Chinese medicine experts pointed out that although Ejiao is good, some women should not eat Ejiao, such as:
1, people who fall in love with fire, such as heart fire, liver fire, lung fire, and even people who have fire due to yin deficiency, will be unable to make up for the deficiency if they only use Ejiao, and the fire will get bigger and bigger.
2, people with heavy dampness in the body: can be manifested as dry mouth, bitter mouth, sticky mouth, fatigue, dizziness or head confusion, bloating, bad stool, and most importantly, thick and greasy tongue coating, or white or yellow.
3, people with wounds can't eat, Ejiao is blood-activating, so if there is a wound, you can't eat it immediately, wait until the wound is scarred, otherwise the wound won't knot.
4. People with blood stasis in the body: dark complexion, pigmentation, prone to ecchymosis, dull lips, dull tongue or petechiae, purple or thickened sublingual collaterals, and astringent pulse. Women often have bad menstruation, which is generally delayed, with blood clots, stomachache, black color, short time on the body and so on.
5, spleen deficiency, that is, people with low digestive function, the main manifestations are less food, rotten stool or dry first, fatigue, sallow complexion and so on. Although there is no rule that you can't eat Ejiao due to spleen deficiency, Ejiao is sticky and easy to hinder the function of the spleen and stomach, especially for patients with spleen deficiency, qi stagnation and less abdominal distension. If you must eat it, you need to be compatible with qi-regulating and digestion-promoting drugs to restrict the greasy nature of Ejiao.
Chinese medicine experts believe that people with yang deficiency can't eat donkey-hide gelatin. After taking it, people with yang deficiency will also have symptoms such as loss of appetite, stomach fullness and digestive dysfunction. In addition, you should stop taking Ejiao when you have a cold, cough, diarrhea or menstrual cramps, and then continue to take it after the illness is cured or stopped.
