About aconitum Chinese medicinal herbs such as grass wu and attached tablets
How much do you know?
Let's find out
(Yellow) What is the grass wu and the appendage?
(Yellow) grass wu, Chuan wu is the mother root of the perennial herb Yellow grass wu or aconitum in the ranunculaceae family, and the appendage is the processed product of its sub-root, which is a large poisonous medicinal material, containing a variety of alkaloids such as Dian Wu Alkali, Aconitine, Subcontinine, Neo Aconitine, etc., which are extremely toxic to the human body.
Chinese medicinal materials such as grass wu and adjutate are highly toxic due to the content of aconitine and oral aconitine 0.2 mg can be poisoned, 3-5 mg can be fatal, ordinary processing methods are difficult to destroy its toxicity. If the self-processing and consumption of poisonous Chinese medicinal materials such as grass and appendages is improper, it can easily lead to serious arrhythmias, respiratory failure, shock and even death, and the average annual number of aconitum poisoning incidents in Yunnan Province is as high as more than 30.

However, at present, when families or invite relatives and friends to cook (yellow) grass and appendages together, one is to directly use highly toxic and unconcoiled fresh medicinal materials, the second is that the dosage far exceeds the dosage specified in the drug standard, and the third is that the cooking process cannot completely convert the toxic ingredients, so the risk of poisoning is extremely high.
