Is it better to take gynecological Chinese medicine before or after meals?

Due to their special physiological characteristics, women are more likely to develop gynecological diseases. If such a situation occurs, appropriate methods should be adopted in a timely manner for treatment. Only in this way can the body have a better therapeutic effect and other diseases in the body be prevented from being triggered. Gynecological diseases can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. So is it better to take gynecological Chinese medicine before or after meals? Let us introduce it below.

1. It is best to take Chinese medicine 30-60 minutes after a meal. This can prevent the Chinese medicine ingredients from irritating the gastric mucosa.

2. It is best not to drink tea, coffee, milk or soy milk about one hour before or after taking Chinese medicine, so as to avoid chemical reactions between the Chinese medicine ingredients and the tannins, caffeine and proteins in the tea, which may affect the efficacy. You can drink water.

3. If you feel uncomfortable or have diarrhea after taking Chinese medicine, please contact us in time. If you have a cold or cough, please stop taking the decoction.

4. If you find the taste bitter, you can add some sugar before taking it! Chinese medicine also has side effects. Most Chinese medicines are natural medicines with relatively complex active ingredients, such as bioalkali, saponin, tannic acid, volatile oils, etc.

Since they are medicines, most of them will have side effects to varying degrees. Generally speaking, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are smaller than those of artificially synthesized Western medicine, but some drugs are more toxic, such as red arsenic, white arsenic, mercury, blister beetle, green lady worm, red lady worm, raw garcinia, etc. Those with slightly less toxicity include: white aconite, raw aconite, raw Chuanwu, raw Caowu, raw Pinellia, Strychnos nux vomica, croton, raw Arisaema, raw Gelsemium elegans, wolfsbane, henbane, toad venom, earthworm, Strychnos nux vomica, cloud axis seed, maple eggplant, maple eggplant flower, raw sulfur, croton frost, white radish, poppy shell, etc. When using these medicines, you must be cautious. For example, maple leaf wine can be taken orally to treat rheumatoid arthritis, but excessive doses can often cause poisoning and death. Therefore, toxic Chinese herbal medicines must be taken under the guidance of a physician. Well, why don't poisoning occur when Pinellia, Arisaema, Aconite, Chuanwu, and Aconitum are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions? On the one hand, this is because these medicines are processed. For example, taking raw pinellia orally can cause vomiting. Numbness of lips and tongue. Hoarseness and other side effects, but after raw pinellia is processed with ginger juice, alum, salt, etc., its toxicity is greatly reduced. On the other hand, we must also master the correct method of use. For example, when mercury is used as the main drug to treat skin cancer and cervical cancer, it can only be used externally and is strictly prohibited for oral administration, otherwise mercury poisoning will occur. Although some Chinese herbal medicines are mildly toxic, they can produce serious side effects if used in excessive doses. For example, Akebia has a lactogenic effect. If a large dose (50 grams) of it is cooked with pig's trotters, kidney damage will occur after consumption.

The question of whether gynecological Chinese medicine should be taken before or after meals has been answered in detail above. With this situation, you can make a choice based on your actual situation. If you choose traditional Chinese medicine treatment, you must be careful about what you eat and not eat foods that have antidote effects, such as mung beans. This will not affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine.
