Four men in Nanning made chicken soup and poured half a pound of poisonous aconite on themselves. The reason why they did this was mainly because of their "greed" and "ignorance."
There is a saying that "medicine is divided into three parts poison". Any kind of Chinese medicine or Western medicine must be taken according to the prescribed dosage. Excessive dosage will become "poisonous chicken soup"; Aconite is a poisonous Chinese medicine, although I don't know how they can get it.
I bought so much, but everyone should know that aconite is poisonous.
Foreword: Traditional Chinese medicine is relatively close to the human food chain and plays an important role in daily physical fitness and health care, so it has always been considered relatively safe.
Especially in recent years, as more and more people have become aware of health care, reports on the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine have attracted social attention.
Summary of the incident: According to media reports, four men in Nanning added 250 grams of aconite (a kind of Chinese medicinal material) to the chicken soup in order to replenish their health. After drinking the chicken soup, the four men were poisoned and sent to the hospital.
It is understood that the four men were aged between 40 and 60 years old, and three of them suffered from severe symptoms of discomfort: nausea and vomiting, chest tightness, palpitation, weakness in limbs, and numbness at the corners of the mouth.
The doctor determined that the amount of aconite added was seriously excessive.
Fortunately, after timely treatment, 4 people have been cured.
I have something to say about this matter: 1. Aconite should be used wisely and with caution and not abused.
Aconite has always been an important medicine for restoring yang and relieving adverse events, replenishing fire and supporting yang.
Also known as Aconitum or Aconitum, aliases: Aconitum, Aconitum, etc.
It is pungent, hot and pure yang, and has strong poisonous power.
Raw aconite should be fried for 1 to 2 hours, and the dosage is 3 to 15 grams.
Moreover, clinics or pharmacies generally do not sell so much to customers. They usually need a legal Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe Chinese medicine before they can sell it. Even if some irregular shops sell it secretly, they will normally give special instructions on the cooking time and dosage.
Because when it comes to people’s lives, we must be cautious and cautious!
But it does not rule out some profiteers who risk their lives for profit.
Therefore, in daily life, we should go to regular clinics or medicine stores to buy medicines, and we must take the initiative to ask about relevant matters to avoid such accidents.

2. Why is usage and dosage so important?
I believe everyone has heard that "medicine is three parts poison". Any kind of medicine, whether Chinese medicine or Western medicine, must be taken under the instructions of a doctor or licensed pharmacist. Do not overdose!
Which old Chinese medicine practitioner is the best in prescribing?
The dosage of Chinese medicine must be right, otherwise everyone thinks that just picking up a copy of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" can make you an experienced Chinese medicine doctor?
There is no doubt that to be a well-known old Chinese medicine practitioner, one must have a very accurate grasp of the dosage of Chinese medicines. Some Chinese medicines are even accurate to a few tenths of a gram.
Suppose further that if four men in Nanning went to a hospital or drugstore to buy yang-tonifying medicine, no one would recommend the highly toxic aconite, because firstly it would be troublesome to cook it, and secondly, they would be afraid of accidentally taking it.
At this time, "Fuzi Lizhong Pills" or "Guifu Dihuang Pills" are generally recommended first.
Doctors or pharmacists will usually specify that since it contains aconite, which is very hot and poisonous, the illness must be cured immediately and should not be taken excessively or for a long time.
Therefore, the usage and dosage of traditional Chinese medicine is very important!
If used well, it is a tonic; if used improperly, it is poison.
3. What should you do if you take a large amount of aconite or other toxic drugs?
1. You should call 120 emergency number immediately.
Then take a sample or internal and external packaging of the things you have eaten, so that the doctor can know what kind of medicine it is in a shorter time, prescribe the right medicine, and reduce the time for investigation.
2. Before the doctor arrives, you can induce vomiting.
It is best to use your fingers or chopsticks in a safe way to stimulate the base of the tongue to cause nausea and spit out the contents of the stomach.
4. Related information There are also many middle-aged and elderly people in society who like to drink medicated wine.
There was a 62-year-old Chen. He heard that a fellow who knew traditional Chinese medicine had brewed medicinal wine with precious medicinal materials for more than decades, and it had miraculous effects on rheumatoid arthritis, so he bought a bottle and took it home to try it.
After only a small sip when he got home, Lao Chen felt dizzy and chest tight.
Thinking that he was too drunk, he hurriedly picked up the food and served the meal. Within a moment, his face turned blue, his heart beat faster, and he broke into a cold sweat.
The family rushed him to a nearby hospital, but fortunately, doctors saved his life.
The doctor said it was typical drug and alcohol poisoning.
Medicinal wine may contain the ingredient "Caowu (Aconite)", and the poisoning dose is very similar to the amount of Aconite. Drinking even a little bit of it can be life-threatening.
In daily life, many people use aconite to make medicinal wine, but they must use processed aconite to reduce its toxicity. In addition to aconite, there are other traditional Chinese medicines that are also toxic. Therefore, when making your own medicinal wine, you must follow the instructions of a doctor or pharmacist.
