Radishes are mainly used for purgation, while carrots are used for tonic. It is best not to eat them at the same time.

It is worth mentioning that people are used to peeling radish when eating it, but they don’t know that 98% of the calcium in radish is in the radish skin, so it is best to eat radish with the skin on. Of course, although radish is good, you should also be careful when eating it. Since radish tastes spicy and sweet and is cold in nature, people with weak spleen and stomach, poor digestion, or weak constitution should eat less; radish breaks qi, so don’t eat it after taking tonics such as ginseng, raw and cooked rehmannia, and Polygonum multiflorum, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine. In addition, since eating raw radish produces more gas, it is not good for ulcers, so patients with such diseases should eat less radish.
