1. Function

Fried Scutellaria baicalensis is also called roasted Astragalus, which is usually made by cutting raw Astragalus into slices. Its effects are similar to those of Astragalus membranaceus. Both have the functions and effects of replenishing Qi and blood, generating Yang, invigorating Qi and suppressing sweat, releasing pus and removing toxins, and promoting dampness and relieving swelling. However, fried Scutellaria baicalensis is mostly used to strengthen the spleen and blood, and the effect of replenishing qi, blood and lungs will also be enhanced. It has a good effect on symptoms such as physical fatigue, physical weakness and sweating. Doctors often use fried Scutellaria baicalensis to treat patients with symptoms such as "sinking of the middle qi and relaxation of internal organs". The dampness and heat of fried Scutellaria baicalensis is higher than that of raw Astragalus, so taking too much is very likely to cause internal heat disease.

2. Taboo

1. Do not take too much fried Scutellaria baicalensis. Since the clearing and nourishing effect of fried Scutellaria baicalensis is enhanced, excessive consumption will cause symptoms of getting angry, which may have unnecessary effects on the human body.

2. Patients with yang deficiency, cold and dampness, and severe heat and toxicity should not take Scutellaria baicalensis. Because Scutellaria baicalensis has the effect of invigorating qi and strengthening the body, patients with yang deficiency and excessive internal fire will have their condition aggravated after taking it, which is not good for their physical and mental health.

3. Do not take Scutellaria baicalensis during pregnancy, menstruation, or when you have a fever or cold. Scutellaria baicalensis is commonly used to treat symptoms such as sweating, so it is not suitable for consumption when you have a fever or a cold. Because taking Scutellaria baicalensis will not help the body to sweat a lot, it will prevent the body from excreting pathogens out of the body and increase the time of recovery. It is not suitable to take Scutellaria baicalensis during pregnancy and menstrual period, as it will cause great harm to the human body.
