Side effects of Gotu Kola

Nowadays, there are many female friends who pursue beauty. They are very strict about their own diet, and losing weight is their ultimate goal. This idea is more prominent especially in early spring and summer. Therefore, because female friends are eager to lose weight, they often choose some weight loss methods that may not be suitable for themselves. This not only cannot lose weight well, but also will harm their own body. Recently, I saw some people on the Internet saying that the weight loss effect of thunder god root is very good. In fact, how to say it, although thunder god root has certain weight loss effect, the side effects of this medicine are very large.

1. Gotu kola is a very cool plant, which can be often seen in coastal areas of China. Gotu kola tastes very bad when taken, and gives people a very bitter feeling. Generally speaking, Gotu kola has the effect of eliminating heat and toxins, but its medicinal value is very limited. This is not because its effect is small, but because its toxic side effects are large.

2. The toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii to humans is very large. Many hospitals in the south often receive patients who have been poisoned due to improper use of Tripterygium wilfordii. It is said to be very scary, and the toxicity of this drug is very large. Some people may be poisoned if they eat 2-3 leaves by mistake. The toxicity of this plant is greatest in the young leaves. If more than ten young leaves are eaten, the person basically has no hope of survival.

3. In general, doctors rarely use Gotu Kola because it is one of the Chinese herbal medicines with relatively greater toxic side effects, and its efficacy is not very great. If Gotu Kola must be taken under certain circumstances, a detailed liver and kidney function test should be done before taking it. It is determined whether the medicine can be taken according to the patient's physical condition.
