Traditional medicine is a treasure of our country. It has a long history and has a unique medical effect. In life, people often take Chinese medicine to regulate some minor physical problems.
In our impression, Chinese patent medicines are relatively safer than Western medicines. Moreover, when it comes to taking Chinese patent medicines for a long time, there are also many people who take Chinese patent medicines for a long time, especially for some middle-aged and elderly people with poor physical fitness, their trust in Chinese medicine is higher.
Many people think that drinking Chinese medicine can treat a series of physical diseases, and some people even achieve the purpose of caring for their health by drinking Chinese medicine. Some people believe that Chinese medicine has no side effects, and even take it every day, saying that it can nourish the body.
However, people also pay attention to medicines being toxic, and traditional Chinese medicine is also a medicine. Is drinking Chinese medicine for a long time good for the body? Some people have heard that drinking Chinese medicine is not good for the liver.
What is Chinese medicine?
Chinese medicine refers to a drug that uses traditional Chinese medicine theory to guide collection, preparation, and preparation, explain the mechanism of action, and guide clinical application. It is collectively called traditional Chinese medicine. In short, traditional Chinese medicine is a substance used to prevent, treat, diagnose diseases and have rehabilitation and health care effects under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory.
Chinese medicine comes from natural medicines and their processed products, including plant medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines, and some chemical and biological medicines. In clinical practice, plant medicines and animal medicines are common, and there will be great differences in the efficacy and toxic side effects of the medicine.
Various drugs themselves have several characteristics and functions. In traditional Chinese medicine, the properties and properties of drugs related to efficacy are collectively called medicinal properties. The theory of medicinal properties includes meridians, compatibility, toxic and non-toxic, contraindications, etc.
You need to find an experienced doctor to prepare a prescription based on your personal physical condition. You should keep your diet light during the Chinese medicine and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.
What impact does it have on the liver when drinking Chinese medicine frequently?
, damage liver function
Long-term Chinese medicine will cause certain damage to the liver, because some drugs will be metabolized and detoxified by the liver, which may affect the liver's function.
Drinking Chinese medicine for a long time will definitely have side effects, which will not only have a certain impact on the stomach, but the most important thing is that it will damage the liver and kidneys. Most of the metabolism of drugs is metabolized through the liver and kidneys, so it will cause a great burden on the liver and kidneys, which will damage the normal function of the liver and kidneys.
. Adverse reactions will occur
There are many uncertainties in the process of planting, picking, transportation and processing of Chinese herbal medicines. If a certain link is not controlled well, it will also affect the safety of the drug and adverse reactions will occur after taking them.
. Influencing the efficacy of the medicine
Many people also take Western medicine while taking traditional Chinese medicine. Regardless of the efficacy and ingredients, or their physical condition, they mix together and take it together. As a result, the drug ingredients react, causing discomfort to the body, and in severe cases, it may even damage liver .
Suggestions: 5 Chinese medicines may be taken less
, Tu Panax notoginseng
Tu Panax notoginseng is actually not a regular drug. It is not only not included in the National Pharmacopoeia, but also has no relevant records in various traditional Chinese medicine classics.
The so-called Soil Panax notoginseng is a general term for a variety of plants. Common soil Panax notoginseng include Panax notoginseng, Lowering Glycose, and Red Pineapple . The pyrrolicidine alkaloids contained in these plants are hepatotoxic and can easily induce cirrhosis of , and even lead to liver failure, which seriously endangeres liver health.
Often some people originally wanted to use Panax notoginseng to regulate their bodies, but the misuse of Tu Panax notoginseng causes damage to their bodies. I remind everyone to pay attention to distinguishing when purchasing.
, Caowu
With the development of the times, life is faster, and many young people have developed bad living habits and eating habits, such as overeating, eating cold drinks, eating some spicy and stimulating foods, staying up late and eating irregularly, etc., which may increase the risk of chronic arthritis.
When arthritis occurs, using Caowu can relieve the pain in the body, effectively relieve pain and anesthesia, prevent the spread of pain in the joints and promote sleep quality.
However, I would like to remind everyone here that Caowu itself contains certain toxins. You must control the intake when taking medicine, otherwise it may lead to reduced kidney cells and liver functions, which will have some impact on internal organs.
, Ginkgo
Ginkgo has a good effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. It can be used to treat asthma , and it will have good results. However, if ginkgo has not been processed, it is best not to take it, because unprocessed ginkgo will have certain toxicity. If consumed too much, it will also lead to abdominal distension and will also bring certain toxic side effects to the liver.
So when taking ginkgo, it is best to cook it before taking it, and it also needs to peel off its peel, soak it in clean water for an hour before cooking and eating.
, pomegranate peel
When eating pomegranate, you will eat pomegranate peel if you accidentally. I believe everyone still remembers the sour taste. But many people don’t know that pomegranate skin can also be used as medicine. It can stop bleeding, deworm, astring intestines, and treat diarrhea, prolapse , worm accumulation and abdominal pain, and women’s melancholy.
However, the side effects of pomegranate peel are also obvious. It contains heavy metals, which will increase the liver's metabolic burden after invading the human body, which is not conducive to liver health.
, Polygonum multiflorum
may be people who are familiar with Polygonum multiflorum , which is a medicinal material. Polygonum multiflorum has blood circulation and removes blood stasis and relieves blood stasis, and can also promote the growth of body hair, but daily food is not particularly friendly to our bodies.
If you do not pay attention to intake in the body, it may cause toxins to enter the body, thereby spreading to other body parts along with the blood circulation. Therefore, for the sake of health, do not take it blindly.
extension--What side effects will occur when drinking Chinese medicine for a long time?
, a series of symptoms
Although the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are not great, they cannot be ignored. If you take Chinese medicine for a long time or take too much, your body will also experience a series of symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and fatigue.
. Impaired spleen and stomach function
Some drugs may damage the stomach and lead to a decrease in spleen and stomach function. Compared with food, the digestion and absorption of drugs is relatively difficult, especially for attacking or greasy drugs with heavy taste. After taking this type of drug, it will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and over time, the digestive function of the spleen and stomach is weakened.
. Dependence
Highly taking Chinese medicine can easily lead to people's dependence on drugs. As long as the body does not drink medicine for a day, it will be unbearable. In addition, long-term taking Chinese medicine may lead to decreased organs and sexual functions. Therefore, you must use medicine reasonably under the guidance of a doctor and do not prescribe yourself.
, Reaction
The efficacy of some drugs is a side effect from another perspective, such as Liuwei Dihuang Wan .For patients with Yin deficiency and Fire intensive , Liuwei Dihuang Pills have better treatment effect, but taking Yin deficiency and does not exist in the body and has heavy dampness may further aggravate the moisture, and the positive effect becomes a reverse effect.
