Drinking Chuanxiong in water has the effect of activating blood circulation and relieving pain (relieving pain by removing blood stasis), but it cannot cure diseases.
Chuanxiong is pungent in flavor and warm in nature, and can be used clinically to treat chest paralysis (stuffy pain in the chest) caused by stagnation of blood stasis, coercive and rib pain, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, bruises, rheumatism and paralysis, and other conditions.
In daily life, when Chuanxiong is brewed and consumed as tea, it can be used to invigorate blood circulation, dispel wind and relieve pain (dissipate wind evils and relieve pain in the muscles and bones), which is beneficial to the human body.
Excessive dosage or improper use of Chuanxiong may cause adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, chest tightness, and itching of the skin. Note that it should be used with caution in patients with headache caused by hyperactivity of liver yang (excessive liver yang, causing dizziness, dizziness, headache and other symptoms), patients with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yin and fire (deficiency of yin and essence in the body, resulting in hyperactivity of deficiency and fire), women with excessive menstruation and bleeding disorders without blood stasis, and is contraindicated for use in pregnant women.
However, the active ingredients are limited when drinking Chinese medicine in water, and cannot replace the therapeutic effect of the medicine. If the above symptoms occur, patients should go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the physician standardized treatment, not unauthorized use of drugs.
