Everyone knows that Chinese herbal medicine can cure the root cause of the disease, unlike Western medicine which only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Therefore, many people choose to take Chinese herbal medicine when they are sick. Yes, Chinese herbal medicine is mild in nature. Although it is not as effective as Western medicine, it can eliminate the root cause of the disease. Many people are worried and ask, will eating herbs cause allergies? Don’t worry, let me show you how to understand whether eating herbs will cause allergic reactions.

Chinese herbal medicine allergy refers to a series of allergic reactions after taking Chinese medicine. Everyone knows about allergies to Western medicines and thinks that Chinese medicines will not cause allergies. In fact, this understanding is wrong. Experts point out that allergies to Chinese medicines are very common and are mostly related to personal constitution. Therefore, everyone must be careful when taking Chinese medicines.

Allergies to Chinese medicine are very common, "Chinese medicine experts said, "Most people believe that Chinese medicine is natural and will not cause allergies. In fact, there are many cases of allergies to Chinese medicine, but we don't realize that if the medicine is not stopped in time, it will lead to adverse consequences. "According to literature reports, adverse reactions to traditional Chinese medicine account for 15%-17% of all adverse drug reactions, among which drug allergy is the main manifestation. Experts recommend that before using the drugs you purchase, you should understand in detail the ingredients, properties and possible toxic side effects of the drugs.

Allergy to Chinese medicine is related to personal constitution. Any medicine, even food, may cause allergic reaction, including Chinese medicine. Most people are fine taking Chinese medicine for a long time, but some patients will have an allergic reaction immediately after taking it. Allergies to traditional Chinese medicine often have little to do with usage and dosage, but are instead related to individual physical differences, such as the user's genetic genes, metabolic enzymes in the body, and immune system. The principle is similar to how people who lack lactase are allergic to milk. Therefore, people with allergies or weak constitutions should use Chinese medicine with caution, starting with a small dose and gradually increasing the dose. Closely observe drug reactions during medication, and stop taking the drug immediately if allergic symptoms occur. Anti-allergic drugs can be used for those with mild symptoms. Those with severe symptoms, such as anaphylactic shock, should be sent to the hospital immediately for comprehensive treatment.

After reading the above content, I believe everyone already knows that eating herbs can cause allergies. Please note that if an allergic reaction occurs while taking the medicine, you should stop taking the medicine immediately and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Please be sure to correctly distinguish the allergic symptoms caused by Chinese medicine from the symptoms of the disease itself, and do not regard allergic reactions as aggravation of the disease. I wish you good health.
