Especially in summer time, when dampness and heat combine, it may cause hot hands and feet (irritability and sultriness), steaming sweat, sticky sweat, easy to make clothes yellow, irritability, bitter taste in the mouth, yellow urine and other symptoms.

The adverse effects of the above prescriptions are not clear.
