What do We Need to Pay Attention to When Eating Dried Ophiopogon Root?
Dried Ophiopogon root is a traditional Chinese medicinal material. Although Ophiopogonis Radix has a variety of health effects, some key matters should be paid attention to during consumption. Understanding these precautions can better realize the health value of Ophiopogonis Radix while reducing some unnecessary health risks.
The amount of dried Ophiopogonis Radix consumed needs to be strictly controlled. Dried Ophiopogon root is cold in nature, and excessive use may cause discomfort to the spleen and stomach. It is recommended to control the daily dosage at 10-15 grams, and it can be taken 2-3 times when soaking in water. The first time you take it, start with a small amount, observe the body's response and then gradually adjust. When taking it continuously for a long time, don't take it every day. After taking it for two weeks, pause for a few days before continuing.
Special people should take it carefully. People with poor physique should not eat in large quantities. They can be used with warm ingredients such as red dates and ginger to neutralize the cold. Pregnant women, menstrual women and infants should be used under the guidance of a physician. Patients who are taking Western medicine, especially hypoglycemic drugs, need to consult a doctor before taking it.
The method of consumption will also affect the effect. Ophiopogonis Radix is best brewed with warm water, boiling water may destroy some of the active ingredients. The soaking time is recommended to be 15-20 minutes. Soaking for too long will make the taste worse. Pay attention to coordination when pairing with other medicinal materials, and do not take them with medicinal materials of conflicting properties. Keep in a cool and dry place when storing, and the damp and moldy dried Ophiopogon root must be thrown away.
A few people will experience stomach discomfort or mild diarrhea after taking Ophiopogonis Radix, which is a common reaction in people with weak physiques. If you find allergic symptoms such as itchy skin, redness and swelling, stop immediately. If there is loss of appetite or other discomfort during taking, adjust the dosage or suspend consumption in time.
