For Chinese women, I believe there is no one who doesn’t know how to go through confinement. They are very weak after giving birth. Generally, many women will do it for one month, and some will do it for two months. During the confinement period, you should eat some food that nourishes the body. I believe that many women have drunk chicken soup during their confinement period, and even until they are tired of it, they don’t want to eat chicken when they see it. Many people will feel normal if they add some nourishing things to the chicken soup.
However, it is understood that recently, a confinement center in Zhejiang was fined 30,000 yuan for adding Codonopsis to chicken soup.
What's going on? It attracted a lot of attention for a while, and some people were more questioning, can't Codonopsis be added to chicken soup? I sometimes add soup when I drink it at home. Will it be harmful to my health? Some people also know that it is a Chinese medicinal material, but they think that medicine and food are of the same origin, so they can be added when making soup, which is beneficial to nourish and regulate the body. Regarding Codonopsis, I will talk to you about this article today, and you will know after reading it.
Why is this confinement center punished for joining the party in chicken soup?
It turns out that after query, Codonopsis pilosula does not belong to a substance that is both a food and a Chinese medicinal material .
For this company, this practice is an illegal addition of drugs in production and operation, so it was punished.
doesn’t it mean that many Chinese medicines are of the same origin as medicine and food? Why can't you add it?
, not all Chinese medicinal materials can be used as food ingredient
Although there is indeed a saying that medicine and food are the same in the scope of traditional Chinese medicine, in daily life, some families will add some Chinese medicinal materials to supplement or regulate the body when they are friends. But everyone should know that medicine and food are of the same origin and does not mean that it can be confused with . First of all, it is a medicine, not all of which can be used as ingredients for cooking.
2. Chinese medicine is not a side effect without
. Moreover, it is still Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is not a side effect that many people think. In fact, many Chinese medicines have certain toxicity , and some even no longer appear on the list of pharmacopoeia in my country because of their carcinogens.
In addition, there are many Chinese patent medicines Chinese patent medicines , so no one can take them by themselves. If you ignore this and think that eating can take supplements, or can regulate the body or even prevent diseases, are all wrong ideas.
Eating randomly for a long time may not only increase the burden on the body, but it is easy to cause certain damage to the liver, kidney, and other internal organs. If you need to take supplements due to physical reasons, you must be scientifically and reasonably carried out under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine.
So regarding Codonopsis, who is suitable for using it to nourish and to regulate the body?
There are records about it in "Revised Bencao": "Sweet taste, flat nature, enters the spleen and lung meridians ." In addition, many ancient books have records. Speaking of its function, it can nourish qi and produce fluid, which is beneficial to the health of the spleen, stomach and lungs.
For the following groups, it can be used to nourish, regulate the body, and relieve physical discomfort:
People who often stay up late, sleep deficient, people who often have colds and coughs, people who have anorexia, and people with loose stools.
Although some people will add it when making soup at home, and they do not feel any discomfort due to it, it is recommended that be added by yourself if it is not necessary. Do not treat it as an ordinary food and eat . If necessary, it is recommended to use a reasonable amount and correct consumption method under the guidance and suggestions of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the body.
It has suitable people and unsuitable people. If you have cold , throat pain, oral ulcers, it is not suitable to take it, so as not to have adverse effects on the body after supplementing it, and may also aggravate discomfort.
What is the difference between it and other ginseng?
Its name has a ginseng word. Many people also know that there are ginseng and American ginseng . What are the differences between them? If it is necessary to supplement, which one is better?
Many people know that Ginseng is helpful for replenishing qi and is also beneficial for regulating the body. To be specific, it is actually more suitable for people with Yang qi in the body. People with insufficient yang energy are often afraid of cold, and their digestion and sleep are easily affected. Using it with appropriate conditioning under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine may improve.
American ginseng , the effect of replenishing deficiency is more prominent, and it also helps to nourish qi. For people with qi and yin deficiency in the body, it is more suitable.
Compared with ginseng, its has a cooler nature . This is one of its advantages, and it is not easy to get angry when used for supplementation.
and Codonopsis, its nature and suitable population, have been discussed above, so I will not go into details here. Which one is better to choose for
to regulate the body? In fact, there is no absolute answer. You have to choose according to your own situation. is suitable for you , and the best one is beneficial to your body. If you ignore the actual situation and think that the more expensive the price, the better. If you use it to condition it when it is not suitable for you, you may not only waste money in the end, but also lose your health, but you will be easily affected by adverse effects.
To sum up, there is a reason why this confinement center was punished for adding Codonopsis to chicken soup. Some Chinese medicinal materials are both food and Chinese medicinal materials that can be added to food, but Codonopsis is not included in it at present. For individuals, it is not recommended to join at will if necessary. If necessary, it is recommended to use it to regulate the body under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine. The method must be scientific and correct. In addition, who is suitable for supplementing with Codonopsis and who is not suitable for supplementing? I believe everyone knows this and hope you have no mistakes in supplementing it.
