Side Effects of Chinese Medicine

Maybe many friends think that Chinese medicine and other things in life are harmless to our health, but this is wrong. In fact, the Chinese medicine we take in our daily life has some side effects on our health, so we recommend that you do not take Chinese medicine when you have nothing to do in your life, so as to avoid the side effects of Chinese medicine. I hope everyone can understand the side effects of Chinese medicine.

Long-term use of Chinese medicine is harmful to our health. It may cause abdominal distension, dizziness, and physical discomfort. I hope that if you want to use Chinese medicine to treat it, it is best to stop taking the medicine after the disease is cured and recover through body adjustments.

Long-term use of Chinese medicine can also cause damage to the gastric mucosa, which has attracted the attention of more and more specialist physicians. It has been reported in the literature that after taking Chinese medicine for three consecutive months, patients will experience symptoms such as poor appetite, abdominal distension, upper abdominal discomfort, and dull pain. Gastroscopy observation of patients who took Chinese medicine for a long time found that the patients' gastric mucosa had become thinner and their pathology showed chronic inflammatory changes. Because the composition of traditional Chinese medicine is complex, especially when multiple types of Chinese medicine are mixed together, it is difficult to distinguish the effective ingredients and adverse reaction components, so the mechanism that causes gastric mucosal changes is still unclear.

Certain ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine neutralize the mucus in the gastric cavity and destroy the mucosal barrier. It is also possible that some traditional Chinese medicines have a direct destructive effect on the gastric mucosa. Because the types and dosages of each prescription are very different, it is very difficult to determine the exact cause. In fact, traditional medicine has long recorded that Chinese medicine can damage the stomach: "Bitter and cold medicines can relieve heat, but over time they will also damage the spleen and stomach."

Pinellia, Arisaema, Aconitum, Chuanwu, and Aconitum are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Why doesn't poisoning occur? On the one hand, it is because these medicines are processed. For example, taking raw Pinellia orally can cause vomiting. Numbness of lips and tongue. Hoarseness and other side effects, but after raw pinellia is processed with ginger juice, alum, salt, etc., its toxicity is greatly reduced. On the other hand, we must also master the correct method of use. For example, when mercury is used as the main drug to treat skin cancer and cervical cancer, it can only be used externally and is strictly prohibited for oral administration, otherwise mercury poisoning will occur.

Regarding the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine introduced in the article, we recommend that you understand them in your life, which will help you apply the medicinal value of traditional Chinese medicine in your life. The medicinal value of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively high, so we recommend that everyone should not only know how to use traditional Chinese medicine in life, but also know its side effects.
