A lot of people have heard the word "hair", but what is it? Only a vague impression. People who are allergic can't eat seafood, eat lychees, and eat mutton. The widely circulated "hair content", since ancient times, people in life, through the observation of the relationship between diet and disease and summarizes some simple understanding, but opinions vary, different people understand the difference is very big.

Modern traditional Chinese medicine to induce new disease, increase the old disease all the factors, such as diet, drugs, abnormal climate, toxicology, environmental factors are known as "hair content", "prohibited" refers to from the mouth and into the taboo, such as cold, hot, XingShan kind of food. Everyone should have the feeling: the cold and fever, natural have no appetite, do not want to eat greasy, barbecue, this is the most easy to experience "taboo", because "eat uncomfortable".

Whether a kind of food is "hair", should not avoid the mouth, is different for the individual. Chinese medicine pays attention to the unity of nature and man, and the unity of man and nature. When the characteristics of food and medicine are in the same time as constitution and disease, it will promote and aggravate the original condition. Such as "cold constitution", cold resistance of the product is "hair content" -- cold drink cold cold, cold melon, qingrejiedu class of radix scutellariae, gardenia, rhubarb medicinal cold, for cold, spleen and stomach weak constitution is hair content, or may induce the abdominal pain diarrhea, the influence function of intestines and stomach, adverse to the lack of sun be the spirit of old person also.

On the other hand, to the "constitution" the heat, heat resistance of the product is "hair content", ginger, pepper, Chinese prickly ash, mutton, dog meat, dry pot, hot pot, and deer antler of warming Yang, with pieces and slant warm, helps the sun heat the characteristics of the sore furuncle carbuncle swollen, sore throats, such as hot disease, Yin deficiency with internal physical disadvantage.

In addition, shrimp, crab, seafood XingShan SAO foods, such as feeding powder, go up, traditional Chinese medicine are considered to be hair content, think go up or diffusion of the pathogenicity of guide, for malignant tumor, febrile disease, hemorrhagic disease, chronic skin disease, allergic disease to be taboo.

In the same way, it may be beneficial for some people to be food and drug for others. Like the Yang hot product to the cold physique, the four seasons afraid of cold easy to catch cold people, there is the work of wen Yang. It is not objective and inappropriate to know that a lot of healthy and restorative diets are all "bogey".

Nowadays, modern medicine is a disease that requires food, and is gradually added to the taboo. Like the high incidence of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, obese people need to avoid high-fat, high-sugar diet; Gout should avoid seafood, animal offal, because purine content is high; Chronic kidney disease, chronic heart function not all the mouth too "salty" diet.

Not everyone, any disease need to avoid the mouth, also want to differentiate treatment, treat different individual to carry on the dialectic of traditional Chinese medicine taboo. The following situations are the key targets of Chinese medicine taboos: allergic constitution and allergic diseases; People who have a cold stomach; It is easy to produce hot, hot, and hot diseases. Hemorrhagic disease, external wind fever. For the blood tumor, post-chemotherapy immune deficiency patients, there is serious gastrointestinal function injury, the diet, light, clean "taboo" requirements are stricter.
