Generally speaking, chicken gizzard lining (Ji Nei Jin) should not be taken every day. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Chicken gizzard lining is a traditional Chinese medicine that functions to promote digestion and resolve food accumulation, as well as to relieve urinary disorders and dissolve calculi. Its medicinal property is primarily purgative and is mainly used for treating excess conditions such as food stagnation and infantile malnutrition. Continuous daily consumption may impair the normal function of the spleen and stomach due to its constant purgative effect. Particularly for individuals with inherently weak spleen and stomach function, this may exacerbate symptoms of spleen-stomach deficiency, such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and diarrhea. Moreover, when there is no condition like food accumulation requiring regulation with chicken gizzard lining, taking it daily will not produce therapeutic effects but rather keep the spleen and stomach in a continuously stimulated state, affecting their normal digestive and absorptive functions.

When taking chicken gizzard lining, it is essential to strictly follow the guidance of a physician or pharmacist and determine the appropriate duration of use based on individual medical conditions and physical status. Do not take it daily on your own initiative. Once the related symptoms have been relieved or improved, discontinue the medication promptly. During the course of use, pay attention to any bodily reactions. If symptoms of spleen and stomach discomfort occur, stop taking the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Additionally, ensure to purchase high-quality chicken gizzard lining through legitimate channels to guarantee its efficacy and safety.
