There is a saying that "three drugs are toxic". Any kind of Chinese medicine and western medicine should be eaten according to the prescribed dose. Excessive consumption will also become "poisoned chicken soup"; Aconite is a poisonous traditional Chinese medicine. Although I don't know where they can buy so much, it should be well known that aconite is poisonous.
Traditional Chinese medicine is close to the human food chain and plays an important role in daily health care, so it has always been considered relatively safe. Especially in recent years, with more and more people's awareness of health preservation, the report of toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine has attracted social attention.
Summary of the incident: According to media reports, four men in Nanning originally added 250 grams of aconite (a Chinese herbal medicine) to the chicken stew, and four people were poisoned after drinking chicken soup.
It is understood that the four men are between 40 and 60 years old, and three of them have serious discomfort symptoms: nausea and vomiting, chest tightness and palpitations, weakness of limbs, numbness of corners of the mouth and so on.
According to the doctor's appraisal, the added aconite was seriously overdone. Fortunately, after timely treatment, four people have recovered.
I have something to say about this matter:
First, aconite should be used well, carefully and not abused. Aconitum carmichaeli has always been an important medicine for restoring yang to save adverse events and reinforcing fire to help yang. Also known as Aconitum or Aconitum, alias: Aconitum kusnezoffii, Aconitum salt, etc. Pungent heat is pure yang, and its toxicity is fierce.
Raw aconite should be decocted 1~2 hours, and the dosage is 3 ~ 15g. Moreover, clinics or pharmacies generally do not sell so much to customers, and generally need legal Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe Chinese medicine. Even if some informal shops secretly sell them, they will generally tell you the time and dosage of decocting. Because it is related to people's lives, we should be cautious and cautious! But it does not rule out that there are some profiteers who are desperate for benefits.
Therefore, in daily life, if you want to go to a regular clinic or pharmacy to buy medicine, you must take the initiative to ask some related matters to avoid such accidents.

Second, why is usage and dosage so important? I believe everyone has heard that any kind of medicine, whether traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine, should be taken under the orders of doctors or licensed pharmacists. Don't go too far
Which prescription is the best for old Chinese medicine practitioners? It must be a proper dose of Chinese medicine, otherwise everyone thinks that he can be an old Chinese doctor with a book on febrile diseases. Undoubtedly, to become an old Chinese medicine practitioner, we must have a very accurate grasp of the dosage of Chinese medicine. Some Chinese medicines are even accurate to a few grams, and there is no difference.
Suppose further that if four men in Nanning go to a hospital or a pharmacy to buy yang-tonifying drugs, firstly, aconite with strong toxicity is definitely not recommended, because it is troublesome to fry, and secondly, they are afraid of taking it by mistake once they eat it wrong. At this time, "Fuzi Lizhong Pill" or "Guifu Dihuang Pill" will generally be recommended first. Doctors or pharmacists usually make it clear that because it contains aconite, sexual heat is toxic, so it is necessary to stop taking the medicine halfway, and it is not allowed to take it excessively or for a long time.
So the usage and dosage of traditional Chinese medicine is very important! Good use is tonic, bad use is poison.
3. What should I do if I take a lot of aconite or other toxic drugs? 1. You should dial 120 immediately. Then take a sample of the food or package it inside and outside, so that doctors can know what medicine it is in a shorter time and prescribe the right medicine to reduce the time of investigation.
2. Before the doctor arrives, you can induce vomiting. It is best to stimulate the root of the tongue with your fingers or chopsticks in a safe way, so as to make it nauseous and spit out the contents of your stomach.
Four. Related information There are also many middle-aged and elderly people in society who like to drink medicinal liquor. Before, there was a 62-year-old Chen who heard that a fellow villager who knew Chinese medicine had soaked medicinal liquor with precious herbs for decades, which had a miraculous effect on rheumatoid arthritis, so he bought a bottle and tried it at home.
After only one sip at home, Mr. Chen felt dizzy and chest tightness. Thinking that the wine was too strong, I quickly served the food. After a while, my face turned blue, my heart beat faster and I was sweating all over. His family rushed him to a nearby hospital, but fortunately, he was saved by the doctor.
The doctor said it was a typical medicated wine poisoning. Medicinal liquor may contain "Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata)", and the poisoning dose is very close to that of Radix Aconiti Lateralis, so it is life-threatening if you drink it slightly.
In daily life, many people soak medicinal liquor with aconite, but we must use processed aconite to reduce its toxicity. Besides aconite, other traditional Chinese medicines are also poisonous. Therefore, when preparing medicinal liquor, you must listen to the usage and dosage of doctors or pharmacists.
Conclusion: this incident also gives us a warning: at any time, don't blindly believe in folk remedies, don't go to informal clinics, and strictly follow the doctor's advice and use drugs rationally.
