Prescriptions must be prepared differently depending on body type. For example, it's TCM protocol that "the weak can't bear tonics" and should limit their consumption of tea, coffee, scallions, ginger, and other stimulative foods. Instead, those with "weak qi" benefit from ginseng and astragalus, while those with "weak blood" should take Chinese angelica and rehmannia.
不同體質，有不同的調養方法，例如俗話說「虛不受補」，要少吃茶、咖啡、蔥、薑等刺激性食物，氣虛的人宜以人蔘、黃耆補氣，血虛的人，則多吃當歸、地黃藥材等補血。
