Ephedra Root Side Effects

Ephedra root has significant effects in treating many diseases, so it is often used as medicine. However, it is actually not suitable for some people. If these people take ephedra root, it will cause some side effects. These side effects include palpitations, insomnia, weak lung qi, exogenous wind-cold, etc., so people need to determine their own constitution and physical condition before choosing to use ephedra root to avoid side effects.

1. Side Effects of Ephedra Root

Although ephedra root has a strong medicinal effect, its most obvious medicinal effect is sweating. Therefore, some people may not be suitable for taking the medicine. After taking the traditional Chinese medicine containing ephedra, this type of people will immediately start sweating profusely. Therefore, people who suffer from exogenous wind-cold, palpitations and insomnia should take it with caution. Because people who catch a cold are generally weaker. Then taking ephedra root will make your body even weaker. Moreover, if the patient has palpitations and insomnia, he or she will be more prone to sweating. If we take ephedra, our body will become weaker, which is not conducive to the development of the disease. Instead, it will affect our health, so we need to be careful to avoid it.

2. People with weak lung qi and cough should take it with caution

At the same time, although it is good for us to take ephedra root, it is not conducive for people with qi deficiency, especially those who still have a persistent cough. This is because ephedra root is a dispersing medicine and has the effect of purging heat. Therefore, if the patient has weak qi, he may not be able to withstand the medicinal effects. If you must take it, one should take it together with other types of medicines. This can help us avoid side effects. At the same time, when taking ephedra root, you should consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, and the effect will be better. This is one of the more obvious side effects of ephedra root.

Taking ephedra root itself is good, but there are also many contraindications and side effects when taking it, which has a great impact on our health and we must be careful to avoid it, so as to help us have a healthy body in our daily life and help us prevent and relieve greater physical discomfort.
