There is no such thing as “frequent consumption of Tongxuanlirongwan is harmful”.

For wind-cold cold caused by cough, cough phlegm, chills and fever, nasal congestion and runny nose, no sweat and body pain and other symptoms have a therapeutic effect.
2. Chinese medicine emphasizes “stopping the disease” (for drugs with strong medicinal properties, the disease should be stopped after the general healing, so as not to cause damage), it is not recommended to take the drug frequently after the disease is cured, so as not to cause excessive sweating, qi deficiency, fatigue and other adverse reactions, which will cause harm to the body.
3.
