Many people often drink two bags of Banlangen when they catch a cold. However, Banlangen is not suitable for everyone and should be taken in a reasonable manner.
Banlangen is cold in nature and has a bitter taste. It is effective in clearing heat, detoxifying, cooling blood, and relieving sore throat. It is mainly used for fever, headache, and sore throat caused by warm diseases. Due to its bitter and cold nature, it is more suitable for wind-heat type of cold and not suitable for other types of cold, such as wind-cold. Overconsumption of Banlangen when in a healthy state can damage the spleen and stomach and may even lead to diseases. If one's constitution tends to be cold and weak, such as having a tendency for diarrhea and being afraid of cold, it is not suitable to drink too much Banlangen granules, and it is best not to exceed three days. Because its bitter and cold nature can cause a series of gastrointestinal reactions, such as stomach pain and loss of appetite. This is especially true for children whose spleen and stomach functions are not yet fully developed. Overconsumption of Banlangen is more likely to cause symptoms of indigestion. Furthermore, it should be avoided by those who are allergic to Banlangen. Most allergic reactions are caused by Banlangen injections, manifested as dizziness, shortness of breath, vomiting, palpitations, and rashes. Sometimes it can even lead to anaphylactic shock with a drop in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening if not treated in time. In addition, diabetic patients should not take Banlangen granules containing sugar without authorization.
