It is generally said that all medicines are poisonous. Many Chinese herbal medicines must be taken in appropriate amounts under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine. Abuse may cause serious adverse effects. Since Scutellaria baicalensis is also a medicine, does stir-frying Atractylodes macrocephala have any side effects? What are the side effects?

According to the descriptions in ancient medical books, fried Atractylodes has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing Qi, resolving dampness and promoting diuresis, inhibiting sweat, and nourishing the fetus. It is mostly used for symptoms such as spleen deficiency, food stagnation, abdominal distension and diarrhea, phlegm and palpitations, edema, night sweats, and fetal movement disorder.

According to several tests, stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala has no side effects. Many people have done an experiment before:

Rats were gavage-fed with 0.5 g/kg of the decoction daily for 1-2 months, and no significant toxic or side effects were observed. However, after taking the medicine for 14 days, there was a moderate degree of leukocytopenia, mainly a decrease in reticulocytes; after taking the medicine for 2 months, there was mild anemia, and there were no changes in the brain, heart and liver tissues. Some animals showed slight granular degeneration of some tubular squamous cells, but no changes in the tubules.

Therefore, this is only the adverse effect of taking too much Scutellaria baicalensis for a long time. For a normal person, it is not possible to take such a large amount, but it should not be abused! Because it also depends on each person's physical fitness, different methods and dosages will be used.
