Turmeric Ibuprofen Timing
On the appropriate interval between taking turmeric and ibuprofen
The medical way is subtle. The order and timing of taking the medicine are related to the efficacy and physical safety. Turmeric is mild in nature, and has the ability to remove blood stasis and move qi, pass menstruation and relieve pain; ibuprofen is a commonly used analgesic and antipyretic agent. Although both can treat pain, the timing of taking them is very particular.
Turmeric enters the body, and its effect gradually emerges, traveling between qi and blood meridians. If taking turmeric and then taking ibuprofen, the two may be disturbed in the body. Turmeric is warm and scattered, ibuprofen is directly related to the disease and relieves pain, and sudden combination is the speed of qi and the drug is chaotic, which may cause qi and blood rebellion, or increase the burden on the stomach.
Therefore, after taking turmeric, it is appropriate to wait for a while to make the qi of turmeric gradually spread, and the qi and blood flow smoothly and orderly. After about two hours (that is, four hours in modern times), the qi in the body has been slightly smoothed due to turmeric, and then ibuprofen is taken, and its analgesic effect can be complemented by the qi of turmeric. Ibuprofen gets the qi of turmeric, and the medicinal power reaches the hospital quickly; turmeric helps ibuprofen to connect the meridians, so that the pain-relieving power is better, and it can slow down the injury of ibuprofen to the stomach.
The way of medication, such as the deployment of soldiers, in an orderly manner, can determine the state of pain and protect the health. Doctors should observe carefully, and patients must also be cautious. According to this reason, it is appropriate to use turmeric and ibuprofen.
