The symptoms of favism are mainly due to genetic factors that cause the body to develop hemolytic anemia after eating broad beans. This situation is very dangerous if it is not treated promptly and effectively. Then there is a possibility that life will be directly threatened. Favism can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. So are there any taboos in traditional Chinese medicine when treating favism? Let us introduce it below.

If you are not careful about your diet and medication, favism may lead to acute hemolysis, so you must pay close attention to it in your life. Generally, patients with favism should not take traditional Chinese medicines such as honeysuckle, bezoar, wintersweet flower, bear bile, etc. that may cause hemolytic reactions, and it is also best not to take oxidizing drugs. Some pesticide sprays may also cause hemolytic reactions in patients with favism, so be careful to avoid taking or contacting them. It is important to avoid eating broad beans or their processed products, and avoid going to broad bean fields when they are being harvested.
