Baijili, a traditional Chinese medicine, has very strong medicinal properties and is used to treat some difficult-to-cure diseases. However, we also need to be extra cautious about the side effects of baijili itself!
【Compatibility and Usage of Baijili】
1. Compatibility with Shouwu
Shouwu nourishes the liver and kidneys, nourishes the essence and blood; baijili clears and soothes the liver, improves vision, and promotes blood circulation. When these two medicines are used together, they nourish the liver and kidneys, dispel wind evil, and are mainly used to treat headaches, dizziness, and premature graying of hair.
2. Compatibility with Huanpi
Huanpi calms the mind, dispels stasis, reduces swelling, and relieves pain; baijili soothes the liver and relieves depression. When these two medicines are used together, they treat blood deficiency and liver depression, chest and rib pain, enlarged liver and spleen, and itching all over the body.
3. Compatibility with Chujuhua
Both medicines can soothe the liver and improve vision. Baijili is more focused on dispersing liver depression, while Chujuhua is more focused on clearing liver heat. When these two medicines are combined, one is strong and the other is gentle, one clears and the other disperses. They complement each other and have the greatest effect on soothing the liver and improving vision. They are effective for treating symptoms such as liver yang disturbance, dizziness, dispelling wind and heat, or headaches caused by liver depression turning into heat.
【Side Effects of Baijili】
When taken at normal doses, baijili has very few side effects. Therefore, it is always advisable to take this herbal supplement as directed by a doctor.
In addition, we should also know that pregnant women and children have relatively poor physical constitution and weak resistance to the side effects of baijili. Therefore, we do not recommend pregnant women and children to take baijili in their daily lives.
The common side effects that can be observed when taking baijili are nausea and vomiting. However, these are temporary symptoms that can be controlled through diet. Some women may also experience changes in their voices, which may be related to changes in hormone levels.
Emotional instability is another side effect associated with baijili. Some users may also experience excessive growth of body and facial hair. Excessive testosterone is the main cause of these side effects.
In addition, if we frequently take baijili in excessive amounts, it may sometimes lead to lung damage. This can be very harmful to our lungs, so it is better for friends with poor lung health not to take baijili.
