Who is not suitable for Licorice Decoction?

Many friends think that medicines are all right, but when we buy and use medicines, we always find that the manual will give a detailed introduction to the taboos of the medicines. This is because everyone's physical fitness is different, and one medicine is not suitable for all people. Licorice is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. Many friends have known it. Then who is not suitable for Licorice Decoction? Regarding this issue, let's take a closer look at the introduction in the article.

Who should not take Zhigancao Decoction?

Although licorice has many good effects, some people in daily life should still say no to licorice, such as people with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, pregnant women, erectile dysfunction, obesity, or liver and menstrual problems. Because clinical medicine has found that people who take licorice for a long time will generally have higher blood pressure, and it is undoubtedly unexpected for patients with hypertension to take licorice.

For example, patients with heart disease and kidney disease should not take licorice because it contains glycyrrhizic acid growth hormone. Pregnant women who take licorice may suffer from internal bleeding and lead to premature birth, which is very harmful to pregnant women. Licorice may cause abnormal weight gain, so it is definitely not a "good medicine" choice for obese people, especially in the current trend of "thinness is beautiful". If you want to become a thin beauty, you must avoid the "harm" of obesity caused by licorice. Studies have found that excessive consumption of licorice can cause erectile dysfunction, so patients with erectile dysfunction should avoid it. Modern scientific research shows that licorice contains glycyrrhizin, glycyrrhizic acid, licorice sugar and other ingredients, which have anti-infection and anti-allergy effects, can regulate the body's immune function, and have anti-tumor and analgesic effects. Therefore, the main function of licorice is to neutralize the severity of the disease, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, remove toxins, and harmonize various medicines. It is common in spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, fatigue, palpitations, and irregular pulse, and can detoxify.

The key functions and effects of Zhigancao Decoction are as follows:

1. The leading role of nourishing yin. In the Qing Dynasty, Ke Qin's "Shanghan Lai Su Ji? Shanghan Fuyi" emphasized that "Shengdi is the main ingredient, Ophiopogon japonicus is the secondary ingredient, and roasted licorice is the auxiliary ingredient. Large doses are used to replenish the true yin. This is the way to nourish yin." Tian Zonghan of the Qing Dynasty also believed that his prescription was "the ancestor of nourishing yin" in "Yi Ji You Yin Lun". 2. The main function of nourishing blood and qi is that a school of Chinese medicine represented by Tang Rongchuan of the Qing Dynasty believes that Zhigancao Decoction is a "great dose of nourishing blood and qi." 3. The effects and functions of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, represented by "Annotations on Treatise on Febrile Diseases", believe that the effect of Zhigancao Decoction should be to invigorate qi and blood, "invigorate deficiency, nourish blood, replenish qi and restore pulse".
