Side effects of processed Polygonum multiflorum

I believe everyone is very familiar with Polygonum multiflorum. This is a very common Chinese medicinal material in our daily life. This Chinese medicinal material is also very precious. It has many benefits to the human body. It can strengthen the body and make the hair darker and better. However, processed Polygonum multiflorum also has certain side effects. This is something everyone is very concerned about. Let us take a detailed look at it below.

Polygonum multiflorum is a precious Chinese medicinal material that everyone is very familiar with. It can be used in many ways, among which processed Polygonum multiflorum is a common method of use, which can be used in all aspects. In fact, processed Polygonum multiflorum also has side effects. Let us take a detailed look at it below.

What are the side effects of Polygonum multiflorum? What are the contraindications of using Polygonum multiflorum? Polygonum multiflorum can be used raw or processed. Raw use refers to the use of unprocessed Polygonum multiflorum, while processed use refers to the use of Polygonum multiflorum after processing it according to a certain processing method. Unprocessed Polygonum multiflorum is raw Polygonum multiflorum, which has the effects of detoxification and moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements; processed Polygonum multiflorum is processed Polygonum multiflorum, which has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, benefiting the essence and blood, blackening the hair, strengthening the tendons and bones, resolving turbidity and lowering lipids. It is mainly used for anemia and chlorosis, dizziness and tinnitus, premature graying of hair, soreness of the waist and knees, numbness of limbs, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, and hyperlipidemia. Whether to use raw or processed Polygonum multiflorum should be determined based on different signs and symptoms.

Polygonum multiflorum has been used in clinical practice as a traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. Since it is a traditional Chinese medicine, its specific application should follow the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and its application rules. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all medicines are toxic to some extent. How to control the "toxicity" involves many aspects such as drug collection, preparation, compatibility, dosage, and timing of treatment. "This cannot be explained by simple pharmacological analysis. It is obviously not rigorous to judge the validity of Polygonum multiflorum by relying solely on pharmacological analysis.

The Institute of Chinese Materia Medica, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences also believes that it cannot be arbitrarily said that Polygonum multiflorum is harmful to the liver. Adverse drug reactions are related to dosage and duration of administration. Chinese medicine may cause adverse effects if taken in excess or for too long. People often think that it is okay to take more tonic medicine or take it for a longer period of time. Because of this, Polygonum multiflorum is often taken in excessive amounts and for long periods of time, resulting in some abnormal liver test indicators.

Judging from the adverse reactions that have been reported so far, the vast majority of those involving the use of compound preparations containing Polygonum multiflorum or the use of Polygonum multiflorum alone are related to excessive medication, prolonged medication, or some are not used in accordance with the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment. A very small number of people may also experience some degree of abnormal liver indicators within normal medication dosage and time range. These people are often hypersensitive people, and some may have adverse reactions to multiple drugs or foods.

Through the introduction in the above article, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the side effects of processed Polygonum multiflorum. This is something that many people are very concerned about. Therefore, only by understanding it clearly can everyone use it better and reasonably. Secondly, if you want to have a good body, you still need to exercise well and eat a reasonable diet.
