Changes after drinking Bazhen Soup

Bazhen Soup cannot be consumed for a long time

Bazhen Soup is not only a very good Chinese medicine prescription, but also a common tonic, which is mainly extracted from eight kinds of Chinese medicine. Bazhen Decoction is often used to treat physical symptoms caused by deficiency of both qi and blood and has a good effect, but it cannot be used as a means to prevent deficiency of both qi and blood. If you want to avoid the occurrence of deficiency of both qi and blood, it is recommended to eat more foods that nourish qi and blood in daily life. Although Bazhen Soup is a tonic, it is also a medicine, so it is not suitable for long-term consumption. As a medicine, Bazhen Soup also has strict indications and contraindications. Remember not to take it indiscriminately.

The correct way to drink Bazhen Soup

One pack per day, three times a day, once in the morning, noon and evening. Take warm on an empty stomach at least half an hour before meals. For those with weak spleen and stomach, take the medicine one hour after a meal.

In addition, Qi and blood are the most deficient after menstruation, and it is most suitable to replenish Qi and blood. You can wait until the menstrual blood is completely discharged, and then take one pack each morning and evening for 3 to 6 consecutive days.

Bazhen Soup, which contains Chinese angelica, Chuanxiong, white peony, Rehmannia root, ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and roasted licorice, has the effect of replenishing qi. Bazhen Decoction is a fusion of Siwu Decoction and Sijunzi Decoction. Siwu Decoction focuses on replenishing blood, while Sijunzi Decoction focuses on replenishing Qi. The combination of the two can be said to replenish both Qi and blood. It is often used for sub-health, physical weakness after illness, and deficiency of both Qi and blood.

People who should not take Bazhen Soup

People with colds

It may aggravate cold symptoms or cause other symptoms.

Women who menstruate

It will increase blood circulation, causing an increase in menstrual blood volume, and in severe cases, it will cause hemorrhage.

Spleen and stomach deficiency

It is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach. They should first use Lizhong Decoction to regulate the weak spleen and stomach. It is not suitable for people with damp-heat constitution. They should eliminate dampness and clear heat before taking it.

What season is best to drink?

Many people believe that autumn and winter are the best time to take supplements because the weather is cold and there is a saying that people should hibernate in winter. So many people drink warm tonic foods in winter. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. According to traditional Chinese medicine, we should nourish yang in spring and summer and nourish yin in autumn and winter. Siwu Soup and Bazhen Soup are both yin-nourishing supplements, so they are best drunk in autumn and winter. This is another misunderstanding. "Analysis of Huangdi Neijing" believes that nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter can be summarized into three meanings: First, the health-preserving method adapted to the four seasons. Growth belongs to yang and storage belongs to yin. Therefore, nourishing the growing qi in spring and summer is nourishing yang, and nourishing the storage qi in autumn and winter is nourishing yin; second, nourishing yang refers to nourishing the two yang organs, the heart and the liver; nourishing yin refers to nourishing the two yin organs, the lungs and the kidneys; third, nourishing yang should follow the characteristics of the growth of yang qi and allow the yang qi to vent; while nourishing yin should follow the characteristics of the storage of yin qi and not allow the yin qi to vent. Siwu Decoction and Bazhen Decoction focus on nourishing the heart and liver. As mentioned above, the heart and liver are yang organs. Therefore, they correspond to the general principles of health preservation in the four seasons in "Huangdi Neijing": nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter. It is best to drink Siwu Soup and Bazhen Soup in spring and summer. Of course, it doesn't mean that it's not good to drink Siwu Soup or Bazhen Soup at other times. In terms of season, drinking them in spring and summer is certainly better than drinking them in autumn and winter. However, the most important thing is to look at the problem from our own physical constitution and decide how to drink Siwu Soup or Bazhen Soup according to our specific physical condition.
