What are the side effects of isatis root?

Banlangen is a regular family medicine for many people, and some people even need two packs of medicine if they are sick or not. In fact, Radix Isatidis can not drink indiscriminately, random drinking will produce side effects, harmful to human health.

Radix Isatidis has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, and has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on common diseases such as cold, influenza, mumps, pinkeye, measles and so on. But Radix Isatidis is cold, bitter, and effective for wind-hot colds, but incapable of wind-cold colds.

Five major side effects of abuse by Radix Isatidis

1. Some people drink Banlangen granule as tea to prevent colds, or treat them with Banlangen. In fact, Radix Isatidis can not prevent and cure all colds, especially for wind-cold and Yin deficiency colds.

2. Healthy people who take too much Radix Isatidis will hurt the spleen and stomach. Long-term oral administration can lead to loss of appetite, weight loss, mental fatigue, salivation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and so on.

3. If children take too much of the bitter cold Radix Isatidis, it will cause stomach qi damage. When children take Radix Isatidis, do not use adult doses, let alone long-term large doses.

4, physical deficiency cold, usually afraid of cold, spleen and stomach disharmony and prone to diarrhea, it is more inappropriate to use Banlangen granule to prevent colds, otherwise it will lead to chills, stomachache, loss of appetite and other symptoms.

5. Radix Isatidis can also cause skin allergic reactions and adverse reactions of digestion and hematopoietic system. The allergic reactions caused by Radix Isatidis injection are mainly dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, vomiting, lip blue and purple, conjunctival congestion, eye pain, palpitation, irritability, limb numbness, systemic skin flushing, itching, rash or urticaria, which can cause anaphylactic shock and even life-threatening.

However, experts believe that although the efficacy of Banlangen is good, Banlangen also has side effects, and it is not suitable for everyone.

Some traditional Chinese medicine experts said that SARS, seasonal influenza and influenza A h1n1 influenza are all respiratory diseases caused by viruses, so the mechanism of action is anti-virus. However, Radix Isatidis lacks strict evidence of evidence-based medicine against influenza, and only stays on the clinical experience accumulated in specific cases over the years. Experience has proved that the traditional Chinese medicine Radix Isatidis may act on human cells to protect it from the virus, or improve the immune function of the human body.

At present, it has not been proved that Radix Isatidis has a therapeutic effect on influenza A h1n1. The main way for the public to prevent influenza A h1n1 influenza is to adhere to a normal diet and rest, maintain normal immunity, and seek medical treatment in time when symptoms occur.

Two large-scale virus epidemics have proved that Radix Isatidis can not prevent and treat hepatitis An and SARS, and should not be misused or multi-used, but because Radix Isatidis is combined with other drugs, it still has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of influenza, Japanese encephalitis and mumps.

According to the study on the antiviral mechanism of Radix Isatidis, it is found for the first time that Radix Isatidis has the function of scavenging endotoxin caused by dead bacteria and can act as a scavenger of endotoxin.

And Banlangen is not a "holy medicine", only to a certain extent to strengthen the human body's own immunity. As Radix Isatidis has the effect of antiviral, heat-clearing and detoxification, the side effects are very small. Taking Radix Isatidis during influenza can strengthen its immunity and anti-virus ability to a certain extent. When all aspects of human immunity are in good condition, the prevention and treatment of the virus will be stronger than those who are generally weak. Therefore, Banlangen is not the nemesis of influenza A h1n1, it can only enhance and strengthen the human body's immunity.
