Chinese Kruiden Categorie

Chinese kruiden categorieChinese kruiden worden ingedeeld volgens hun opwarming of afkoeling effect op het lichaam, evenals hun smaak en andere bioactieve werking. In het algemeen, zoete kruiden versterken Qi, zure kruiden zijn samentrekkend, meer werking op lever, bittere kruiden zijn vochtige afdrijvend en hitte eliminerend, scherpe kruiden verspreiden/verwijderen koud en stagnatie, en zoute kruiden hebben een verzachtende, reinigende werking.
In de praktijk zijn kruiden geselecteerd uit specifieke categorie om een samenstelling te vormen op basis van diagnostische patronen van de patiënt. Bijvoorbeeld, als een persoon is gebrek aan nier yang energie, kruiden uit de categorie “Herb that tonify kidney Yang” worden geselecteerd.
