服用中药 – 忌口

1. 每天服药两次 根据医生的指示,如果没有给出具体的指示,通常会服用两次汤药: 早餐前:早餐前30~60分钟服药。 (通过这样做,它可以让草药更快地向下移动到胃和肠,因此吸收更快。该药物将与肠道和胃上的粘液有更多的相互作用,因为它会更有效。) 晚餐后:晚餐后60~90分钟服药。 如果您忘记或无法服用一次药物,请下次准备两包以提前准备。 2.药物温度 该药可在30°C~50°C的温度下饮用。请不要在室温下或直接从冰箱中取出喝药。 您可以通过以下方式预热药物: 将药物含包装浸入热水中,直到整个温热。包装由特殊材料制成,设计用于耐高温,因此可以放入热水中。 微波炉20-30s,塑料包装设计为耐高温,因此微波炉安全。 3.服药期间不吃什么/不做什么: 服药时,请避免食用生的、冷的、粘稠的或辛辣的食物。 请避免在服药期间吃海鲜类食物,海鲜类食物属于腥性物质,这会与药物相互影响,使药物的治疗效果大打折扣。 请不要喝任何乳制品,服药前后1小时内不要喝咖啡、茶或豆浆。 尽量避免饮用软饮料,并将饮用水量限制在1.5升/天,包括草药(总共约350毫升)。 如果您有水肿,请避免咸味食物。 尽量吃温热的食物,不要直接从冰箱里吃食物/饮料;所有食物都最好在高于室温的情况下摄入。 请不要吃太多胡萝卜和萝卜,因为它可能会抵消药物的效果。 在女性月经期间,避免任何进入口腔的冷物,避免饮酒。 避免甜瓜类水果(例如西瓜,岩瓜,黄瓜等),尽量避免冷沙拉(生的),或可在沙拉中加入香料(葱或姜等)以平衡膳食的冷热性质 根据个人情况,从业者可能会给出不同的建议,请按照上述建议的说明进行操作。 药物中不添加任何糖或人工甜味剂。 请不要在药物中放糖。白糖本质上是冷的,会抵消药物中的一些作用。 不要加入原糖红糖。原糖/红糖含有更高水平的铁和钙,这将与药物中的蛋白质结合并产生影响。 药物有时会利用苦味来促进味蕾并产生有助于消化的酶,因此如果添加糖,它将失去这种效果。 如果太苦,可以在服药后吃一些糖,如果太苦而无法接受,可以为孩子添加一些蜂蜜。 服药期间身体可能出现的变化: 在治疗期间可能会出现不同的迹象,我们将其称为好转反应,这些反应包括: 排便松弛/或频繁排便:这表明您的内在热量已排出体外,体内积累的所有毒性都可以通过肠道传递。排便后,您应该感觉胃部和肠道区域较轻,吸斑感减少(如果您曾经有过的话)。 面部/或四肢肿胀减少:如果您醒来并看到您的脸变小或水肿减轻。这意味着积聚在细胞和淋巴系统中的水分正在逐渐被清除。 气体向上流动/频繁放屁:这表明您体内先前的阻塞气现在正试图从您身上移出(任何阻塞的气/血液都会导致疼痛),有时可能是错误的方向(向上),如果您感觉到这一点,请咨询您的医生,以便下一次药物可以帮助您将气体向下移动。
