These seven taboos for women to replenish blood need to be taken seriously

Blood supplementation is one of the important topics in women's health preservation. Adequate qi and blood not only allow women to have good skin and a good appearance, but also help women coordinate their body's health. However, there are also misunderstandings about blood supplementation for women. Choosing the wrong way to supplement blood will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will also be counterproductive. So, what are the taboos for women to replenish blood?

1. Lycium barbarum blood supplement during the follicular phase

At this time, follicles begin to grow in the ovaries, and the ovaries secrete hormones to help the endometrium grow. To promote the development and maturation of follicles, the main focus should be on nourishing blood and yin, while paying attention to nourishing the kidneys. Add a small piece of white fungus to 10-15 wolfberries, then simmer over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

Contraindications of using wolfberry

Wolfberry has a very strong effect of warming the body. People with high blood pressure, overly impatient temperament, or people who consume a lot of meat on a daily basis and have a red face should not eat it. Patients with acute illnesses such as colds, fevers, inflammation, diarrhea, etc. should not eat it during the illness period. The most suitable people to eat wolfberry are those with weak constitution and poor resistance, but you must eat a little every day and persist in eating it for a long time to see the effect. Do not consume any tonic in excess, and wolfberry is no exception. Generally speaking, it is appropriate for healthy adults to eat about 20 grams of wolfberry per day.

2. Salvia miltiorrhiza blood supplement during ovulation

To induce ovulation, drugs that can dredge meridians, promote qi circulation and activate blood circulation should be added on the basis of nourishing essence and blood. In addition to replenishing blood, Salvia miltiorrhiza can also promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, clear the heart and relieve restlessness, relieve pain and calm the mind. Wash and slice 15 grams of salvia miltiorrhiza, cut some ginger slices and scallion segments, and boil them together for 20 minutes. Then cut the soaked jellyfish skin into segments and put them into the pot, then season.

Danshen edible taboo

1. We must be special careful when using Danshen. If the person has a tendency to bleed or the bleeding is very severe, do not use Danshen because it is a blood-activating medicine.

2. Danshen cannot be used together with Veratrum.

3. There is another point that everyone must remember, that is, pregnant women must use Chinese medicines that promote blood circulation, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, with caution or not at all.

3. How to use cooked rehmannia to replenish blood during the luteal phase

This is the late stage of ovulation, and both yin and yang should be supplemented, with kidney yang as the main focus. Rehmannia glutinosa is sweet in taste, warm in nature, and moist in texture. It can enter the liver meridian and kidney meridian. It has the effects of nourishing blood and yin, replenishing essence and benefiting marrow. You can cook Rehmannia glutinosa and rice together to make porridge.

Contraindications of using Rehmannia glutinosa

1. No copper or iron utensils are allowed when cooking or boiling.

"Leigong's Explanation of the Properties of Medicinal Materials" says: "Pick raw Rehmannia root, remove the white skin, steam it in a willow wood steamer on a ceramic pot, let the steam die, mix with wine, steam it again, and let it dry. Do not expose it to copper or iron, as it will cause kidney failure and gray hair, damage the blood circulation in men and the defense system in women." Do not allow copper or iron to be seen during the processing of cooked Rehmannia root. Do not use iron pots or kettles for decoction. "Yaojian" states: "If it comes into contact with iron containers, it will cause kidney failure." The storage should be as stated in "Bencao Congxin": "It tastes sweet like honey and must be stored in porcelain containers because it is fat, soft and moist."

2. Avoid eating radish, three whites, blood, etc.

"Essentials of Compendium of Materia Medica" records: Avoid eating radish, green onion, leek and scallion. "Essential Medicinal Materials and Their Dosages" says "Avoid radish, onion, garlic, and all kinds of blood." Radish seeds can reduce Qi, while Panax notoginseng can disperse Qi, which affects the nourishing effect of Rehmannia root. All blood is a product of flesh and blood, and it is advisable to avoid consuming it for fear that it may be too greasy.

3. It is not suitable for patients with typhoid fever.

In the case of typhoid fever, the pathogenic factors enter from outside, so it is better to disperse them rather than tonic them. As stated in the "Shen Nong's Herbal Classics: Records of 100 Kinds of Medicine", "Among the 113 prescriptions in Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", only Rehmannia root is used to treat typhoid fever. In cases of febrile disease, the pathogen enters from the outside, and the most taboo is nourishment and stagnation. Even if tonic is used, it must have the property of dispersing and expanding. Otherwise, the pathogen will move inward, and there will be harm. Nowadays, when people see the symptoms that are slightly related to the virtual signs, they often use Liuwei Decoction, which kills people like hemp, which is really a sigh."

4. People with spleen deficiency, excessive phlegm and qi stagnation should take it with caution

Rehmannia root is sweet in taste and especially nourishing in nature. It should be used with caution by those with spleen deficiency, excessive phlegm and qi stagnation. "Bencao Congxin" says: "Rehmannia root is stagnant in nature. It can block the chest and diaphragm for people with excessive phlegm and qi stagnation, so its use should be cautious." "Bencao Zhengyao" says: "Rehmannia root is stagnant in nature. It can block the chest and diaphragm for people with excessive phlegm and qi stagnation, so its use should be cautious." "Bencao Tongxuan" says: "Rehmannia root is stagnant in nature. It may block the chest and diaphragm for people with excessive phlegm, so it should be stir-fried with ginger juice to control the stagnation. It should also be supplemented with Amomum villosum and Agarwood, both of which can absorb qi and return to the kidney, and can also relieve the stagnation of Rehmannia root. This is the balance of using medicines."

4. Cinnamon replenishes blood during menstruation

At this time, we should take advantage of the situation and use methods to promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation to ensure smooth menstruation. Cinnamon is a warming tonic that can warm the middle and replenish yang, dispel cold and relieve pain, activate blood circulation and unblock menstruation, and promote blood circulation. A nutritious and delicious cinnamon beef can prevent and treat dysmenorrhea!

Cinnamon consumption taboos

1. Cinnamon is hot in nature and is suitable for consumption in cool weather. It is not recommended to eat cinnamon in summer.

2. Because cinnamon is hot in nature and can activate blood circulation, it can easily damage the fetus, so pregnant women must eat it with caution.

3. People with yin deficiency, hyperactivity of fire, or blood heat and bleeding should not eat it.

4. Patients with menorrhagia, pelvic inflammatory disease, sore throat and other febrile diseases should avoid eating it. People with a history of blood loss and spermatorrhea should also fast.

5. Red dates can replenish blood during pregnancy

Red dates nourish blood and improve blood circulation. If expectant mothers eat some red dates, it can not only prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia, but also has a powerful nourishing effect. Peel off the red skin of peanuts, add water and cook until they are 60% cooked. Then cook a few red dates, take out the skin and core of the dates, grind them into a paste together with the peanuts and add them to the porridge.

Taboos on eating red dates

Avoid eating red dates during menstruation. Red dates are sweet, and eating too many of them can easily cause moisture to accumulate in the body, aggravating swelling of the eyes and feet during menstruation.

Diabetics should avoid eating it. Red dates are rich in sugar, and eating them can easily increase blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.

Don't eat too much raw food. Although red dates are a good tonic, eating too many raw dates can easily cause diarrhea and damage the spleen and stomach.

6. Angelica sinensis nourishes blood during lactation

When a new mother develops anemia after childbirth, it will cause insufficient milk secretion. Angelica can nourish blood, regulate menstruation, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. After decocting the juice in water, remove the shells of the cooked eggs, boil them with angelica juice for a while, add some brown sugar and they are ready to eat.

Taboos on the edible compatibility of angelica

1. Excessive dosage

Oral administration of regular doses of Angelica decoction or powder may occasionally cause fatigue and drowsiness, which disappear after stopping the medication. Acupuncture injection of angelica volatile oil can cause patients to experience fever, headache, dry mouth, nausea and other reactions, which can be relieved on their own.

2. Allergic reaction: There are reports that acupuncture injection of compound angelica injection can cause anaphylactic shock.

3. Improper use of the medicine. Angelica sinensis is pungent and fragrant. It is not suitable for people with menorrhagia, bleeding tendency, yin deficiency, internal heat, and loose stools. Improper use of medication will aggravate symptoms such as bleeding and diarrhea.

4. Patients with excessive heat and bleeding should not take this medicine. Those with excessive dampness, fullness in the middle, and loose stools should take it with caution.

7. Donkey-hide gelatin to replenish blood during the confinement period

A small number of new mothers may suffer from worse anemia after giving birth. Donkey-hide gelatin has obvious effects in nourishing blood and replenishing blood, helping new mothers recover their physical condition as quickly as possible. Use a small hammer to smash the donkey-hide gelatin into small pieces, take 15 grams, add 250 ml of boiling water, stir and dissolve, then pour it into a rice pot, add 50 grams of rock sugar and cook it into porridge.

Contraindications of taking donkey-hide gelatin

1. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, newly made donkey-hide gelatin should not be taken. It must be placed in a dry place for more than three years until the fire poison has disappeared before it can be taken.

2. Donkey-hide gelatin is greasy and can easily cause symptoms of indigestion. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution. If the spleen and stomach functions are obstructed, the human body will not be able to digest even the best medicine. Therefore, when taking donkey-hide gelatin, especially those with insufficient spleen and stomach function, it is best to take medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach. This can promote the digestion and absorption of donkey-hide gelatin, and the effect will naturally double.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood deficiency is often accompanied by symptoms of qi deficiency, which are mainly manifested as pale complexion, shortness of breath, laziness to speak, fatigue, and easy sweating. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi and blood can nourish each other, that is, qi can produce blood, and blood can nourish qi. Therefore, replenishing blood while replenishing qi can achieve twice the result with half the effort. It can be used together with qi-replenishing medicines such as astragalus and codonopsis.

Through the introduction of the above content, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the taboos that women need to know about blood replenishment. It is important for women to replenish blood, but they also need to choose the right method and try to avoid wrong ways of replenishing blood and falling into misunderstandings about blood replenishment, so as to truly and effectively replenish blood and maintain beauty.
