Strong medicinal properties

One of the side effects of Xiangfu is that its medicinal properties are too strong. The reason why many women take such medicine is that they are weak or have poor physical constitution. However, the nature of this drug is quite strong. Many people will not only feel dizzy and have stomach pain after drinking it, but may also vomit. The editor recommends that if you have such a strong reaction to this medicine, you can drink more water to dilute the medicinal properties in your stomach to alleviate the uncomfortable reaction.

No disease

Many people have heard that Xiangfu has a significant regulating effect on women's bodies. Therefore, even though they do not have any disease or pain in their bodies, they still insist on eating Xiangfu for conditioning. If this is the case, our Xiangfu will exert its toxicity, and its original functions of regulating qi, ventilating the body, and regulating menstruation will be lost. Therefore, don't pursue health preservation too much and let the side effects of Xiangfu bother you.

People with weak constitution

Many people are unaware of their physical weakness. They usually feel sleepy for no reason, or sweat frequently, or women have a pale complexion. These people are not suitable to take Xiangfu.

If the person is physically weak, it is obviously impossible to fully absorb the medicinal properties, and the side effects of Xiangfu will be released at this time. Therefore, if you want to take Xiangfu with confidence, it is best to understand your own physical condition first.
