脾胃虚寒肝火旺能吃蒲公英吗
Disease description:
My eyes have been red lately, accompanied by indigestion symptoms. The doctor said it's caused by spleen and stomach deficiency-cold with excessive liver fire. Can I take dandelion for spleen and stomach deficiency-cold with excessive liver fire?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Patients with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold and excessive liver fire should generally avoid dandelion. Dandelion is cold in nature and bitter in taste, and is usually not recommended for individuals with weak spleen and stomach or a cold constitution. For those with spleen-stomach deficiency-cold and excessive liver fire, it may be beneficial to moderately consume foods that strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite, or tonify qi, such as Chinese yam and red dates. Additionally, under medical guidance, herbal formulas like Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) may be used for regulation.
