes correspond to different meridian affiliations. According to the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is connected to its surroundings through the meridian system, and meridians are a very important concept in traditional Chinese medicine theory. Depending on the sexual taste of the drug, it can be classified into one or more of the twelve meridians. For example, Coptis chinensis is a bitter taste, which belongs to the heart, liver, and gallbladder meridiansLicorice belongs to the sweet taste and belongs to the spleen, lungs, heart, and kidney meridians;Schisandra chinensis belongs to the sour taste and belongs to the lungs and kidney meridians;Chili pepper belongs to the spicy taste, belonging to the lungs, spleen, stomach, and large intestine meridians;Seaweed is salty and belongs to the lungs, stomach, and large intestines.
It is of great significance to correctly understand the sexual taste of drugs. First of all, the attribution of sexual taste can guide the selection and application of drugs. Depending on the condition, choosing the corresponding sexual odor drug can be more effective in ** the disease. For example, for patients with obvious symptoms of heat, we can choose bitter and cold medicines**, such as Coptis chinensis and Phellodendron chinensis, to clear heat and reduce fire;For patients with hot lung meridians, we can choose drugs with astringent sour taste**, such as schisandra chinensis and sour jujube kernels, to converge lung qi, relieve asthma and relieve cough.
Secondly, the return of sexual taste to the meridians can also guide health care. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on regulating the body, and health care is a very important part of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. By understanding the sexual taste of drugs, we can choose suitable food conditioning according to our own situation. For example, for people with spleen deficiency and less food, we can choose sweet foods for conditioning, such as wolfberries and red dates, to replenish the spleen and strengthen the stomachFor people with a cold constitution, we can choose spicy foods for conditioning, such as ginger and green onions, to warm the yang and dispel the cold.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that it is important to follow the guidance of a TCM practitioner when administering medications or performing health care. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a complex discipline that requires professional guidance for the application of medicines and health care. Individual differences are great, and the same medication or food may have different effects on different people. Therefore, when choosing a drug or health care, it is important to consult the advice of a professional TCM practitioner to avoid the adverse consequences caused by misuse.
By understanding the sexual taste of drugs, we can better understand the mechanism of action of drugs, apply drugs correctly, and improve health preservation effects. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will continue to adhere to the theory of Chinese medicine, pass on the knowledge of Chinese medicine, and escort people's health.
