What are the contraindications for taking angelica?

Angelica is a very familiar Chinese medicinal material in our lives. It can not only be used alone to help people be healthier. At the same time, it can be more effective when combined with other medicinal materials, but how much detailed knowledge do you have about this medicinal material? What are the specific effects and some taboos in consumption? These are all closely related to the human body. So, what are the contraindications of taking Angelica?

1. Excessive dosage: Oral administration of regular dosage of Angelica decoction or powder may occasionally cause fatigue, drowsiness and other reactions, which will disappear after stopping the medication. Acupuncture injection of angelica volatile oil can cause patients to experience fever, headache, dry mouth, nausea and other reactions, which can be relieved on their own. Administration of large doses can lower the blood pressure of experimental animals. Further increases in the dose will cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and respiratory arrest. Angelica angelica ether extract is highly toxic and even a small amount can cause death in experimental animals. Angelica should not be used in excess in clinical practice, and attention should be paid to any adverse reactions after taking the medicine.

2. Allergic reaction: There are reports that acupuncture injection of compound angelica injection causes anaphylactic shock.

3. Improper use of the medicine: Angelica sinensis is pungent and fragrant. People with menorrhagia, bleeding tendency, yin deficiency, internal heat, and loose stools should not take it. Improper use of medication will aggravate symptoms such as bleeding and diarrhea.

4. It is forbidden to be used by patients with excessive heat and bleeding. It should be used with caution by those with excessive dampness, fullness in the middle, and loose stools.

Various discussions on Angelica sinensis: 1. "Annotations to the Treatise on Febrile Diseases": The pulse is the home of blood, and all blood belongs to the heart. Anyone who wants to clear the pulse must first nourish the heart and replenish the blood. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing used the bitter and warm properties of Angelica sinensis to help the heart blood in treating cold hands and feet and weak pulses.

2. "Tangye Bencao": Angelica sinensis enters the hand Shaoyin because its heart governs blood; it enters the foot Taiyin because its spleen wraps blood; it enters the foot Jueyin because its liver stores blood. The head can break blood, the body can nourish blood, and the tail can circulate blood. If you don't use them properly, it's better not to use them. If all of them are used, ginseng and astragalus can both replenish blood; morning glory and rhubarb can both break up blood, and serve as assistants and stabilize the function. Users should be aware of this. From cinnamon, aconite, and cornus, it causes heat; from rhubarb and Glauber's salt, it causes cold. However, angelica steamed with wine can also treat headaches. Because all kinds of headaches belong to the wood type, they are treated with blood-related medicines.

3. "Han's Medical Encyclopedia": Angelica sinensis is used to treat blood diseases. The one produced in Sichuan is strong and can be used for attacking, while the one produced in Qin is soft and can be used for nourishing. For this disease, it is appropriate to treat it with wine, and the phlegm should be soaked with ginger juice to guide the blood back to its source. The same principle applies to Rehmannia root. For blood deficiency, use ginseng and lithosphere as adjuvants; for blood heat, use raw rehmannia, turmeric, and scutellaria baicalensis to continuously replenish the source of metabolism; for blood stagnation, use rhubarb; for obesity in women, blood turns into phlegm, soak the two flavors in ginger and add diuretics. In short, blood-clearing drugs cannot be without angelica, so the ancient prescription Siwu Decoction uses angelica as the main ingredient, peony as the secondary ingredient, raw and cooked Rehmannia as the auxiliary ingredients, and Chuanxiong as the messenger. This can be said to be a classic.

Angelica is suitable for the following groups of people: 1. Suitable for people with irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, insufficient qi and blood, headaches and dizziness, and constipation. 2. It is forbidden to be used by those with excessive heat and bleeding. It should be used with caution by those with excessive dampness, fullness in the middle, loose stools, and pregnant women.
