Chapter 2 Miraculous medicinal properties and principles of treatment (2)
3. The effect of drinking on the digestive system.Drinking alcohol with low ethanol content (about 10%) can promote the secretion of gastric juice and gastric acid, so patients with ulcer disease should avoid alcohol.Oral administration of higher concentrations (above 20%) of ethanol can inhibit the secretion of gastric juice and weaken the activity of pepsin. More than 40% have strong irritation to the gastric mucosa, and those who like to drink strong alcohol often suffer from chronic gastritis.The nausea and vomiting seen when ethanol is taken orally is mainly due to the stimulation of the vomiting center by the intermediate acetaldehyde product oxidized in the body.

4. Ethanol is rubbed locally on the skin, which can accelerate the volatilization of heat, so it has a cold feeling and can be used for patients with high fever.High-concentration ethanol can dehydrate and precipitate the cell plasma, so it has astringent and stimulating effects.Its bactericidal effect is the strongest with 70%, and the efficacy of those lower than 60% or higher than 80% is all low.

5. Ethanol is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, generally about 20% is absorbed in the stomach, and the rest is absorbed in the small intestine.It is absorbed most when the stomach is empty, and CO2 can promote its absorption.Alcohols with low ethanol concentration are easy to absorb, while those with high concentration are absorbed more slowly.About 90% to 98% of the ethanol entering the body is completely oxidized, releasing up to 29.7 kJ/g of energy (between fat and carbohydrates), which can be used by the body.Adults generally can oxidize about 1 ml of ethanol in one hour, and it has been reported that a maximum of 10 ml can be oxidized in one day.

Tip: Because alcohol is toxic, heavy drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning.

1. Acute poisoning: In mild cases, there is only excitement and vomiting, no special treatment is required.Severe cases fall into a lethargic state, gastric lavage or caffeine injection, ephedrine, amphetamine, etc. can also be used, and attention should be paid to heat preservation.

2. Chronic poisoning: Alcohol addicts develop tolerance to ethanol and drink more and more, but there is a certain limit, generally only 3 to 4 times more than normal, which is incomparable to morphine.

3. It is inappropriate to regard alcohol as a medicine to keep out the cold because of the warm feeling on the skin after drinking.Because the skin vasoconstriction is a protective reflex when it is cold, the vasomotor center is inhibited after drinking, and the skin blood vessels expand to cause a large amount of heat loss, which increases the risk of freezing to death.

tea

Tea has been widely used in my country for a long time, and tea has the effect of curing diseases. Another name: tea, Ming, divided into bitter tea, cured tea, fine tea, scented tea, green tea, black tea and so on.There are many unique features in the expositions of physicians in the past dynasties. "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" records: "Tea tastes bitter, drinking it makes people think better, sleep less, lighten the body and improve eyesight." It also said: "Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered 72 poisons every day, and got tea to solve them." "Compendium" also said: "Tea is mainly used to cure shortness of breath and cough, and remove phlegm." It also said: "Tea is bitter and cold, and it can best reduce fire... Fire is a hundred diseases, and when fire falls, it will clear up." "Tang Materia Medica" Said: "Tea tastes sweet and bitter, slightly cold and non-toxic, removes phlegm and heat, eliminates food, and facilitates urination." Zhang Zhongjing also clearly pointed out: "Tea is very effective in treating feces, pus and blood."

If the meat is between the teeth, it will be rinsed with tea, and it will be completely cleared, and it will not be taken off. and also."

Chemical composition: Tea contains caffeine, theophylline, tea polyphenols, xanthine, leucocyanin, theobromine, astragalin, quercetin, ergosterol, carotene and vitamins A, B, and C There are more than 450 kinds of organic compounds, and there are more than 20 kinds of macro minerals and trace elements.

Modern doctors are still researching and discovering many novel effects of tea.Pakistani scholars recently came up with a research report: "The dehydration metabolites in the body are deposited on the capillary wall to block the flow of body fluids, slow down cell metabolism, and people begin to age; while green tea can effectively remove this dehydration metabolites, delaying the dehydration. Or stop the dehydration process of cells, delay the aging of the body, extend life, and make the skin tender and soft.” Epidemiological investigations and experimental studies conducted by scientists in China and the United States have confirmed that the trace element selenium is an anti-cancer element.The National Cancer Institute of the United States pointed out: "In areas with high selenium content in food in the world, the incidence rates of gastric cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and colon cancer are very low. Appropriate selenium can reduce the incidence rate of some cancers. And in the same Among the foods in the region, the selenium content in tea is the highest.” Japanese scholars’ surveys and animal experiments on survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing area showed that survivors who were accustomed to drinking green tea recovered faster, had a higher survival rate, and had a lower incidence of blood diseases .In addition, cold water tea can cure diabetes, which has been confirmed by the World Health Organization.Studies have shown that tea contains substances that can promote the synthesis of the only hypoglycemic hormone - insulin.People's studies have also found that tea can prevent dental caries, colds and obesity, and can resist the three major poisons of tobacco. The shelf life of meat soaked in 0.5% tea can be doubled (this is the latest result obtained by Professor Das of the National University of Singapore using Chinese tea), especially the effect of tea on preventing adrenaline oxidation is even higher than that of vitamin E 18 times.The tea polyphenols in tea can not only absorb the radioactive strontium that enters the human body, but also absorb and excrete the radioactive strontium that has penetrated into the bone marrow (which can cause bone cancer), so it is known as the "drink of the atomic age".
