"Hair" is widely spread among the people, and Chinese medicine also attaches great importance to the relationship between hair and diseases. The main taboo is to avoid hair. According to legend, after Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, he stepped up the extermination of ministers who made great contributions to the founding of the country. Marshal Xu Da suffers from "hairy back" and is most afraid of eating geese. It is easy to get sores when he is hot. Zhu Yuanzhang gave Xu a fat goose with ulterior motives. Xu Da knows its malice, but dare not disobey your orders, so he has to eat it on the spot. Soon, Xu Da's "Maobei" spread and died. It shows that the prognosis of the disease has a certain relationship with food.
Qin Bowei, a famous doctor, said in "Dietary Problems for Patients by Traditional Chinese Medicine": "All shepherd's purse, leek, mushroom and cauliflower that can cause dry mouth, red eyes, swollen teeth and constipation can cause fever, commonly known as hair."
Hair growth essentially means that eating a certain food will cause the recurrence of old diseases and the weight gain of new diseases. Hair has a wide range, sometimes meat and food are seen. Generally according to the performance of the hair can be divided into six categories:
One is fever, such as onion, ginger, pepper, pepper, mutton, dog meat and so on.
Second, things that cause wind, such as shrimp, crabs, mushrooms, geese, eggs, buds, etc.
Third, hot and humid things, such as caramel, glutinous rice, pork and so on. Fourth, cold products, such as watermelon, pear, persimmon and other cold products; Fifth, things that stimulate blood, such as sea pepper, arrowhead, pepper and so on. Sixth, things that stagnate qi, such as mutton, lotus seeds, Euryale ferox and so on.
The treatment of TCM can not be separated from syndrome differentiation, and taboos can not be ignored. For example, if the disease belongs to cold syndrome, the symptoms are constitution deficiency and cold, thin stool, stomachache and fever, cold limbs and so on. You should avoid eating cold food, such as watermelon, Sydney and bananas. People with redness, fever, hemorrhoid bleeding, insomnia and upset caused by heat syndrome should not eat ginger, pepper and garlic oil. Acute hepatitis, the patient's tongue coating is thick and greasy, the chest and abdomen are full, the appetite is poor, and the urine is Huang Chi. This is a sign of damp heat. Should avoid eating greasy, spicy food, nourishing hot products; Patients with abdominal distension should avoid eating beans, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Coronary heart disease, hypertension and hyperlipidemia should avoid fat, cream, animal viscera, fish eggs and bone marrow. Those who are prone to sores and boils are mostly caused by heat and poison, and they should not eat all greasy and spicy products.
According to folk experience, mutton, pig's head, pig's trotters and goose are recognized as "hair products". Among them, mutton is hot, cold and heat come one after another, or the body is full of fire, or the fever begins to recover, so it is not suitable for eating, otherwise the old disease will recur. About Goose "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Goose, with strong flavor, is prone to wind and sores." All skin diseases, allergic diseases, fever, etc. should be avoided. Pig's trotters have the effect of nourishing milk and sores, but they should not be taken at the beginning of sores.
