What are the taboos for taking Chinese medicine?

First, incompatibility and opposite compatibility of seven emotions in TCM are taboo. The contents of anti-drug in ancient books are inconsistent. The eighteen evils summarized in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties are recognized by later generations and have great influence: sulfur, sulfur, arsenic, dandelion, croton, Petunia, clove, turmeric, aconite, rhinoceros horn, fenugreek, guanguiwei stone fat and ginseng, trogopterori. Eighteen anti-licorice, anti-kansui, spurge, seaweed and Daphne genkwa; Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, Fructus Trichosanthis, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Radix Ampelopsis and Rhizoma Bletillae; Veratrum nigrum, Radix Adenophorae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix Scrophulariae, Asari and Radix Paeoniae. Among them, the fear of the nineteen fears is different from the fear of one of the seven emotions. Some drugs with 19 fears and 18 preventions are different from the actual application, which have been discussed by doctors in past dynasties, proving that some drugs can still be used together based on ancient prescriptions. For example, croton in induction pills is used with Petunia; Gansui Banxia decoction is juxtaposed with licorice. Licorice and seaweed jade pot soup are used together. Shixiang Huanshen Pill uses cloves and turmeric together. Wu Dan is used together with rhinoceros horn. There is not much research work in this field in modern times. Some experimental studies show that the toxicity of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch and Kansui kansui kansui mainly depends on the dosage ratio of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. If the dose of licorice is equal to or greater than that of kansui, the toxicity is greater. Another example is that Fritillaria and Pinellia ternata are compatible with aconite respectively, and the toxicity is not significantly enhanced. However, the combination of asarum and veratrum can lead to poisoning and death of experimental animals. Because we want to study the 19 fears and 18 contradictions, we need further experiments and observations to study their mechanisms. Therefore, we should take a cautious attitude at present. Generally speaking, for some of these drugs, if there is not enough basic and application experience, we should avoid blind cooperation. Second, contraindications to pregnancy Some drugs have the side effects of damaging the fetus and causing abortion, and should be used as contraindications to pregnancy. According to the degree of damage to the fetus, drugs can generally be divided into two categories: forbidden and cautious use. Most of the prohibited drugs are drugs with strong toxicity or medicinal properties, such as croton, morning glory, Euphorbia, Mylabris, Phytolacca acinosa, musk, Rhizoma Sparganii, Rhizoma Curcumae, leech, tabanus and so on. Cautious use of drugs, such as peach kernel, safflower, rhubarb, immature bitter orange, aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, etc. Do not use all illegal drugs; Careful use of drugs can be used according to the condition of pregnant women. But in the absence of special needs, it should be avoided as much as possible to prevent accidents. Third, dietary taboos when taking medicine are called food taboos, which is also commonly known as taboos. In ancient literature, there are often mountain taboos; Rehmannia glutinosa and Polygonum multiflorum avoid onions, garlic and radishes; Mint avoids turtle meat; Poria cocos is jealous of vinegar; Carapax Trionycis avoids amaranth, and honey turns into onion. This shows that certain foods can't be eaten with certain drugs. In addition, due to the disease, all foods that are difficult to digest and have special irritation, such as cold, sticky and fishy, should be avoided as needed. Patients with high fever should also avoid oil.
