Can children eat Polygonum multiflorum?

Polygonum multiflorum has always been regarded as a relatively good tonic and health-care herb, and it is also very effective in treating some existing diseases in the body. However, I hope that everyone can pay more attention when using these hardware herbs, because many times the herbs you use may be counterproductive if the situation does not allow it. So let me introduce to you the issue of whether children can eat Polygonum multiflorum.

Children's immunity is relatively lower than that of adults. Not only in terms of immunity, but also in other aspects, their qualities are relatively poor. Therefore, some things, especially nourishing foods, are not suitable for children to take, because things that are good for adults may not have a good effect on children, on the contrary, they may harm children. So, can children eat Polygonum multiflorum? Are there any side effects?

Polygonum multiflorum, also known as black-liver stone, red-shou stone, and night-blooming vine, belongs to the Polygonaceae family. It is a perennial twining herb. People often pick its tender stems and leaves in spring and stir-fry them, and pick its tubers in autumn, wash them and cook them into porridge. It has excellent health-care effects. Polygonum multiflorum is also known as Shouwu and Dijing. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Polygonum multiflorum tastes bitter and sweet, is slightly warm in nature, and enters the liver and kidney meridians. The efficacy, functions and eating methods of Polygonum multiflorum have attracted the attention of many people. Its efficacy and functions are mainly manifested in nourishing blood and yin, moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, and detoxifying. It can be used to assist in the treatment of diseases such as dizziness due to blood deficiency, palpitations and insomnia, tinnitus, and spermatorrhea.

Because Polygonum multiflorum has the effects of strengthening the brain and intelligence, lowering blood lipids, preventing and alleviating atherosclerosis, enhancing immune function, strengthening the heart, protecting the liver, and anti-aging, children can take it in moderation, but not too much. It is unlikely to have an immediate effect on children, but it will not cause any harm to the body. If you feel any discomfort, you should take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor and never take medicine without authorization to avoid adverse consequences.

Paying attention to the knowledge and understanding of these common sense can achieve the best results for our physical health. We also hope that everyone can pay more attention to their physical health in daily life. If you really need to use these medicinal materials, you can also consult a professional doctor and follow the doctor's medication advice.
