Wormwood Side Effects

During the Dragon Boat Festival, we often find that there is a custom in most areas, that is to boil water with mugwort for bathing, the main purpose of which is to prevent mosquito bites. In addition to this function, mugwort can also be used for acupuncture, which can help people expel toxins from the body. However, mugwort as a Chinese herbal medicine cannot cure all diseases. Although it has many benefits, it still has certain negative effects.

What are the side effects?

1. Inhibit nerves

The Chinese medicinal material mugwort contains a large amount of natural volatile oil. This substance has a strong aroma and its composition is particularly complex. If the body absorbs too much, it will have a significant inhibitory effect on the nerves and be harmful to human health.

2. Aggravate physical weakness

Mugwort should not be used too much. If used excessively, it will consume the yang energy in the human body and make the body become weaker and weaker. Not only will it fail to play a role in health care, but it will also reduce the body's immunity and make various diseases more prevalent.

Contraindications

There are not many taboos when using mugwort in daily life. As long as you pay attention to the dosage and do not use it excessively, it will not do any harm to the human body. However, those who suffer from yin deficiency and blood heat should try to avoid using mugwort, otherwise it will aggravate the symptoms of yin blood and blood heat and increase the incidence of some special diseases.
