Symptoms of a dandelion allergy

Dandelion is a common wild vegetable, and it is also a Chinese herbal medicine. It can play a good therapeutic role in clearing away heat and detoxifying, removing fire and swelling. Of course, not everyone can eat dandelions. For some people with sensitive constitutions, do not eat dandelions, because such people may experience allergic symptoms after eating them. For example, it may cause a cold complexion, paleness, etc., which are common symptoms of allergies.

Symptoms of a dandelion allergy

After taking traditional Chinese medicine made from dandelions or dandelion wine, some people may experience symptoms such as hives or itching all over the body. This is an allergic reaction to dandelions. Occasionally, some people will experience symptoms such as cold body, pale face, and purple lips after using dandelion injection, which is also an allergic phenomenon.

People who are allergic to dandelions should be careful

Medicinal dandelion is the dried whole herb. Although it has been processed, allergenic ingredients may still exist. Therefore, it is best not to use it, especially if you have severe allergies. The function of dandelion is to clear away heat, detoxify, eliminate carbuncles and disperse nodules. Other Chinese medicines with similar effects can be used instead. Dandelion is an herb that can be used as both medicine and food, but modern scientific research has found that dandelion also has contraindications. Therefore, when taking it, you must pay attention to taking the right medicine and follow the doctor's instructions. Especially for those who suffer from yang deficiency, external cold, and weak spleen and stomach, they must be careful not to eat dandelions, otherwise it will cause some unnecessary symptoms.

Two points to note when using dandelion

1. Dandelion cannot be eaten with honeysuckle. Both dandelion and honeysuckle have good medicinal value, but their ingredients conflict with each other. If eaten together, they will make people feel tired, weak and drowsy, so dandelion and honeysuckle cannot be eaten together. 2. Dandelion cannot be eaten with spicy and hot ingredients. Dandelion is a very cold ingredient and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It cannot be eaten with other spicy and hot ingredients. If the properties of the two ingredients are in conflict at the same time, it will not only reduce the efficacy of dandelion but also cause side effects such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.
