What are the side effects of taking Chinese medicine for a long time Do taking Chinese medicine have

Is long-term use of Chinese medicine harmful to the stomach?

In people's traditional beliefs, it has always been believed that "Chinese medicine has no adverse reactions and can be taken for a long time". It is true that traditional Chinese medicine, which has been used for thousands of years, is our national treasure, and it has indeed relieved the suffering of many patients and done many things that Western medicine and Western medicine cannot do, which cannot be denied. However, long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine can also cause damage to the gastric mucosa, which has attracted the attention of more and more specialists.

It has been reported in the literature that after taking Chinese medicine continuously for 3 months, patients will have symptoms such as poor appetite, abdominal distention, epigastric discomfort, and vague pain. Gastroscopy was performed on patients who had been taking Chinese medicine for a long time, and it was found that the patient's gastric mucosa was thinned and the pathology showed chronic inflammatory changes.

Because the composition of traditional Chinese medicine is complex, especially the mixing of multiple traditional Chinese medicines, it is difficult to distinguish its active ingredients and adverse reaction components, so the mechanism of gastric mucosal changes is still unclear. According to the analysis, it may be that some components of traditional Chinese medicine neutralize the mucus in the gastric cavity and destroy the mucosal barrier, or it may be that some traditional Chinese medicine has a direct destructive effect on the gastric mucosa.

Because the variety and dosage of each prescription are very different, it is very difficult to determine what the cause is. In fact, traditional medicine has long recorded that Chinese medicine can hurt the stomach: "Bitter cold medicine can relieve fire, but it can also hurt the spleen and stomach for a long time."

Therefore, the correct attitude towards TCM is that it should be used under the guidance of a regular TCM physician, and the course of treatment should not be too long. In particular, the dosage of certain traditional Chinese medicines, such as asaroxin, parsnip, skullcap, cork, borneol, toad, white flower snake tongue, etc., should not be too large.

When abdominal distention, abdominal pain, poor appetite and other conditions occur after taking Chinese medicine for a long time, it is best to stop taking it for a period of time, and patients with conditions should go to a specialized hospital for examination.

Traditional Chinese medicine has not undergone strict drug testing and drug analysis, and I think it is better to use it with caution if it is very medicated.

It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and it's better to be careful.

Taking traditional Chinese medicine is ***, and it is a three-point poison, so whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there will be a certain amount of ***. Especially in the case of certain diseases, the bias of certain drugs will lead to some specific diseases in the human body, such as gentian laxative liver pills used for liver and gallbladder dampness and heat, and liver meridian real fire. Among them, gentian grass has a certain damaging effect on the liver function and kidney function of the human body, and long-term use may also lead to kidney failure.

Some Chinese medicines are bitter and cold, and if we eat them for a long time, it is easy to damage our spleen, stomach, liver and kidney functions. Therefore, Chinese medicine must be taken according to the course of treatment under the guidance of a professional TCM practitioner. Taking too much of any medication will have some ***, and Chinese medicine is no exception.

If you eat too much Chinese medicine, some ingredients may accumulate in the body and cause harm to the body. Because some drugs contain certain heavy metals, such as cinnabar, realgar, etc., it is not suitable to take a large amount, and some traditional Chinese medicines are also toxic, such as aconitum contains aconitine, which can cause myocardial infarction, mouth and tongue sores if eaten too much. Therefore, when taking Chinese medicine, you must pay attention to the dosage of medicine, not overdose, take Chinese medicine in moderation, generally very small, if you overdose, there will definitely be some.

Compared with Western medicine, what are the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine**?

First of all, traditional Chinese medicine will formulate a plan according to the patient's physique when the disease is in the first place, such as whether he is qi deficiency or spleen deficiency, and will focus on adjustment when dispensing medicine, while Western medicine is a pill or an injection, which is unified, which can be understood as a pure handmade product, and a mechanized production.

Secondly, many traditional Chinese medicines are homologous to medicine and food, that is, it can be used as medicine to treat diseases, and can also be eaten as food, such as wolfberry and red dates, which are common medicines, but Western medicine is generally more drugs.

In addition, when traditional Chinese medicine is in the first disease, the effect may not necessarily be faster than that of Western medicine, but the process will be relatively gentle, relatively rare, and there are many patients with poor physique, so it is more appropriate to use traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning.

Whether it is Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to master the appropriate dosage, in fact, only when there is a problem with the body needs to take medicine, and no one is good to take medicine. It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and taking medicine for a long time must also have a certain effect on the body, even if it is traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine has the following aspects:

1. Some traditional Chinese medicines themselves are toxic, such as aconite, Shou Wu have certain toxicity, Guan Mutong causes kidney toxicity, all of which have been clinically reported, and now there is no need for particularly obvious toxic drugs, but sometimes short-term use has a certain effect, because the time is particularly short, there is no accumulation effect, and the toxicity is not too obvious;

2. The drug itself does not have *** or is a normal drug for some diseases, but for a certain patient, it may be ***, it is a hot disease, and if you take hot drugs, there will definitely be ***;

3. Some drugs will have other effects at the same time as the disease, such as laryngitis, sore throat, and sore throat may use drugs to clear heat and detoxify, these drugs may cause diarrhea, and heat clearing and detoxification may cause diarrhea.

In recent years, there have been more and more studies on traditional Chinese medicine, especially in foreign countries on cell activity, heavy metals, etc., which have been studied more systematically, and now we are paying more attention. Do not take drugs for a long time, especially for toxic drugs, do not take them for a long time, take them for a short time, unless you are a few people, and the general problem is not big. There are great differences between individuals in traditional Chinese medicine, some patients may have no problem after taking the medicine, and there is no problem after taking the medicine, and some patients may have a reaction after eating more than a dozen pairs, which varies from person to person.

It is Chinese medicine that must be good for the body, and taking any medicine is good for the body, after all, it is a medicine that is poisonous, so sometimes it is necessary to insist on exercising, protect your body, and avoid taking medicine, so that the residual blockage in his body will be a little less, so I think it should still be necessary to live.

It is a drug that is three parts poisonous, and any drug has ***, which will increase the burden on the human internal organs (such as liver and kidney), and long-term use will cause unpredictable harm.

The need is suitable for people, places, times and medicines.

Any drug may have a certain effect on the body, but it does not matter if you apply the drug under the guidance of the doctor, closely observe the changes in all aspects of the body, and contact the doctor if you have any questions.

Any drug is somewhat ***.
