The ancients said, "It's a three-point poison." Neijing, the earliest medical monograph in China, is very particular about how to use drugs, and divides them into big toxic, normal toxic, small toxic and non-toxic. Treating diseases requires great poison to treat diseases, and six out of ten; Often poison cures diseases, and ten goes to the seventh; A small poison cures a disease, and ten goes to eight; Non-toxic treatment, nine out of ten. Nowadays, many people think that most of traditional Chinese medicine comes from natural animals and plants and pure traditional Chinese medicine preparations, which are milder and safer than chemicals, and always think that there will be no side effects of drugs. In fact, if the medicine stone is abused and abused at will, it will also have toxic and side effects.

Initial explanation
If it is a medicine, it is somewhat biased. However, this bias is not toxic to the syndrome, and it is toxic to the syndrome (the harm caused by bias).
According to the literature, more than 20 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines have been found to be lethal, such as Tripterygium wilfordii, a highly toxic Chinese medicine for treating rheumatoid arthritis, a bitter chair for expelling ascaris, and centipede, a toxic Chinese medicine for calming wind and relieving spasm. Some Chinese herbal medicines are not only toxic, but even extremely toxic, such as mercury, cantharides, red arsenolite, white arsenolite and so on.
Some crude drugs are still quite toxic, such as Radix Aconiti Lateralis, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Semen Strychni, Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii, Semen Phaseoli, and Radix Nanxing. Although the toxicity of these drugs can be greatly reduced after processing, if they are abused or the dosage is too large, they will still have toxic side effects, poisoning or even death. Therefore, in the application, the dosage should be strictly controlled. It is reported that an "expert" once used aconite to treat rheumatism, but the dosage was doubled, and the patient died.
Although we should pay attention to toxic Chinese and herbal medicines, we should still pay attention to the dosage of some commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, if the dosage is too large. It can also lead to side effects. For example, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, which is mild in nature, can reconcile various medicines and has the functions of invigorating the stomach, invigorating the middle energizer, purging fire and detoxicating, easing the nature of medicines and harmonizing the middle urgency. However, if it is taken for a long time for no reason, it will affect the spleen and stomach qi and hinder the digestive function; Excessive dosage of Dioscorea bulbifera can lead to liver damage and jaundice; Excessive dosage of Akebia Akebia can cause kidney damage.
According to the data, the person who said this sentence was Chun Liu, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, and the original text was from Addendum to the Method of Treating and Clearing Drugs. From the chronological point of view, there was no western medicine at that time, which should refer to Chinese herbal medicine. The full text of this sentence is "medicine is toxic in three parts, only appetizers are non-toxic, and those who cover appetizers detoxify." Huangdi Neijing classifies Chinese herbal medicines into four categories: big poison, common poison, small poison and non-toxic, which is called "non-toxic". Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica contains 365 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, including top grade 120 kinds, which clearly records "non-toxic" and "prolonging life".
At this point, we find that the "yes" of "three-point toxicity of medicine" is not the "yes" of "everything". "Medicine" is not "all medicines". "Three points", some doctors think it means "three points for treatment and seven points for support". Looking at the word "poison" again, there are differences in meaning between ancient and modern times. In modern Chinese, "poison" means "harmful". In ancient times, "poison" had two meanings, one was "harmful" and the other was "biased". In most cases, the ancient medical books in Neijing era referred to "biased".
The ancients believed that as long as the medicine was cold and hot, even if it was toxic, Chinese medicine scholars followed the ancient times, and Chun Liu also followed the meaning of "partiality". In fact, when people get sick, it means that the yin and yang of the human body are out of balance, and they are biased. Doctors use hot drugs to drive away your cold and cold drugs to clear your heat. It is precisely by using the bias of drugs to fight against the bias of your body and make your yin and yang regain balance.
