Medication Contraindications
The entire plant of ze xie is toxic, especially the underground root. The dosage of ze xie is generally controlled within ten grams, because this Chinese medicinal material itself is toxic, although it has multiple effects, it can easily cause poisoning problems.
Moreover, all medicines have some degree of toxicity and side effects, so medication must be taken with caution. If possible, choose Chinese herbal medicines that have similar effects but are non-toxic, which can achieve better results.
It is best to use ze xie in minimal quantities. When boiling Chinese herbal medicine, follow the dosage instructions on the package and add the herbal medicine in a reasonable amount to avoid poisoning.
