Many women usually drink traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their menstrual cycle and relieve symptoms of dysmenorrhea, but they are unaware of the contraindications of drinking traditional Chinese medicine for treating dysmenorrhea and believe that drinking traditional Chinese medicine will definitely have an effect. I don't know if some foods in daily diet can affect the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine, and taking them cannot achieve the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine. So, what should I not take when drinking traditional Chinese medicine for dysmenorrhea?
1. Raw and cold food. This type of food is mostly cold in nature and mainly serves to clear heat and quench thirst, making it suitable for heat related diseases. But it can easily affect gastrointestinal function, so patients with a deficiency cold constitution and gastrointestinal diseases should be contraindicated.
2. Food derived from organic matter. To a large extent, 'hair' can be said to have the intention of promoting the deterioration of diseases.
3. Fishy and fishy food. This type of food is mostly salty, cold, and fishy, and contains heterologous proteins, which can easily cause allergic reactions. Eating too much can damage the spleen and stomach and trigger diseases. Therefore, people with spleen and stomach diseases should not eat too much, especially those with allergies.
4. Spicy food. This type of food is often spicy and hot, and has the effect of promoting yang and strengthening the stomach. If consumed in excess, it is prone to phlegm and heat, dispersing qi and consuming blood. Therefore, this type of diet is only suitable for patients with cold syndrome diseases, and is not suitable for those with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, as well as patients with blood syndrome, warm disease, hemorrhoids, fistulas, and boils.
5. Greasy foods. This type of food includes animal fats and hard solid foods that are fried or fried in oil. Greasy food is harmful to the health of the spleen and stomach, so it is contraindicated for those with external diseases, jaundice, and diarrhea.
Although traditional Chinese medicine has good therapeutic effects in treating dysmenorrhea, many women like to take Chinese medicine to regulate dysmenorrhea and relieve the pressure of dysmenorrhea. But not every traditional Chinese medicine used to treat dysmenorrhea has the same therapeutic effect, and the specific conditioning methods and effects may vary from person to person.
