Who should not eat Polygonatum sibiricum and what should be paid attention to

1. Who should not eat Polygonatum?

Polygonatum sibiricum is a medicine that replenishes both Qi and Yin, just like a large piece of coal. If the spleen and stomach are not damp and cold, the medicinal power can be absorbed. You can imagine it as a big fire burning the coal to replenish itself. However, it should never be used if the spleen and stomach are weak and cold or have dampness, because it cannot absorb and distribute the power of Polygonatum to replenish qi and yin, but will aggravate the deficiency and cold of the spleen and stomach. This is like using a small match flame to burn coal. Once the coal is pressed down, the fire goes out, and the fire cannot be replenished and instead it gets hurt. Therefore, people with cold stomach should try not to eat it. Cold stomach not only means insufficient middle yang, but also weak heart yang. It is not suitable for Huangjing, which can replenish the essence of both qi and yin.
