Chinese medicine is not only very effective in treating acne, but also does not have too many side effects. It is a very good way to treat acne. So are there any contraindications when using traditional Chinese medicine to treat acne? Let us introduce it to you below.

Avoid foods that may affect the efficacy of the drug. For example, raw and cold food, strong tea, spicy and greasy food, radish, and fishy food. Some of these types of food will neutralize the medicinal power and reduce its efficacy, some will reduce absorption, and some will even have harmful effects. Therefore, when taking Chinese medicine, you must follow the doctor's advice and avoid certain foods.

It is not advisable to take Chinese medicine in excessive amounts or for a long time in pursuit of quick results. For example, Cassia seed has the effect of lowering blood lipids, but long-term use of Cassia seed may cause diarrhea. Long-term consumption of hay, which nourishes the spleen and replenishes qi and clears away heat and detoxifies, can cause high blood pressure. The folk proverb "All medicines are poisonous to some extent" is based on this principle.

People with special physical conditions should take Chinese medicine with caution. For example, people with weak spleen and stomach may experience symptoms such as stomach discomfort and intestinal rumbling after taking traditional Chinese medicine containing wild chrysanthemum. It is best to first consult a Chinese medicine practitioner or do a self-test to understand your physical condition. If you have a typical physical condition, you should understand the corresponding contraindications before taking Chinese medicine.

Pregnant women should be cautious when taking Chinese medicine. Because Western medicine may cause fetal malformations, many pregnant women prefer Chinese patent medicine. However, some Chinese patent medicines are definitely toxic. It is important to remember that pregnant women should be cautious about various types of medicines, such as those that clear heat, dispel wind and dampness, promote digestion and food intake, laxatives, regulate qi, invigorate the mind, repel parasites, and remove dampness.

Precautions in the process of decocting Chinese medicine. Most modern families use iron pots, stainless steel pots or non-stick pots. It is best not to use them to fry important foods, but to choose clay decoction pots or casseroles. Since decocting medicine is a long process, the use of metal products can easily cause certain drug ingredients and utensils to react, producing or releasing heavy metals that are harmful to the human body.

Any drug has some toxic side effects, some are more and some are less. In addition, when using drugs, you should pay attention to some conflicting taboos. Only by avoiding these taboo areas can the medicine exert its maximum effect in treating the disease. Only in this way can we get the best treatment for our diseases and reduce physical pain.
