Is White Aconite poisonous?
If you have a certain understanding of Chinese herbal medicine, you will know that it is present in many herbal formulas. Chinese herbal pharmacists also add White Aconite appropriately based on the patient's physical condition when prescribing medicine.
Although White Aconite itself is slightly toxic, its toxicity is very weak. When combined with different Chinese herbal medicines, it does not harm the patient.
White Aconite is a toxic medicine, mainly manifested in its strong irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, when using White Aconite as a facial mask or preparing a self-made Seven Whites Powder, it is necessary to first test a small amount on the skin for any discomfort. If there are no obvious adverse reactions, it can be used, but long-term use is not recommended.
When taken orally, it should also be taken in small amounts, and the dosage should be controlled within the range of 3-6 grams. Of course, due to its toxicity, White Aconite should not be used by pregnant women.
