Introduction
Generally speaking, Heishunpian can be used as an adjunct to treat gynecological inflammation to some extent and is recommended for use under a doctor's guidance. Heishunpian has a pungent and sweet taste, is strongly hot in nature, and enters the Heart, Kidney, and Spleen meridians. It has multiple therapeutic effects, including dispelling cold to relieve pain, warming fire to assist yang, and promoting circulation to remove obstruction. It can effectively alleviate cold-dampness-related gynecological inflammations, such as cold uterus (gonghan) and dysmenorrhea, by dispersing cold and relieving pain.

Generally speaking, Heishun Pian can, to some extent, assist in the treatment of gynecological inflammation, and it is recommended to use this medication under the guidance of a physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:

　　

Heishun Pian has a pungent and sweet taste and is highly hot in property. It acts on the heart, kidney, and spleen meridians, exerting multiple therapeutic effects such as dispersing cold to relieve pain, replenishing fire to assist yang, and promoting circulation to remove bi syndrome. It has a certain analgesic and cold-dispersing effect on gynecological inflammations caused by cold, such as cold uterus and dysmenorrhea. At the same time, the pungent and hot nature of Heishun Pian helps supplement the body's yang energy. When women experience gynecological issues due to kidney yang deficiency, such as irregular menstruation and abnormal vaginal discharge, Heishun Pian can help alleviate these symptoms by replenishing fire and supporting yang.

However, during the acute exacerbation phase of gynecological inflammation when the inflammatory response is strong, using Heishun Pian may worsen the local inflammatory response due to its warming properties, thus being unfavorable for the resolution of inflammation. Patients should choose appropriate treatment methods according to their individual conditions under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety and effectiveness.

In daily life, patients are advised to maintain good lifestyle habits and personal hygiene, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, which can aid in disease recovery.

Why does the tongue become numb after taking Heishunpian, and what should be done?
Although processed black顺片 (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) has reduced toxicity through processing, if the processing time is insufficient or the method is improper, toxic components such as residual aconitine may remain in higher amounts. This can easily stimulate the nerves after ingestion, causing symptoms such as numbness of the tongue. Discontinue use immediately, switch to black顺片 that has been properly processed and obtained through正规 channels, and monitor whether symptoms improve. Black顺片 has strict dosage requirements; overdosage can lead to excessively high drug concentrations in the body.
