        In today's gradually into a well-off life, people are paying more attention to health keeping in good health, more and more attention to the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and use. But everyone in the use of traditional Chinese medicine, don't ignore a important concept, is the compatibility "taboo". 
 
        The compatibility of Chinese traditional medicine taboo, it is to point to in the compound, some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) should not be used match each other. As early as in the cases by sequence in the description of the "seven emotions" and said, "don't use phase evil, on the contrary," it has long been taboo basis of compatibility of medicines. Among them, the evil, on the contrary, are advised not to compatibility, the kinds of representative which is the "against". Evil and contrary to the consequences of different: evil compatibility is lowering some properties of the drug, some medicines by reducing its certain performance can reduce or eliminate the side effects and more conducive to disease, is a kind of can take advantage of the compatibility relations, so is not an absolute taboo; And instead compatibility, it may endanger the patient's health, even life-threatening, so instead of drug ban compatibility application in principle, the doctor in the process of prescription will pay attention to avoid such medicines. 
 
        Little, however, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with our three meals a day will also have the taboo! Nowadays people often say "medicine food homology", some food is often can be used as a drug, some drugs and food. Therefore, the food itself also has four mixed gas, food and food, the food and drug also have match between taboo. 
 
        Should not be when taking Chinese traditional medicine to eat raw turnip (except to facilitating phlegm cough medicine), because of radish xiaoshi, broken gas effect. Especially taking the tonic kind of Chinese medicine such as ginseng, astragalus root, radish will weaken the tonic effect of ginseng, astragalus membranaceus, reduce the effectiveness. 
 
        Generally don't drink strong tea when taking Chinese traditional medicine, because of certain substances in tea raises some effective ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to absorb, especially when taking "gelatin"; If is really care for tea, can drink some green tea, less time and it is best to drink tea in three hours. 
 
        When taking Chinese traditional medicine inside qing dynasty, unfavorable eat green, garlic, pepper, mutton, dog meat, such as hot food. Taking temperature classes in medicine in the treatment of cold syndrome ", should be fasting cold food. In addition: liquorice, rhizoma coptidis, radix platycodi, ebony avoid pork, mint cream turtle meat, poria cocos avoid is vinegar, turtle fish avoid amaranth, chicken avoid eel, honey raw onion, lucid asparagus avoid carp, herba schizonepetae avoid fish, crabs, fugu, donkey meat, atractylodes avoid garlic, peach, plum, etc. And all of these sums up, in fact also belong to the traditional Chinese medicine theory of compatibility "taboo". 
 
        "Take medicine not to avoid, bad the doctor hand", the old saying is the word of medicine do not mess with food, if he does not heed, light influence drug effect, or produce toxic or cause discomfort. Doctor can control drug compatibility "18", "19", but he cannot control our own family eating behavior, therefore in the treatment with traditional Chinese medicine disease, regulate the body, or health care, should pay special attention to medicine, food taboos to avoid bad match, after all, if only because the meal and appear "medicine is invalid" or "treat the injury body", it is really a pyrrhic victory.
