You can eat beans when taking herbal medicines. Generally in the case of taking Chinese medicine, the consumption of beans will not affect human health. Beans are rich in protein and can provide more nutrients for the body. Appropriate intake of legumes will not affect the efficacy of the medicine and will help the body to restore health. When consuming legumes, care should be taken not to consume too much, as excessive intake may cause symptoms such as bloating, nausea (lack of appetite and reduced food intake). During the period of taking Chinese medicine, one should maintain a light diet, avoiding cold, oily, spicy and stimulating foods. If you need to consume legumes during the period of taking Chinese medicine, you can be instructed by your doctor to avoid reducing the effect of the medicine or causing discomfort to your body.
