Can elderly women take Bazhen Granules?
Generally, elderly women with deficiency of both qi and blood may take Bazhen Granules as directed by a physician. However, those who do not have the above-mentioned condition or are allergic to Bazhen Granules should not take them. If any discomfort occurs, immediate medical attention is recommended. The detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Can take
Bazhen Granules are suitable for individuals with deficiency of both qi and blood—meaning insufficient vital energy and blood in the body. In old age, due to bodily aging, consumption of qi and blood may increase. Therefore, for elderly women experiencing such deficiencies, Bazhen Granules may help nourish the body and improve related symptoms.
2. Cannot take
The main ingredients of Bazhen Granules include Angelica sinensis, Codonopsis pilosula, Paeonia lactiflora, Atractylodes macrocephala, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Poria cocos, and Rehmannia glutinosa. Elderly women who are allergic or intolerant to any of these ingredients should avoid taking this medication.
When considering the use of Bazhen Granules, elderly women should carefully evaluate their individual health conditions and consult a doctor before use to ensure safety and effectiveness.
