The raw rehmannia glutinosa contained in raw rehmannia root can maintain the body's stability and has a significant anti-tumor effect. It can also induce the proliferation of the body's immune cells and enhance its ability to destroy tumor cells. So what are the taboos and side effects of raw rehmannia glutinosa? Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Groups that should avoid taking Rehmannia root: Because Rehmannia root is cold in nature, it should not be taken by people with spleen deficiency, diarrhea, or stomach deficiency and poor appetite. People with weak and cold constitution should avoid taking it as much as possible. People with yang deficiency, irritability and constipation should not take it, otherwise it will cause the effect of increasing water and causing trouble for the boat.

Taboos in combination: Raw Rehmannia should not be taken together with radish, onion root, leek, and leek. Raw Rehmannia root should not be soaked in copper or iron containers, otherwise it will greatly affect the efficacy of raw Rehmannia root.

Contraindications: Do not take for a long time. Although Shengdihuang has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, nourishing yin and promoting body fluid, long-term use of Shengdihuang will cause internal heat, which will lead to septicemia, so it cannot be taken for a long time. If we take such Chinese herbal medicine for a long time, the impact on us will be very great, which will easily make us get internal heat, and may also cause septicemia. The harm of such symptoms is very large, so we must be careful and pay attention to it.

The most critical side effect of raw Rehmannia is allergic symptoms. Because cooked rehmannia contains a variety of glycogen substances, and it is made with wine, occasional patients may cause allergic symptoms. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, palpitations, itchy face, ring-shaped wheals that spread from the neck to the trunk and limbs. The rash is higher than the surface of the skin and is scattered throughout the body. Therefore, we must use medication and anti-allergic drugs.

Rehmannia root also has the effects of adjusting growth hormone metabolism, lowering blood lipids, delaying aging, calming down, and promoting urination. Although cooked rehmannia is rich in nutrients, its sticky nature hinders digestion and absorption. Therefore, it is not suitable for people with spleen and stomach deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis, cough with excessive sputum, abdominal distension, poor appetite and loose stools.

After reading our introduction, everyone must have a better understanding of Rehmannia glutinosa. It can be found that Chinese herbal medicine with excellent health-preserving effects like Rehmannia glutinosa also has certain side effects when taken. This is a taboo that we need to be careful about when taking it, and try to reduce such situations, otherwise it will cause harm to the human body.
