Ms. Wang’s husband, Li Shifu, is in his early fifties. He is usually a contractor. He goes out early and comes back late. He works hard in the construction site all the year round. Near the end of the year, she deliberately stewed chicken soup and let him make up for it. On the second day after eating delicious food, Li Shifu felt bitter mouth and poor stool.
After three days of continuous constipation, he used too much force when going to the toilet. Hemorrhoids that had grown for half a year suddenly bled heavily and were rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. Fortunately, emergency doctors stopped bleeding in time, which did not cause more serious consequences.
Ms. Wang was frightened by the present situation. She couldn’t figure out how it happened suddenly.
Later, I remembered that the problem may be ginseng in chicken soup!
Distressed about her husband, she deliberately put a red ginseng in the soup. The doctor said: Li Shifu usually has dry stool and sticky tongue coating. Six months ago, a physical examination also found a lot of hemorrhoids, belonging to damp heat constitution, which is not suitable for taking ginseng as a tonic. Hemorrhoid bleeding is actually a manifestation of "purging fire".
The Chinese New Year is coming, and many people often want to buy some tonic for their families to replenish their health.
Ginseng medicinal materials-are our most common supplements. But in fact, there are very few people who will eat ginseng. Today, Xiaobian will give you a good talk.
These ten kinds of people are not suitable for eating ginseng!
After all, ginseng is a medicine, not a food suitable for everyone. Eating it indiscriminately can not only make up the body, but also often has many side effects. These ten categories of people should pay special attention to it.
1. People poisoned by sores and ulcers
Often boils and festers, with toxic heat inside. Taking ginseng is beneficial and harmless. Li Shifu, who drank red ginseng chicken soup in the above article, is a typical negative case.
Second, a paunchy person
These people are obese and slow-moving. For this reason, they often hope to supplement their strength by taking them. But in fact, people’s appetite is strong and their weight continues to increase, which makes them feel heavier, drowsy, dizzy and dizzy.
Third, the red-faced person
Most of these people have high blood pressure, and their blood cholesterol and blood lipids are also high. After taking ginseng, they are prone to symptoms such as facial fire, headache, red eyes, insomnia, dreaminess, epistaxis and rising blood pressure.
Fourth, people with yellow and thick tongue coating
Tongue coating is a mirror of digestive tract. Normal tongue coating is thin and white and wet. If there is a thick or yellow or white tongue coating on the tongue surface, it means indigestion or damp heat in the body. Re-taking the meeting will cause loss of appetite and bloating, which will seriously aggravate the condition and affect the therapeutic effect.
5. People with purple tongue.
Chinese medicine believes that the purple and dark tongue is a sign of qi and blood stasis. Ginseng does not have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but taking a large amount of ginseng will lead to stagnation of qi and blood, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, irritability and other symptoms.
Six, bloated people
Ginseng has obvious antidiuretic effect, so people who are usually in good health and suddenly swollen, or who often have swollen feet, should not take ginseng.
Seven, fever.
During the epidemic period, the cause of fever must be identified first and treated in time, and it should not be blindly tonic because of physical weakness. Improper consumption will complicate the condition and delay the treatment.
Eight, people with chest tightness and bloating
Attending the meeting aggravates the symptoms, making your abdominal distension like a drum, and you want to burp but you can’t.
Nine, people with red throat and sore throat
These people are either acute laryngitis, or the constitution belongs to heat and fire, and the ginseng is warm. After taking it, it is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, which often causes sore throat.
Ten, disease-free and healthy people
Taking too much ginseng is not only unhealthy, but will lead to diseases. Especially for infants, children, and hot-blooded young people, you should not blindly take it.
