Isatis root has been used to treat influenza for many years. It is also used by some people to treat tonsillitis. Many people also use it to prevent colds. Some time ago, I heard people say that isatis root is poisonous and drinking too much is not good. So let’s talk about this Let’s analyze it in this article!
Colds include hot colds and cold colds (please don’t criticize me if I’m a layperson). Since isatis root is cold, it must be used to treat heat. If you use cold to treat cold, wouldn’t it be adding insult to injury and adding cold to the cold? If you add cold, it will definitely not be good to eat. At this time, you feel that isatis root has side effects, which will be worse after eating it. Isatis root is "poisonous". First, you have to distinguish whether the cold is a heat syndrome or a cold syndrome, so that you can prescribe the right medicine and take the right medicine. That's fine. This can't be said to be "poisonous" isatis root, it can only be said that you took the wrong medicine!
In addition, when drinking medicine, you need to drink it into the stomach. Isatis root returns to the stomach meridian (understood as a special medicine for the stomach). The stomach must have heat. It doesn’t matter if you eat isatis root. It can clear away heat. But if the stomach Without heat, normal will no longer be normal. You can adjust it by eating one meal or three meals, but if you eat it for a long time, it will definitely hurt your stomach. It will cause stomach cold, stomach deficiency and stomach cold. Is this considered "poisonous"?
I have seen a case before: a man had a viral cold and diarrhea. He bought a bag of isatis root, went home, drank a bag, and started vomiting after drinking. It was a viral cold plus diarrhea. A middle-burned spleen and stomach are deficient in coldness, and if you drink a bag of cold medicine, you will vomit if you don't.
Sometimes when you have a minor illness, don’t think that you can just buy some medicine. Although Chinese patent medicines don’t have much side effects, if you take them wrongly, they won’t get better, and they will aggravate your condition, and even minor illnesses can lead to serious illnesses. .
