Are the side effects of Gastrodia elata serious?

I believe that friends who pay more attention to health should know that Gastrodia elata is a natural health product. Especially after stewing it with chicken, it has good nourishing effects such as dispelling wind and relieving pain, calming liver fire, etc. Therefore, many friends consume it as a tonic. However, we need to remind you that as a medicine, Gastrodia elata will have certain effects on the human body. Therefore, you must have sufficient understanding of the side effects of Gastrodia elata before you can consume it reasonably.

The first thing I want to explain to you is not the side effects of Gastrodia elata, but those who are not suitable to eat Gastrodia elata at all. For example, those with weak constitutions are not suitable to eat it, especially pregnant women or breastfeeding women must remember not to use it inappropriately!

Li Shizhen once said in Compendium of Materia Medica, "If you take Gastrodia elata for a long time, your whole body will turn red." Modern medicine has also proven that long-term use of Gastrodia elata does have certain side effects, and the incubation period is usually about 1 to 6 hours. Some people will experience symptoms of Gastrodia elata allergy, while others will only experience mild discomfort. Therefore, it is necessary to observe one's own condition at all times to achieve good treatment results.

Symptoms of side effects of Gastrodia elata: When taking Gastrodia elata, common side effects include dizziness, chest tightness, purpura, and skin itching, which need to be stopped in time. Some people may also experience symptoms of swelling all over the body and hair loss. If you encounter coma or more serious conditions, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid life-threatening situations. Many people use Gastrodia elata as a tonic when they experience dizziness or headaches, but they ignore the side effects of Gastrodia elata. This concept is extremely incorrect.

The side effects of Gastrodia elata can be serious or minor. The above are common side effects of Gastrodia elata. However, I also need to explain to you that some friends may experience allergies after eating Gastrodia elata. At this time, those with allergies must pay attention to timely and reasonable treatment to control drug allergies.
