What are the precautions for eating Ejiao?

Ejiao is a valuable and commonly used tonic medicine, which has been praised as a good blood tonic and gynecological medicine since ancient times. In fact, Ejiao not only nourishes blood, protects fetus and regulates menstruation, but also has the effects of anti-cancer and enhancing immunity. He is good at treating various diseases caused by blood deficiency, but he is not a panacea for all diseases. The principle of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine is based on syndrome differentiation, enriching blood and moistening skin. It can also regulate menstruation, protect fetus, strengthen physique, improve sleep, strengthen brain and improve intelligence, delay aging, and help prevent and treat many diseases including cancer. But Ejiao is also a medicine. If taken improperly, it will also have many side effects.

What are the precautions for eating Ejiao?

1, Dong 'e Ejiao's main function is to nourish yin and replenish blood, so it is very suitable for people with yin deficiency and blood deficiency or weak health care, but not for people with qi deficiency and yang deficiency.

2. If you feel dry mouth, bleeding gums, dry nasal cavity, hot sore, dry eyes, redness and increase of canthus, or even symptoms such as dry throat, constipation or bloody stool after taking it, it may be because Ejiao is new and warm, so you can buy Ejiao in advance and take it later.

3. Those with yin deficiency and excessive fire should avoid it. Besides, they should be boiled in boiling water. Because Ejiao is greasy, it hinders the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. Therefore, people with full stomach, indigestion and poor diet should use Ejiao with caution.

4. When you have a cold, cough, diarrhea or menstrual cramps, you should stop taking Ejiao and continue to take it after you have recovered or stopped taking it. In addition, according to traditional habits, you must avoid eating during taking Ejiao. Don't eat radish or garlic for two hours before and after, otherwise it will reduce the efficacy of Ejiao, and it is not appropriate to drink strong tea.

5. If you observe sores on your mouth and tongue, yellow urine and yellow tongue coating, it means that the yang is strong and the internal heat is very heavy. You should take Ejiao after the fire is extinguished.

6. Never take it during menstruation. If you take Ejiao during menstruation, it will cause menorrhagia or menstrual disorder in the future. If you replenish blood and qi and nourish your body, you must wait until menstruation is completely over.

7. Because the eggs of Ejiao have antigenicity, people who suffer from skin allergic diseases such as urticaria and are in a highly sensitive state for a long time are prone to allergies after taking them; It can also activate antibodies. Patients with autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus should use it with caution.

8. While taking Ejiao products, be careful not to eat beef and mutton and greasy food at the same time, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

9. Spleen and stomach weakness, vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal distension and loose stool, and cough with excessive phlegm should be used with caution. Because Ejiao is greasy, people with poor digestive system or gastrointestinal diseases need to eat less or not.

10. When you have a cold or menstrual cramps, you should stop using Ejiao, and continue to take it after recovery or withdrawal.

1 1. Pregnant women, patients with hypertension and diabetes should take it under the guidance of a doctor.

Side effects and treatment of Dong 'e Ejiao.

Dong 'e Ejiao is greasy. People with weak spleen and stomach should not eat too greasy and spicy during taking it, and eat less indigestible things. It is best to eat appetizing vegetables. Don't eat cold drinks and food immediately after taking it. If it is combined with drugs that regulate the spleen and stomach, it can not only avoid discomfort symptoms, but also promote the digestion and absorption of Ejiao, and the effect can be doubled. Atractylodis Rhizoma, Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae can be decocted and taken with Colla Corii Asini. You can also refer to some of the super-classic folk dietotherapy remedies for strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach. In addition, although hawthorn can promote digestion and can be eaten with Ejiao, symptoms such as sticky mouth and thick tongue coating may occur. If you are a person who is afraid of cold, you can add a little longan when you eat Ejiao. People with kidney deficiency can also add a little medlar.

Eating Dong 'e Ejiao to get angry may also be due to yin deficiency constitution. For people with yin deficiency, yang fire is relatively strong, burning body fluid, which makes people feel dry mouth and sore throat, but it does not necessarily have breath and gums. This kind of heat is called "yin heat" or "deficiency heat". If people with yin deficiency eat aphrodisiac food, such as donkey-hide gelatin, and the yang fire is too strong, their body functions will be in a state of excessive excitement and activity, and they will get angry. In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as low fever, fever in hands and feet, upset and insomnia. People with this physique can use 60 grams of black beans (that is, black beans, which have the functions of nourishing yin, benefiting water and nourishing liver and kidney) to boil soup until the beans are rotten, and then take the soup and stewed donkey-hide gelatin.

People with qi deficiency can take it with codonopsis pilosula or American ginseng, and the effect is better. The manifestations of qi deficiency are shallow breathing, low voice, tiredness and laziness, sweating when moving, loss of appetite, and pale tongue, which indicate poor general spirit and physical strength. As a general tonic, Ejiao should be taken on an empty stomach. Ejiao, as a decoction, should be drunk hot, not cold. Colla Corii Asini is used as ointment and should be dissolved in boiling water. When Ejiao is used as medicine, it should be taken with warm wine or warm water.

In addition, Niu Pijiao and miscellaneous leather gum are often used as donkey-hide gelatin in the market, but they are hard and brittle, and smell of sesame oil after heating. These fake and shoddy products are sticky and not easy to break, and they give off a strong fishy smell or peculiar smell when heated.

In addition, don't eat rhubarb while eating Dong 'e Ejiao. In Chinese medicine, rhubarb is similar to donkey-hide gelatin.
