The side effect of "catharsis" must attract the attention of pregnant women. The latest research found that long-term drinking light will lead to irregular menstruation, and even make the endometrium abnormal, thus inducing premature delivery.
If it is from books or others say that cassia seed is used to treat myopia, then you are all wet.
Cassia seed does have the effect of clearing liver-fire and improving eyesight, so it is suitable for those with heavy liver fire or heat image, and absolutely not for those without obvious heat image and loose stools.
There are many eyesight-improving drugs in traditional Chinese medicine, such as Plantago asiatica, Lycium barbarum, Dendrobium nobile, silk-free seed, mother-of-pearl, chrysanthemum, cicada slough, concha Haliotidis, tribulus terrestris, cortex fraxini, and so on.
Specific medication needs to be combined with TCM syndrome differentiation, and it can't be used blindly. This is the biggest difference between using Chinese medicine and using western medicine.

2, the harm of cassia seed soaking in water, the effect of cassia seed
The harm of cassia seed soaking in water
Cassia seed is quite harmful to people with bad stomachs and should be avoided as much as possible in daily life.
Chinese medicine believes that cassia seed is cold, so some people who are prone to diarrhea, stomachache or stomachache should take it less.
In addition, some patients with low blood pressure and diarrhea should be careful to use preparations containing cassia seed.
Also, for pregnant people, we should be very careful about the consumption of cassia seed.
Because cassia seed has the effect of catharsis, women during pregnancy must not drink it, otherwise it will easily lead to premature delivery.
Usually, women need to pay special attention to taking cassia seed. If they take it for a long time, it will easily lead to poor menstruation and even abnormal endometrium.
Many people only saw the effect of cassia seed on improving eyesight after soaking in water on some internet and books, and thought that drinking it often could treat myopia well.
This idea is completely wrong, although it does have a good eyesight.
However, it is mainly aimed at the internal heat caused by excessive liver fire. If there is no obvious heat image in the body and there is a situation accompanied by loose stool, then it is definitely not edible.
Among many Chinese medicines, there are many Chinese medicines with eyesight improving effects, such as chrysanthemum, dodder, cicada slough, cortex fraxini, plantain seed, medlar, etc., all of which have very good eyesight improving effects, so we must dialectically make clear when using the medicine, and we should not blindly use the medicine.
The old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine told us that the biggest side effect of cassia seed should be its laxative effect.
Although this effect will not cause other problems under normal circumstances, if people with qi deficiency constitution take cassia seed, it will be greatly detrimental to their health.
The specific side effects that are easy to appear after taking cassia seed are as follows.
1, Cassia seed is cool, and it has the function of catharsis after taking it, so if some patients with poor spleen and stomach or spleen and stomach deficiency and low blood pressure take it, their condition will get worse and worse.
2. Modern medical research has found that cassia seed contains a lot of chrysophanol, emodin and other compounds, so if you take cassia seed for a long time, it will easily lead to intestinal lesions.
3. When soaking in water with cassia seed, you must choose the fried cassia seed for brewing, which is good for your health.
4. It should also be noted that pregnant women should not take the water soaked in cassia seed, because of the medicinal content of this traditional Chinese medicine, pregnant women are prone to miscarriage or premature delivery after taking it.
5, women can't take a lot of cassia seed for a long time, because cassia seed has a certain weight loss effect, so many women like to drink a mouthful of water soaked in cassia seed at any time every day, thinking that this has a good weight loss effect.
In fact, this is not a scientific function. If this method is maintained for a long time, women's fertility will be affected and menstruation will become irregular.
6. Be sure to pay attention to whether there will be adverse reactions when taking cassia seed daily. If there is abdominal distension, diarrhea and nausea and vomiting, you should stop taking it immediately. When the problem is serious, you need to go to hospital for treatment.

What role can Cassia seed, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch and Chenpi play?
Hawthorn and dried tangerine peel promote qi, stimulate appetite and promote digestion, while cassia seed clears the liver and improves eyesight. In the group, it is to clear the liver and promote digestion and promote qi, while licorice has the effects of invigorating spleen and qi, clearing away heat and toxic materials, eliminating phlegm and relieving cough, relieving pain and harmonizing various medicines. You can take it when you have indigestion and stagnation of liver qi. If you drink it in water, just grab a little of everything.

Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae mainly has the functions of regulating qi and resolving phlegm, Semen Cassiae has the effect of moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, Radix Glycyrrhizae has the effect of invigorating qi and strengthening spleen, and western medicine thinks that it has the side effect of retaining water.
