Ore is also a good medicine.

How can stones be used as medicine? "as long as you put the mineral medicine half an hour in advance when frying the medicine." Huang Haichang, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner of Nanning Yichang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., said that in general, family decoction can choose to break the stone. If it is used as a dietary therapy, the stone can be directly put into the soup and stewed. Gypsum and keel are mineral medicines commonly used by citizens. What is the story of these stone medicines? What are the precautions for taking it?

Gypsum

Put it in hot pot to prevent it from getting hot. "

So, is the plaster mentioned by traditional Chinese and western medicine the same? In fact, the two were born on the same root, but the gypsum used for fractures is forged and is cooked gypsum, while the gypsum in traditional Chinese medicine is raw gypsum, so it is OK to remove impurities and soil on the basis of the raw materials. So what is the effect of raw gypsum and how to use it in daily life?

Almost every big pharmacy has this kind of medicine, and citizens can also use it for dietotherapy in their daily life. For example, when playing hot pot, if you are afraid of getting hot, you can throw a piece of gypsum into the hot pot, which can reduce the fire, mainly because gypsum is the object of Greater Cold.

Although gypsum is easy to use, there are also some points for attention. People with spleen and stomach deficiency cold and blood deficiency and yin deficiency fever are not suitable to take, because female blood deficiency and yin deficiency are more common, so female consumers should consult a doctor before taking them. If it is taken internally, the dosage is generally controlled within one or two, and if it is taken too much, it will "turn Jin Dan into dove poison."

Dragonbone

A fossil that calms the mind.

The fossils of ancient mammalian animals, rhinos, three-toed horses and other teeth are called keels, which are not unfamiliar to many people. two years ago, in a pharmacy in Beijing, a pharmacist found some handwriting on the keel when taking medicine, but it turned out to be oracle bone inscription. Keel is a common clinical drug, internal administration can calm the mind, external application can clot blood to stop collapse. "in western medicine, keel can promote blood coagulation, reduce vascular wall permeability and inhibit skeletal muscle excitement." Huang Haichang said that some upset people, or insomnia, dreamy and mental patients, are suitable to take keel for emotional relief.

However, the keel can be divided into raw keel and cooked keel, and the emphasis of their functions is different. Raw keel is the raw material washed and dried in the sun, and then the final research can be done, focusing on the role of converging floating qi, can calm the mind, and is good at treating symptoms such as vertigo, insomnia and dreaminess, such as using raw keel to treat insanity in Treatise on febrile Diseases. Cinnamon twig and licorice keel Oyster soup is used to treat palpitation. The cooked keel is a calcined raw keel, good at collecting sweat and stopping bleeding, and is often used to treat symptoms such as hematemesis, metrorrhagia, excessive leucorrhea, enuresis and so on.

How to take mineral medicine

Unlike the mineral composition in chemistry, mineral medicine in traditional Chinese medicine is a real stone or fossil. But how do you eat these stones? Experts say that many pharmacies now have flour service, or when drugstores sell mineral medicines, they have beaten mineral medicines into powder. When the citizen is decocting the medicine, the powder is decocted, or the stone is fried directly. Compared with other drugs, the stone will be broken if it is heated half an hour to an hour in advance. If you think the taste of mineral medicine is not good, you can control the dosage, or when taking medicine soup, don't shake it and eat less dregs inside. Are there any side effects of mineral medicine?

It is understood that there are many kinds of mineral drugs, and several of our common drugs are relatively safe, but if they are mineral drugs containing arsenic, mercury and lead, you should be careful when using them, such as arsenic-containing drugs including arsenite, arsenic, red sail and realgar; mercury-containing drugs, including cinnabar and light powder, are toxic to the kidneys and can cause acute and chronic renal damage and kidney failure, so they need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
