Taboos for drinking traditional Chinese medicine:

1, avoid strong tea

Generally, don't drink strong tea when taking traditional Chinese medicine, because tea contains tannic acid, and strong tea contains more tannic acid. Taking it with traditional Chinese medicine will affect the absorption of effective components in traditional Chinese medicine and reduce the curative effect. Especially when taking "Ejiao" and "Tremella", avoid taking it with tea, and taking it at the same time will precipitate tannic acid and alkaloids in tea, which will affect human absorption. If you have the habit of drinking tea, you can drink less green tea, preferably after taking the medicine for 2 ~ 3 hours.

2, avoid radish

When taking traditional Chinese medicine, it is not advisable to eat raw radish (except taking drugs for regulating qi and resolving phlegm), because radish has the effect of promoting digestion and breaking qi, especially when taking nourishing traditional Chinese medicines such as ginseng and astragalus, eating radish will weaken the nourishing effect of ginseng and others, reduce the curative effect and fail to achieve the therapeutic purpose.

3. Avoid catching a cold

Cold food is cold and difficult to digest. Cold food is also easy to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and affect the absorption of drugs in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, in the treatment of "cold syndrome", taking traditional Chinese medicines such as warming meridians and dredging collaterals, dispelling cold and eliminating dampness, or strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, we must avoid eating cold food.

4, avoid spicy

Mala Tang is warm and consumes pneumatic fire. If you take traditional Chinese medicines such as clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, cooling blood and nourishing yin, or during the treatment of carbuncle, ulcer and toxic heat, you must avoid spicy food. Such as onions, garlic, peppers, mutton, dog meat and other spicy products, if eaten, will offset the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and some will also contribute to inflammation, yin injury and blood circulation (bleeding).

5, avoid greasy

Greasy food is sticky, which helps to dry dampness and produce phlegm, moisten intestines and regulate qi, and is not easy to digest and absorb. Moreover, the mixture of greasy food and drugs will hinder the absorption of effective ingredients in gastrointestinal tract, thus reducing the curative effect. Eating meat and greasy food will inevitably affect the absorption of Chinese medicine during taking Chinese medicine. Therefore, patients with severe phlegm dampness, spleen and stomach weakness, dyspepsia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, high blood viscosity and obesity should avoid eating greasy things such as animal fat.

6. Avoid fishy smell

Traditional Chinese medicine generally has an aromatic smell, especially aromatic drugs for eliminating dampness and regulating qi, which contain a lot of volatile oil and play a therapeutic role. This aromatic substance is the most incompatible with the fishy smell. If you don't avoid the fishy smell when eating traditional Chinese medicine, it will often affect the curative effect. For example, fish, shrimp and seafood smell fishy, and cattle and sheep smell bad. For allergic dermatitis patients such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, boils, eczema, urticaria, etc., we must avoid eating fishy things and eat less fishy and irritating hair such as chicken, sheep, pig's head, crab and goose during taking traditional Chinese medicine. Because this kind of food contains foreign protein, some patients are particularly sensitive and allergic, thus aggravating their illness.
