The liver is the "chemical factory" of the human body, whether it is food or medicine, what we eat will be metabolized and decomposed by the liver, so the damage to the liver by drugs is also the most serious. In the inherent concept of many people, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are smaller than western medicine, and today Xiaobian will wake up for everyone, and the improper use of traditional Chinese medicine will also become a "black hand" for liver injury.
Eating He Shou Wu became "rhubarb" Hair was not black and hurt the liver
Mr. Wang, who is in his 40s, is a civil servant in Wuhan, and although he is not very old, he was born early.
He heard others say that He Shou Wu had the effect of black hair, so he bought He Shou Wu to make tea and drink. What he did not expect was that after drinking for more than twenty days, not only did his hair not turn black, but his whole body turned abnormally yellow, and even his urine was strangely yellow.
Mr. Wang rushed to the nearest hospital to see a doctor, but after a few days of treatment, there was no effect, so he was transferred to the Infection Department of the Hubei Provincial Armed Police Corps Hospital.
After examination by doctor Zhang Bo, he found that Mr. Wang had developed severe jaundice because he ate He Shou Wu raw, which induced drug-induced liver damage.
After more than half a month of symptomatic treatment for liver protection and yellowing, Mr. Wang recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Taking Chinese herbs should be done under the guidance of a doctor
The doctor said that He Shou Wu had a raw He Shou Wu and a he Shou Wu, and this patient had liver damage because he had accidentally eaten He Shou Wu.
Song Shiling, director of the infectious disease department, said that unauthorized consumption of Chinese herbal medicines can produce adverse results.
In the clinic, there are many patients with liver failure who suffer from drug-induced liver damage in the early stage, and they often think that Chinese herbal medicines have no side effects, so they eat them without consulting doctors and professionals, which has led to serious consequences for many years.
Doctors remind that if you want to use Chinese herbal medicines for health care, it is best to take it symptomatically under the guidance of a doctor so as not to damage the health of the liver.
