Can I still eat Chinese medicine if it is moldy?

Some families will buy a lot of Chinese medicine, and every time they cannot finish taking it, the illness will be cured. In fact, most people have had this experience. If Chinese medicine is left for a long time, it will become moldy. I don’t know if it can still be eaten after it becomes moldy. Some people say that Chinese medicine cannot be eaten after it has been taken, because after it becomes moldy, the medicinal properties of the Chinese medicine change and it has a lot of toxicity.

You can’t eat moldy food, but you still need to pay attention to:

The quality of Chinese medicine varies greatly. Chinese medicine with the same batch number can only be packaged on the same day, and is not produced on the same day like Western medicine. In addition, the climate is humid in summer, so Chinese medicine is difficult to preserve. Do not use moldy Chinese medicine. Don't worry if you accidentally ingest one or two doses. It will not cause cancer. It is recommended that you do not use these Chinese medicines at all. You can refuse them at the place where you get the medicine. When you see a doctor in the future, it is best to go to a regular pharmacy.

The efficacy of the medicine mainly lies in the fact that since the medicinal materials are moldy, there is something wrong with the medicinal materials. Therefore, it is not recommended that you take this Chinese patent medicine anymore. Although it is expensive, it is more troublesome to eat and is not good for your health.

You must never eat it again. You have to weigh the pros and cons. No matter how valuable the medicinal material is, if it is moldy, it has gone bad and spoiled. If you still eat it, you may get poisoned and feel uncomfortable, or even worse, it may be life-threatening. Chinese medicine is also medicine, so what should be thrown away should be thrown away. No matter what medicinal material it is, if it is spoiled, it cannot be eaten by people, no matter how valuable it is. Throw it away, or you'll lose more than you gain.

You must be careful when Chinese medicine becomes moldy. There are such cases in real life where people unfortunately lost their lives after taking moldy Chinese medicine. This is because moldy Chinese medicine itself is very toxic and harmful. It can cause great harm to the human body. Therefore, it is better to discard moldy Chinese medicine if you encounter it. Don't be reluctant to continue to boil it.
