"Elderly people's have weak organs and they feel the cold," Dr. Ch'en Chao-hui of K'ang T'ai Chinese Medicine Clinic points out, old people usually take "warm" tonics, but people who suffer from dryness in the mouth, ringing in the ears and sleeplessness should take "cool" tonics and avoid extremes of "cold" or "hot."
「老年人器官較弱、也怕冷」，康泰中醫診所中醫師陳昭輝表示，老年人以溫補為主，避免太涼或太熱的補品，但若平常容易口乾、耳鳴、睡不著的人，則需要涼補。
