Can you eat black vinegar for gynecological inflammation

Black vinegar is a very common condiment in our daily life. Its seasoning function is to increase the acidity of some foods. But in addition to being a condiment that can enhance the flavor of dishes, black vinegar also has another function, which is to treat certain diseases in the human body. For example, when you have a stomachache, mix black sugar with white sugar, which is very effective in curing stomachache. So if a woman suffers from gynecological inflammation, can she reduce the inflammation by consuming black vinegar?

1. Eating vinegar can treat gynecological diseases

As early as in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" recorded the use of vinegar to treat diseases, and called vinegar "bitter wine." The Compendium of Materia Medica records the medicinal effects of vinegar: "Vinegar can cure various sores, swellings, heart and stomach pain, phlegm, blood diseases, kill fish, meat, vegetables, and insect poisons. It is simply because of its sour and astringent properties, and it also has the function of dispersing blood stasis and detoxifying." The Essentials of Materia Medica states: "Vinegar can remove dampness, dissipate blood stasis, detoxify, and relieve gas, as well as help digestion and stimulate appetite."

According to legend, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty would drink a cup of vinegar before going to bed every night. It was considered one of the "imperial recipes" for longevity and was quite effective.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acid enters the liver and the liver governs blood. Many gynecological diseases are caused by discomfort in the liver meridian. Vinegar is sour and specifically enters the liver meridian. It can enhance the drug's effect of soothing the liver and relieving pain, and can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and relieve blood stasis and relieve pain.

"Vinegar processing" is an important processing method of traditional Chinese medicine. In clinical Chinese medicine, vinegar is often used together with various medicines. For example, common gynecological medicines such as vinegar bupleurum, vinegar angelica, vinegar white peony, etc. are used to treat gynecological diseases such as irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia and leukorrhea.

A specific prescription, such as dividing Cyperus rotundus into three parts, soaking them in salt, vinegar, and rice wine respectively, making pills for oral administration, can regulate menstruation and relieve pain.

Take 50 grams of Sanguisorba officinalis (burned to charcoal) and 50 grams of rice vinegar, boil them together with water and drink it. It is suitable for menorrhagia and uterine bleeding caused by blood heat.

For example, the "Revised Collection of Experience" records a prescription for treating leucorrhea: "Use a whole Guanzhong herb, scrape off the skin and hair... wet it with rice vinegar, roast it over low heat, grind it into powder, and drink it with rice soup on an empty stomach. Take two cents each time." This prescription has been proven to be effective in treating leucorrhea caused by damp heat in women who have not been cured by other medicines.

Recent studies have found that vinegar also has the effect of beautifying and maintaining youthfulness. Regular consumption of health vinegar and vinegar products can make the skin smooth and delicate, reduce wrinkles, and make the face moisturized and healthy. Washing your face with diluted vinegar for a long time is also beneficial to the nutrition of facial skin.

Mix vinegar and glycerin in a ratio of 5:1 and apply it to the skin for a long time. This can gradually restore rough skin to tenderness. Apply vinegar to the skin at the roots of hair before going to bed every night to reduce the formation of dandruff. Drinking a small amount of vinegar before going to bed every night can not only help you sleep, but also help skin care.

2. What should not be eaten for gynecological inflammation

1. Sweet and greasy food: Eating sweet and greasy food frequently will increase the secretion of leucorrhea, making it impossible for foreign bodies in the body to be completely discharged, which will provide a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, sweet and greasy foods such as fructose, chocolate, cream cake, ice cream, etc. should not be eaten too much.

2. Irritating foods: Irritating foods are not conducive to the treatment of gynecological inflammation and will aggravate the inflammation. In traditional Chinese medicine, chicken, soft-shelled turtle, kelp, crucian carp, etc. are all considered to be allergenic foods.

3. Seafood: Seafood contains various trace elements found in seawater. These elements may aggravate the itching sensation in the inflamed area in people with sensitive constitutions. Common seafood such as kelp, shrimp, crab, etc. should not be eaten.

4. Pickled food: Pickled food contains a large amount of dimethylnitrite, which will react in the human body and produce dimethylnitrosamine. Dimethylnitrosamine is a strong carcinogen that can aggravate or recur gynecological inflammation symptoms. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat too much pickled foods such as salted fish, sauerkraut, and kimchi. In addition, eating a lot of pickled vegetables can lead to vitamin C deficiency in the human body. Eating some pickled vegetables properly can increase appetite and regulate appetite, but if it becomes a habit and is consumed for a long time, it can easily cause various diseases.

5. Spicy food: Spicy food is highly irritating and can easily disrupt the internal circulation, hinder the immune system, and aggravate the condition of gynecological inflammation. Common spicy foods include ginger, white wine, mustard, onion, garlic, etc.

6. Hormone foods: Hormone foods will affect the endocrine system, stimulate the inflammatory sites, cause a surge in the number of pathogens, and aggravate gynecological inflammation. Common hormone foods include red dates, mutton, hormone drinks, etc.
