1. Although Sterculia lychnophora can be used as both medicine and food, after all, "all medicines are poisonous". Drinking Sterculia lychnophora for a long time without identifying the cause of the disease or according to your physical condition will be harmful to your health. Plantago ovata is different from other edible and medicinal varieties such as lily, lotus seeds and red beans. It is a pure Chinese medicine. After drinking, the toxins need to be excreted through the kidneys and liver. If you drink it for a long time, it will put a burden on the kidney and liver systems. Modern pharmacological research has confirmed that the medicinal properties of Sterculia lychnophora are cool, which can promote small intestinal peristalsis and produce a gentle laxative effect. However, long-term and excessive drinking of Sterculia lychnophora water can cause spleen and stomach weakness.

2. Causes side effects such as diarrhea, decreased appetite, chest tightness, and weight loss. People with poor stomachs will show more obvious symptoms. For patients who already have diarrhea, long-term use of Sterculia lychnophora will further aggravate the condition. There are also many allergic reactions caused by it, such as itchy skin all over the body, swollen lips, dizziness, palpitations, nausea, etc., which are serious and can be life-threatening.

3. In principle, Plantago ovata can only be used for medicinal purposes, and it must be "used for the right symptoms and stopped when the effects are seen." For example, for tonsillitis, use 3-5 pieces of Sterculia lychnophora, soak them in boiling water for two or three days, and stop using it after the symptoms are relieved. For dry sore throat and hoarseness caused by wind-heat cold, use 5 pieces of Sterculia lychnophora and 3 grams of licorice to make tea for drinking. Drink it for two or three days. If there is no effect, stop using it. If it doesn’t work, see a doctor immediately.

4. If you drink it for a long time, it will bring burden to the kidney and liver system. Ancient pharmacological studies have shown that the medicinal properties of Sterculia lychnophora are cool, which can promote small intestinal peristalsis and produce a mild laxative effect. However, drinking Sterculia lychnophora for a long time and in excess will cause spleen and stomach weakness, leading to side effects such as diarrhea, food intake reduction, chest tightness, and weight loss. People with poor stomachs will show it more clearly. For patients who already have diarrhea, if they take Pandanus lychnophora for a short time, the condition will be further aggravated. The allergic reactions caused by it may be numerous, such as itchy skin all over the body, swollen lips, dizziness, palpitations, nausea, etc., which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
