After reading Chinese medicine, I often hear the contraindications of Chinese medicine at the end. The most common one is not to eat, why not eat greasy and spicy food, take a good rest, etc. Words.
Then, after acupuncture and moxibustion, should I stop my mouth? If you want to avoid your mouth, what can you eat and what can't?
To clarify these problems, you must first understand the following aspects.
1. Why do Chinese medicine require to avoid mouth?
Regardless of the fact that there are Chinese and Western medicines, the dietary adjustments in Western medicine are the same thing. For the dietary taboos mentioned by Chinese medicine, these three aspects need to be considered. The first is the cold and hot attributes of the food, the second is the pathogenic nature of the patient's disease, and the last is the patient's own physical condition.
First of all, any food has its own warm, hot, cold and cold properties. The temptation in Chinese medicine is to consider the warm, hot and cold properties of food. The food eaten by special patients should not be the same as the nature of the disease, such as heat. Sores in the mouth and tongue and rash and heat sores all over the body caused by Zaizhixie. If you continue to eat spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, the condition may be aggravated. Therefore, the food that the patient eats at this time needs to be light and cool food, such as bitter gourd, lily and other foods.
After receiving acupuncture treatment, patients also need to pay attention to their diet. This is the same as using Chinese medicine. After all, acupuncture is also a part of Chinese medicine and uses the same set of theories. The patient's diet list should meet the needs of the condition, and don't help the evil. However, in terms of acupuncture, should pay special attention to patients after using suppurative moxibustion, not to eat foods with high protein content, such as peanuts, soy milk, soybeans and other foods.
Secondly, the patient’s illness is nothing more than feeling wind, cold, heat, dryness, fire, and endogenous evils and emotions. At this time, the dietary taboos are opposite to the nature of the evils . It also uses the warm and cold nature of food, so that evil will not harm the righteousness.
Finally, for the relationship between the patient's physique and diet, it is also necessary to eat food of the opposite nature. People with phlegm and damp constitution should avoid eating pork and other phlegm-prone foods. People with hot body constitution should not eat spicy foods. Patients with weak blood and qi should not eat foods with higher clearing components, such as coix seed and coptis.
Currently. Clinically, most patients receive acupuncture treatment, nothing more than pain and neuromuscular diseases. Except for those with intractable diseases, most of the righteousness has not been hurt, so the diet should not be too nourishing.
For thread-embedding patients, eat less fish, shrimp, crabs, milk protein, soybeans and other foods; moxibustion patients should not eat peppers, longans and other foods; patients after massive bleeding should eat more blood-enriching foods, such as donkey-hide gelatin, longan and other foods .
2. Will there be any pinholes in the acupuncture place? Will I get infected in the bath?
Many patients will always ask me after acupuncture and moxibustion: "Doctor, can I take a bath when I go back?" For patients who have acupuncture on the head, they will ask: "Doctor, can I wash my hair when I go back?"
Every time I hear such a question, I always tire of it and tell them without a doubt: "Yes!"
Is it really possible? Will there be no pinholes in the skin after acupuncture? Will the sewage flow into the body through the pinholes when I wash my hair?
Of course not, because the human body is elastic, and it will not be said that a large gap is left due to acupuncture. After all, the diameter of acupuncture needles is still very small. Automatically close due to elasticity. Although a pinhole can still be seen under the microscope, the tiny water still cannot enter the body through this small hole. Therefore, after receiving acupuncture treatment, it is still possible to take a bath and wash your hair, so there is no need to worry about infection.
3. Things you can't do after acupuncture and moxibustion
After figuring out the dietary taboos after acupuncture and moxibustion, you must pay attention to the precautions after acupuncture. After acupuncture and moxibustion, after acupuncture treatment on the human body that has been invaded by pathogens, the meridian qi is stimulated to drive away the evil and strengthen the righteousness. At this time, do not continue to fight the righteous and help the evil.
If you feel wind evil, you should avoid wind and cold after acupuncture treatment; if you feel heat evil, you have to avoid entering the body due to heat; if you feel cold evil, you have to avoid wind and cold.
In terms of physique, patients with phlegm and damp constitution should refrain from doing things that hurt the spleen and stomach, such as overeating and cold, which will hinder the spleen and stomach qi and hinder the metabolism of water.
After moxibustion, do not drink cold drinks and blow air on your face, so as not to hurt the righteousness and make the curative effect impossible.
