Can Ligustrum lucidum be soaked in water and drunk?

As the competitive pressure in all walks of life in modern society continues to intensify, more and more female friends not only have to take care of the family, but also have to show their talents in the workplace. Long-term physical fatigue and irregular diet will increase their chances of suffering from stomach problems. Frequent use of some western medicines will also cause more side effects to the body. Therefore, many friends begin to take Ligustrum lucidum regularly to alleviate their condition. So can Ligustrum lucidum be soaked in water and drunk? Let's take a look at it together in the following time.

Taboos of drinking water soaked with Ligustrum lucidum

First: Patients with renal insufficiency should take with caution

An old Chinese doctor told us that although drinking Ligustrum lucidum soaked in water has many benefits, it can easily cause harm to your health if you don’t pay attention or take it scientifically. Generally speaking, the editor does not recommend taking it for patients with insufficient kidney yang or weak spleen and stomach.

It is recorded in famous Chinese medical books that if Ligustrum lucidum is taken together with medicines for protecting the spleen and stomach, stomach pain and diarrhea may easily occur if one is not careful. Generally speaking, drinking Ligustrum lucidum soaked in water is not suitable for patients with stomach deficiency, cold diarrhea and yang deficiency.

Second: Ligustrum lucidum contains a small amount of toxicity

The toxicity of Ligustrum lucidum is relatively low, but it does not mean that it is non-toxic. Scientists conducted clinical experiments and found that people are prone to mild abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dry mouth after taking Ligustrum lucidum. However, if they stop taking Ligustrum lucidum, they will recover quickly.

Third: Patients with spleen and stomach deficiency should take it in moderation

In addition, Ligustrum lucidum also has a certain laxative effect. This is because Ligustrum lucidum contains a small amount of fatty oil and mannitol, which can moisturize the intestines very well. Therefore, for patients with normal bowel movements or constipation, taking Ligustrum lucidum will not have any serious consequences. However, for people whose stools are originally loose or frequent, they must pay attention to the dosage when taking Ligustrum lucidum on a daily basis. If taken in large quantities, it can easily lead to loose bowels.

Fourth: Women should pay special attention when taking Ligustrum lucidum

Experts recommend that medication during pregnancy must be taken under the advice of a professional doctor. In addition, pregnancy is a special stage for women. It is best not to take Ligustrum lucidum at this time. If you want to take Ligustrum lucidum, it is best to consult a professional doctor, so as to better avoid affecting your body and fetus. If you use Ligustrum lucidum to treat a disease, but no significant effect is seen after taking it for two weeks, it is best to go to a professional hospital for diagnosis and treatment to avoid serious consequences.

Through the description of the above paragraphs, I believe that most friends have already reached an accurate conclusion about the above questions. But I would also like to say one more thing. In our daily lives, we must arrange our working hours reasonably, eat three meals a day on time, not overeat, and get enough sleep so that our brain can get a reasonable rest. We should also take more time for physical exercise.
