Nourishing Chinese herbs should be eaten on an empty stomach

The effectiveness of Chinese medicine in treating diseases is not only related to the quality of the doctor's prescriptions, preparations, traditional Chinese medicine itself and preparation, but also related to the time taken. According to the different nature of medicine and illness, a reasonable choice of medication time can give full play to the therapeutic effect of the drug. When Huang Di Nei Jing talked about the pathological changes of the human body, it summed up the theory of “Dai Hui, Chun An, Xi Jia, and Ye Xia”—the “four-hour prescription” theory. Many patients are accustomed to taking medications before going to bed. They do not know that the toxicity and adverse reactions of some drugs have a close relationship with the body's biological rhythm. They are not suitable for bedtime use, such as nourishing Chinese medicine.

Nourishing Chinese herbs (tonics, nourishing yin, etc.) should usually be taken on an empty stomach (before the morning before eating) or on a half-fasting (1 hour before meals). Nourishing Chinese medicine is generally used for physically weak people. Most of the physically weak are weak in the spleen and stomach, and there is insufficient yin and yang in the blood and blood. The absorption of drugs to exert efficacy is dependent on spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach "weak and bitter, hi incense and evil spirits, hi dry and evil, hi and evil stagnation."

The tonic drug is warm and sweet, and the fasting service is not affected by food. It is not easy to form stagnation in the stomach and reduce the burden on the stomach. The active ingredients in the drug are fully absorbed, and the deficiency of yin and yang in the human body is supplemented in time, and it does not affect the normal diet. . Such as Qi Qi Yang Bu spleen Buzhong Yiqi Decoction for patients with deficiency syndrome, due to the spleen and stomach has been empty, anorexia, if the post-prandial service is easy to cause nausea, abdominal distension, affect the efficacy. The Ziyin Yaodi Wan pills, the drug partial sloppy, easy to affect the function of the spleen and stomach, taking before meals to avoid mixing with food, tired of the stomach, does not affect the full absorption of active ingredients, play its role in Zigan Bushen Yiyin.
