First, is it correct to take Chinese medicine? Don't be silly. Chinese medicine and herbs.
During the consultation, patients often ask, "Will taking Chinese medicine for a long time hurt the liver and kidney?" , "listen to the report that a senior in the entertainment circle ate Chinese medicine of unknown origin and hurt himself? And so on, in these puzzles and problems, the most critical core problem is: misunderstanding of Chinese medicine and medical medication education.
Traditional Chinese medicine has clear standards and needs strict examination and approval. After diagnosis, it is prescribed by qualified professional doctors for treatment. At present, the scientific Chinese medicines and decocted Chinese medicinal materials opened in hospitals and clinics approved by * * * are all Chinese medicinal preparations made by pharmaceutical factories that meet the standards for the establishment of pharmaceutical factories under the guidance of the theory of Chinese medicine, according to the prescriptions with curative effects selected and published by the central health authorities, and according to the quality control standards for Chinese medicinal preparations, and they have passed the inspection and are licensed according to law.

However, herbal medicine or folk medicine is not under the guidance of orthodox ancient books and Chinese medicine theory, and most of them are misinformed. In the folk, it is difficult to confirm the curative effect without empirical medical evidence, and what is worse is that it has not been processed by regular pharmaceutical factories according to standards and norms, and has undergone strict inspection and audit, so that it has not been sold in the folk norms.
So, does it contain heavy metals? Will it hurt if you eat it? Before people eat medicine, they must first know whether they are really "Chinese medicine".
The concepts of "treatment" and "nourishment" have a long history, and whether people really practice Chinese medicine or not, the conceptual theory of Chinese medicine is also related to our living habits, but in clinic, whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage is often a concern of professional doctors.

In the clinical process, I feel that there are great myths and mistakes in this concept among the people, and doctors are committed to educating people about the concepts of "treatment" and "maintenance". People are often confused about their roles, because Chinese medicine is very popular among the people, and everyone pretends to be a doctor to treat themselves. However, the relationship between doctors and patients should be cooperation and mutual trust, "treatment" should be given to professional doctors, and doctors' instructions and health education should be the "maintenance" of homework after returning home. Only in this way can the correct division of labor and cooperation be achieved, and the final consensus between doctors and patients can be "healthy". But what people often encounter is that people don't take medicine according to the doctor's advice, take medicine prescribed by doctors and buy herbs of unknown origin. How can we keep them from hurting themselves for a long time?
Therefore, people should not just listen to one-sided information and panic, but should seriously face up to their own medical concepts and behaviors, just as the food safety department has repeatedly advocated the principle of "stop, watch, listen, choose and use", stop improper drug purchase and use, seek qualified professional doctors for medical treatment, consult professional doctors, choose carefully among the dazzling health care products in the market, and don't take unnecessary or unknown products indiscriminately.
