Brother, can herbal medicine bought online be boiled and drunk by ourselves?

You shouldn’t drink it casually. Recently, an uncle wanted to lower his blood sugar, bought herbs online, and made a decoction himself. In the end, his heart stopped.

What? Aren’t herbal medicines supposed to nourish the body? How can they be so dangerous?

Because some herbs are toxic, like aconite. If used incorrectly, it can harm the heart. It may look like ‘health care,’ but it can actually be dangerous.

Then what should people do when they get sick?

Go to a正规 hospital and let a doctor prescribe medicine. Don’t trust livestreams, and don’t drink more based on your own judgment.

I understand now. Things bought online aren’t always safe.

Right. There’s a saying in China: ‘Every medicine has some toxicity.’ Learning to use medicine scientifically is the real way to care for your health.
