2 the historical origin of Chinese herbal medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is a unique medicine used by various Chinese herbal medicines to prevent and treat diseases, and it is also an important symbol that Chinese medicine is different from other medicines. For thousands of years, people in China have been exploring Chinese herbal medicines.

It is a typical "Chinese herbal medicine nephropathy", and those with severe conditions need lifelong hemodialysis treatment or kidney transplantation.

The main medicinal materials containing aristolochic acid are Aristolochia, Aristolochia manshuriensis, Sinomenine, Stephania tetrandra and Asari. Chinese patent medicines include Longdan Xiegan Pill, Bazheng Powder, Paishi Granule and Guanxin Suhe Pill.

Senecio scandens contains unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which will cause serious damage to the kidney.

2. Liver injury

Senecio scandens contains unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which will cause serious damage to the liver.

Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and Toosendan Fructus can damage the liver to varying degrees, leading to toxic hepatitis.

Rhubarb can interfere with bilirubin metabolism pathway, lead to jaundice, and cause liver cell degeneration.

Sichuan and Shaanxi, Alisma orientalis, Golden Ring, heliotrope and Poria cocos all have hepatotoxicity, which can cause liver injury.

3. Carcinogenesis

Academician Ceng Yi of China Academy of Sciences and others have studied 1693 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and plants since 1992, and found that 52 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and plants contain cancer-promoting substances.

For example, Chinese herbal medicines such as Impatiens balsamina, Belamcanda, Achyranthes bidentata, Aquilaria Resinatum, Daphne genkwa, Stellera chamaejasme, Croton, Euphorbia helioscopia, Radix Kansui, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, Lysimachiae Christinae, Sappan, Datura stramonium and Sapium sebiferum all contain cancer-promoting substances.

The alkaloids contained in Senecio scandens, Ji Nong and Crotalaria are strong carcinogens.

Cycadoside contained in Cycas, hydrolyzed arecoline contained in Areca catechu, Acorus gramineus, Illicium verum, Fennel, Cinnamon, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Bee-head Tea, Radix Astragali, and safrole contained in Asarum are all carcinogens.

Aristolochic acid is also a potential carcinogen, which can cause lymphoma, kidney cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer and lung cancer.

Farfara contains carcinogens, which can cause liver cancer.

Nitrate is mainly composed of nitrate, which can be converted into nitro compounds to induce liver cancer.

4. Central nervous system injury

Cinnabar whose main component is mercury sulfide can cause mercury poisoning, and realgar whose main component is arsenic sulfide can cause arsenic poisoning and damage the central nervous system. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines such as Qizhen Pill, Angong Niuhuang Pill, Ginseng Zaizao Pill, etc.

The main component is arsenic sulfide realgar, which damages nerves and blood vessels and can cause fatty degeneration, necrosis and canceration of liver, kidney, spleen and myocardium. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Niuhuang Jiedu Pill, Xiaoer Qingre Tablet and Angong Niuhuang Pill.

Petunia can damage the nervous system.

5. Toxic and side effects of blood system

Taking Radix Isatidis for a long time will damage the kidney, and can lead to internal bleeding and damage hematopoietic function.

Scolopendra mainly contains histamine-like substances and hemolytic proteins, two toxic components similar to melittic acid. Excessive use can cause hemolysis and anaphylactic shock.

Hirudo contains hirudin, which can prevent the action of thrombin and renal toxicity, and cause visceral hemorrhage and renal damage.

Coptidis Rhizoma and Cortex Phellodendri contain berberine, which can cause neonatal hemolysis in pregnant women and acute hemolysis and severe jaundice in children.

6. The side effects of most traditional Chinese medicines are often complicated and multifaceted.

For example, saikosaponin, the main component of Bupleurum, can lead to adrenal hypertrophy and thymus atrophy, reduce human immune function, and has nephrotoxicity, which can damage the kidney.

Ephedra can cause hypertension, palpitation, nerve injury, myopathy, stroke, insanity and memory loss, which may be fatal and hepatotoxic.

Dioscorea zingiberensis contains toxic components such as dioscin and diosgenin, which has toxic effects on central nervous system, heart, liver and kidney and can cause toxic hepatitis.

Kansui has a strong stimulating effect on mucosa, causing inflammation, congestion and increased peristalsis, and has the functions of coagulating and dissolving red blood cells, paralyzing respiratory and vascular motor centers, and contains carcinogens, which are toxic to kidneys.

Folium Artemisiae Argyi can damage the liver, central nervous system and blood vessels, leading to toxic hepatitis.

Xanthium sibiricum is toxic to the kidney, and it can die of respiratory, circulatory or renal failure in large doses.

Croton oil contains croton oil and croton oil toxin. The former has a strong corrosive effect and carcinogenic components, while the latter can dissolve red blood cells, causing local tissue degeneration and necrosis, bloody stool and hematuria, which is nephrotoxic and can lead to renal damage.
