The body's physical fitness will decline with age, and in this case, the body will be more likely to develop some more serious disease symptoms. This situation is very dangerous to your health. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the body with some nutrients at this time. Some nourishing prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine can have a good effect of supplementing nutrition. So what are the taboos of drinking tonic Chinese medicine? Let us introduce it below.

What are the precautions for taking tonic Chinese medicine? Many people believe that Chinese medicine is mild in nature, has no toxic side effects, can cure diseases, and can keep fit, so they take Chinese medicine in large quantities. In fact, this is a wrong idea. As the saying goes: All medicines are poisonous. Any medicine has side effects, let alone traditional Chinese medicine. So, what should we pay attention to when taking Chinese medicine? According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the poison of Chinese medicine refers to things with bias. In clinical practice, Chinese medicine uses the bias of medicine to correct the bias of the body. If taking tonic medicine causes an imbalance in the body, then it is considered as an unbalanced tonic. Take ginseng for example. It has a strong effect of replenishing qi and can replenish deficiency and nourish qi. But if it is given to young people, they already have strong fire power in their bodies, and they often have nosebleeds after eating ginseng.

Tonic Chinese medicine is a tonic when used on people who need it, but a poison when used on people who don’t need it. Traditional Chinese medicine places great emphasis on balance. The human body has both an insufficient side that needs to be supplemented and an excessive side that needs to be suppressed. If you supplement too much, it will backfire, disrupt the balance, and overnutrition may also cause disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine health care focuses on replenishing the deficiency. For those who are neither sick nor weak, there is no need to use any medicine at all. Their health care is mainly based on non-drug methods. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that the principle of tonic is to replenish the deficiency. People who are not suffering from deficiency syndrome cannot take tonic medicine. Deficiency syndromes are divided into yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency, blood deficiency, etc. Only by taking the right medicine can the body be replenished. If you use tonic medicine indiscriminately without distinguishing between deficiency and excess symptoms, the condition will only get worse. The biggest taboo in taking Chinese tonic medicine is to take it without considering your physical condition and blindly follow the trend.

The taboos of drinking tonic Chinese medicine are those introduced above. If you can pay more attention to these aspects when drinking tonic Chinese medicine, there will be no adverse effects. In addition to taking nourishing Chinese medicine for the body. You should also pay more attention to supplementing your body with more nutritious foods in your daily diet, so that your body can be healthier.
