Side effects of Eclipta prostrata

When using drugs to treat diseases, we generally only pay attention to the efficacy of the drugs, thus ignoring the side effects of the drugs on the body. No matter which drug is used, we should not only pay attention to the efficacy, but also the side effects. Eclipta prostrata has a relatively high medicinal value and is a Chinese herbal medicine. Eclipta prostrata has some side effects when used.

Side effects of Eclipta prostrata

High fever

Many people want to know whether high fever, sweating or chills after taking Eclipta prostrata are side effects of Eclipta prostrata. To be precise, these are not caused by the side effects of Eclipta prostrata, but because the Eclipta prostrata we take contains a lot of impurities. It is these impurities that cause us to experience the adverse reactions mentioned above.

Vomit

In our lives, there are many people whose stomachs are not very good, and they will experience stomach pain and vomiting after taking Eclampsia. So, will the side effects of Eclampsia cause vomiting and stomach pain? In fact, this is not the case. Although Eclampsia is not a particularly strong traditional Chinese medicine, its medicinal effect will be directly absorbed by the stomach. Therefore, people with poor stomachs should not take traditional Chinese medicine.

Worsening of dysmenorrhea

In our lives, many people suffer from irregular menstruation due to inadequate maintenance of their daily lives. Dysmenorrhea is a common phenomenon. Eclipta prostrata has anti-aging effects, but it will aggravate dysmenorrhea because Eclipta prostrata can also cause blood coagulation inside the body, making the already poorly circulated blood even more poorly. This is how the side effects of Eclipta prostrata work.

The role of Eclipta prostrata

Stop bleeding.

When Eclipta prostrata powder was applied to animal wounds and half-severed femoral artery wounds, the average bleeding time was 2 minutes.

Improve immunity.

Oral administration of the decoction of Eclipta prostrata to mice can significantly increase the weight of the thymus, and improve the number of white blood cells and the percentage of T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. It can counteract the decrease of hemolysin antibody content caused by cyclophosphamide, but has no effect on the antibody secretion function of mouse spleen cells and the hemolysin antibody content in serum. This indicates that Houttuynia cordata can enhance cellular immune function and protect humoral immune function, while having little effect on normal humoral immune function.

Protect the liver.

After administering the extract of Eclipta prostrata, the activities of AlT, AST, and AKP in the animal serum were significantly lower than those in the control group, the necrosis and fatty degeneration of liver cell lobules were significantly alleviated, and it was found that it could also promote the regeneration of liver cells. The main active ingredients of Eclipta prostrata that have anti-hepatotoxic effects are chelidonolide and norchelidonolide.
