Coffee is not recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, but Ni Haixia believes that coffee is a hot food and long-term drinking may cause a variety of diseases. He emphasized that excessive drinking of coffee may aggravate symptoms such as insomnia and palpitations, which is not conducive to health and well-being. Ni Haixia suggested that people should drink coffee in moderation in daily life and adjust it according to their own physical condition to maintain good health. In busy modern life, coffee has become a must-have drink for many people. Its unique aroma and refreshing effect are deeply loved by the public. The various controversies about coffee have never stopped. Some people mentioned the name of coffee in the Compendium of Materia Medica and the taboos of Chinese medicine master Ni Haixia on coffee, which aroused everyone's curiosity and attention. This article aims to explore this issue and try to uncover the reasons behind it. Let’s first look at the name of coffee in the Compendium of Materia Medica. The Compendium of Materia Medica is a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, which includes a wealth of Chinese medicinal materials and their effects. Coffee, as an imported drink, is not clearly recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica. This does not mean that there is no trace of coffee in the Compendium of Materia Medica, but the historical background and cultural positioning of its introduction into China make this issue complicated. Why does Ni Haixia say that we can’t drink coffee? Ni Haixia is a well-known master of traditional Chinese medicine. His views often combine traditional Chinese medicine theory and clinical experience. In traditional Chinese medicine, coffee is stimulating. Long-term and large-scale drinking will have a negative impact on the human body. This irritation may cause the balance of yin and yang in the human body to be broken, causing a series of health problems. Coffee may also affect the quality of sleep and further damage the body. Ni Haixia's taboo views are not groundless, but are based on a deep understanding of Chinese medicine theory and a summary of practical experience. In Chinese medicine theory, the harmonious coexistence of food and the body is emphasized. The intake of any food should follow the laws of nature and the needs of the body. Coffee is a stimulating drink, and excessive consumption will undoubtedly cause a burden on the body. We cannot completely deny the value of coffee because drinking coffee in moderation can improve work efficiency and refresh the mind. For many people, it is a kind of life enjoyment. The key to the problem lies in how to balance and moderate. Different people have different physical conditions and needs, and their acceptance and reaction to coffee will also be different. When it comes to the question of whether to drink coffee, we should make choices based on our physical condition and living habits. We also need to look at the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine rationally. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of food and the body, while modern medicine reveals the connection between food and health through scientific research. In our fast-paced lives, we can combine the two, respect the body's feelings, and make full use of modern scientific knowledge to make choices that are beneficial to ourselves. Although there is no clear record of coffee in Compendium of Materia Medica, Ni Haixia's view that we should not drink coffee excessively is worth our consideration. While enjoying the pleasure brought by coffee, we also need to pay attention to the needs of our body, adjust our lifestyle, and achieve harmony and health of body and mind. (Details of no less than one thousand words are omitted here) The article discusses in detail the name of coffee in Compendium of Materia Medica and its controversy, as well as Ni Haixia's taboo views on coffee. By combining Chinese medicine theory, practical experience and modern scientific knowledge, we can not only better understand the characteristics of coffee, but also provide a useful reference for our own life choices. In daily life, we should enjoy the beauty of life in moderation according to our actual situation, while paying attention to the health and balance of the body. |
