White Aconite is harvested in autumn, the roots and outer skin are removed, and it is dried. Because it is toxic, it is generally used after being processed. In addition, White Aconite is also considered a magical tool in the beauty industry, but due to its inherent toxicity, it must be used with extra caution!
If you have a certain understanding of Chinese herbal medicine, you will know that it is present in many herbal prescriptions. Chinese pharmacists also add White Aconite appropriately based on the patient's physical condition when prescribing medication.
Although White Aconite itself is slightly toxic, its toxicity is very weak. When combined with different Chinese herbs during processing, it will not harm the patient.
White Aconite is a toxic drug, mainly manifested as strong irritability to the skin and mucous membranes. Therefore, if using White Aconite as an external face mask or using self-prepared Qi Bai San, you must first test a small amount on the skin to see if there is any discomfort. Only if there are no obvious adverse reactions should it be used, and it should not be used for a long time either.
For internal use, it should also be taken in small amounts, with a dosage range of 3-6 grams when decocted. Of course, due to its toxicity, pregnant women should not use White Aconite.
