Chinese medicines have side effects.
Chinese medicine mainly includes animal drugs, plant drugs, mineral drugs and some chemical drugs, biological drugs and so on. It is a substance used for the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of diseases under the guidance of Chinese medicine theory, and has the ability to enable the human body to recover and health care.
Both botanical and other drugs have their own specific medicinal properties. The medicinal properties include the toxicity of the drug itself, and its direct use can produce significant side effects on the human body. For example, the direct use of drugs such as Croton and Chuanwu may cause liver and kidney function damage, or even life-threatening.
Therefore, before the use of traditional Chinese medicine, the drugs will be processed and concocted to reduce the toxicity of the drugs. In addition, according to the different needs of the disease, more than two kinds of drugs will be selected to be used together. The combination of two or more drugs can also reduce the toxicity of the drugs.
In summary, Chinese medicine has certain side effects. Chinese medicine should be used rationally under the guidance of physicians.
