Drinking Chinese medicine can effectively treat some chronic diseases, and some stubborn diseases can be cured if treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, Chinese medicine has become a treatment method that many people at home and abroad trust. Everyone has different reactions after taking Chinese medicine, so how long is normal for the Chinese medicine disease-eliminating reaction to last? The detoxification reaction after taking Chinese medicine is often manifested in the form of diarrhea, and the time varies from person to person.

Detoxification symptoms after taking Chinese medicine:

Many Chinese medicines will cause diarrhea after taking them, because Chinese medicine is originally a kind of detoxification medicine. Diarrhea is mostly a detoxification phenomenon. Medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying, such as honeysuckle, forsythia, dandelion, scutellaria, etc., will make the stool thin, so it is normal to have diarrhea. As long as it's not serious it's fine.

Although there are relatively few adverse reactions to Chinese medicine, there are still some aspects that need to be paid attention to when taking Chinese medicine. It is generally best to take it 30-60 minutes after a meal. To reduce drug irritation to the gastric mucosa. in addition. It is best not to drink tea, coffee, milk or soy milk about an hour before or after taking Chinese medicine to avoid interfering with the efficacy of the medicine and affecting the therapeutic effect.

In addition, some people get diarrhea after taking Chinese medicine. This may be caused by the medicine being too cold. If the diarrhea is severe, the medicine should be stopped. In addition, not all Chinese medicines will cause diarrhea. It mainly depends on the type of prescription you take. As mentioned above, if it is a prescription for clearing heat and detoxifying, and it contains cold medicines, it is normal to have diarrhea after taking it. It is best to consult your doctor about possible adverse reactions before taking any medicine.

No matter what medicine you take, some reactions of the body are inevitable. As long as it is a normal reaction to the medicine, it is okay. But if the reaction is serious, such as persistent diarrhea after taking Chinese medicine, you should stop taking the medicine and go for a follow-up visit in time to choose a more appropriate medicine.

Although Chinese medicine does not have as many side effects as Western medicine, it is still poisonous after all. If you take too much medicine, it will cause great harm to your body. Toxins will accumulate in the body, especially causing great harm to the kidneys. If you want to detoxify, dietary adjustment is also very important, and you don't necessarily have to drink Chinese medicine.

What should we pay attention to when detoxifying?

The first thing is to pay attention that when cleansing the intestines, you cannot eat spicy or greasy food. You cannot eat these things anymore, and you cannot eat or drink cigarettes or alcohol anymore. These things can only accumulate toxins in the intestines and have no effect on eliminating them. And here, the spicy food includes chili peppers, ginger, leeks, dog meat, mutton and other foods. After these things enter your intestines, they will damage more intestinal functions, thereby reducing the vitality and function of the intestines.

Secondly, at this time, you must also remember that your intestinal motility may be weakened and you may not be able to defecate, so you may wonder if you can use some laxatives to expel the stool. If you use laxatives, you will damage your intestinal function to a greater extent. This mainly uses some medicinal properties to stimulate the function of the intestines, which will weaken some functions of the intestines themselves, so that after a long time, your intestinal function will be lost more. The end result is that your intestines will only rely on medication to carry out some bowel movements. Do you want to use this kind of medicine or not?

Third, we should stop abusing some heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs. After these drugs enter the body, they seem to help you reduce some constipation behaviors. But, actually, it’s not. For you, if you stop taking these things, your constipation will become more severe. This means that although it has a certain laxative effect, it cannot play a complete role. It is best to use the inclusion method directly.

The last one is here, and you should also stop taking drugs that inhibit your intestinal motility. In fact, this intestinal cleansing substance is also a medicine in itself, just like the medicine mentioned above. After you eat it, there will be an astringent effect, so it resists the peristalsis of your intestines and aggravates the constipation.
