Dandelion is not only a very good traditional Chinese medicine, but also a good vegetable, which has many functions and edible methods, such as raw food, cold salad, pickling, frying and so on. Through scientific research, it is found that dandelion can also be made into dandelion coffee, dandelion wine, dandelion cake and other foods.
Dandelion side effects: It is a drug with three kinds of toxicity, so you should know that any drug, even a very effective drug, will have toxic side effects, so you must pay attention to the right medicine and follow the doctor's advice when taking it. So is dandelion. Dandelion is a kind of herb, which can be used as medicine and edible. However, through modern scientific research, dandelion also has taboos, especially friends with yang deficiency, cold and cold, and weak spleen and stomach. We must be careful not to eat dandelion, otherwise it will cause some unnecessary symptoms.
The side effect of dandelion is 1. After a large dose of decoction, there are occasional gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and mild diarrhea. After taking a large dose of decoction (30g/kg) for 3 days, the hepatocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells of the experimental rabbits were slightly turbid and swollen, and the renal tubules narrowed, but other changes were not obvious. The subacute toxicity test of mice and rabbits showed that there were a few tubular and turbid renal tubular epithelial cells in urine.
Side effects of dandelion 2. The main reason of improper medicine is that it does not distinguish between cold and heat, and it does not abuse dandelion to treat various infections. Most of the infections seen in clinic are heat syndrome, and dandelion generally has no adverse reactions. However, a few infections belong to yin-cold syndrome, with no fever, long course of disease and weak constitution. I have seen someone treat Yin-cold syndrome with a large dose of dandelion. As a result, the patient has loss of appetite, fatigue, sweating and pale face. The infected lesions showed no signs of improvement. If dandelion is simply regarded as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, abuse will have adverse reactions.
Side effects of dandelion 3. Allergic reaction After taking traditional Chinese medicine dandelion and soaking dandelion in wine, some individuals will have symptoms such as measles or itching all over the body, which is the allergic phenomenon of dandelion. Occasionally, some people will have symptoms such as cold, pale face and blue lips after using dandelion injection, which is also an allergic phenomenon.
