Dandelion in addition to a good and very common Chinese medicine, or a very good class of vegetables and a variety of effects and functions and methods of consumption, such as raw, cold, pickled, fried and other methods of consumption. After now scientific research found that dandelion can also be made into dandelion coffee, dandelion wine, dandelion pastries and other food.
The side effects of dandelion are introduced: the medicine is poisonous, so we should know that any drug, even if the efficacy is very good, it will have a poisonous side, so we must pay attention to the symptoms of the medication, comply with the doctor's instructions. Dandelion is also the same, dandelion is a herb, can be used for both food and medicine, but after modern scientific research found that dandelion also has contraindications, especially for the yang deficiency cold, spleen and stomach weak friends must pay attention to do not consume dandelion, otherwise it will trigger some unnecessary symptoms.
Side effects of dandelion 1. Overdose After regular dosage of decoction, occasional gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and mild diarrhea. Large dose (30g/kg) infusion of decoction for 3 days, can be seen in experimental rabbits hepatocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells, mild turbid swelling, renal tubules narrowed, other no obvious changes. In subacute toxicity test in mice and rabbits, a small amount of tubular pattern can be seen in the urine, and the renal tubular epithelial cells are turbidly swollen.
Side effects of dandelion 2. The main reason is that cold and heat are not differentiated, and dandelion is abused to treat various infections without recognizing the evidence. Most of the infections seen in the clinic are hot, and dandelion is generally not an adverse reaction. However, a small number of infections belong to the yin-cold syndrome, without heat symptoms, the course of the disease is longer, and the patient's body is weak. I have seen some people use large doses of dandelion to treat the cold Yin syndrome, the results of the patient appeared loss of appetite, lethargy, fatigue, sweating, pallor. The infected foci did not show any signs of improvement. The role of dandelion in clearing heat and removing toxins is simply regarded as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and abused, which will produce adverse reactions.
Dandelion side effects 3. Allergic reaction After taking dandelion boiled Chinese medicine, dandelion wine, some individual will appear some measles or itching and other symptoms, which is the allergic phenomenon of dandelion. Occasionally, some people will have symptoms such as generalized cold, pale face and blue lips after using dandelion injection, which is also an allergic phenomenon.
