Are there any side effects to boiling loquat leaves in water? I believe many mothers have reservations about some folk remedies. After all, they have not been scientifically verified. How can they be given to their families or even their babies casually? I am afraid that it will have some side effects on the body, so will boiling loquat leaves in water have any side effects?
Loquat leaves themselves have no side effects. Mothers can rest assured. Although boiling water with loquat leaves can treat coughs, you should drink it in moderation. Because loquat leaves contain saponins, ursolic acid and other substances, drinking too much can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other problems.
In addition, drinking loquat water on an empty stomach will burden the gastrointestinal tract. Loquat leaves contain calcium oxalate, which is easy to precipitate. Drinking it on an empty stomach will cause constipation. Therefore, it is more appropriate to drink loquat leaf boiled water after meals.
I would also like to remind you that people with cold stomachs should not drink loquat boiled water. This is because loquat leaves are cold in nature. If people with spleen deficiency and stomach colds drink it often, they will become more deficient as they drink, and may even cause stomach problems. Discomfort!
