What are the side effects of Pangdahai

Although Sterculia lychnophora has medicinal value, we also need to pay attention to the fact that the side effects of Sterculia lychnophora cannot be ignored. In particular, long-term consumption of Sterculia lychnophora contains certain toxins that will threaten our health.

1. Plantago ovata is sweet and cold in nature , and has the effects of opening up lung qi, clearing lung heat, moistening the intestines and relieving constipation, relieving sore throat and detoxifying, etc. It is especially suitable for "opening the voice and curing dullness". It is often used clinically to treat sudden hoarseness of voice accompanied by cough, thirst, sore throat or hoarseness caused by loud shouting. Therefore, some people regard Sterculia lychnophora as a panacea for treating hoarseness, and even take Sterculia lychnophora as a health drink. Doing so has the opposite effect, causing many adverse reactions, including coldness in the spleen and stomach, loose stools, decreased appetite, abdominal distension and discomfort, and even weight loss.

2. Sterculia lychnophora can be used as both medicine and food , but after all, "all medicines are poisonous to the point of poison". Drinking Sterculia lychnophora without identifying the cause of the disease or according to your physical condition will be harmful to your health. Plantago ovata is different from other edible and medicinal varieties such as lily, lotus seeds and red beans. It is a pure Chinese medicine. When drinking, the toxins need to be excreted through the kidneys and liver. If you drink it for a long time, it will bring burden to the kidney and liver system.

3. Ancient pharmacological studies have confirmed that the medicinal properties of Sterculia lychnophora are cool, which can promote small intestinal peristalsis and produce a mild laxative effect. However, drinking Sterculia lychnophora for a long time and in excess will cause spleen and stomach weakness, leading to side effects such as diarrhea, reduced appetite, chest tightness, and weight loss. People with poor stomachs will show it more clearly. For patients who already have diarrhea, if they take Pandanus lychnophora for a short time, the condition will be further aggravated. The allergic reactions caused by it may be numerous, such as itchy skin all over the body, swollen lips, dizziness, palpitations, nausea, etc., which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

4. To be precise, Sterculia lychnophora can only be used for medicinal purposes, and it must be "used according to the symptoms and stopped when it works." For example, for acute tonsillitis, use 3 to 5 pieces of Sterculia lychnophora, soak them in boiling water for two or three days, and stop using it after the symptoms are relieved. For dry sore throat and hoarseness caused by wind-heat cold, use 5 pieces of Sterculia lychnophora and 3 grams of licorice to make tea for two or three days. If it works, you should stop taking it. If it doesn't work, see a doctor immediately.
