Introduction
Under normal circumstances, whether the consumption of Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets may cause excessive internal heat largely depends on individual physical conditions and the specific manner of use. This medication should be taken as directed by a physician. The recommended dosage provided in the instructions must be followed; the amount should not be increased or the duration of use extended arbitrarily. Individuals allergic to any components of this product are prohibited from taking it. During medication, a light diet is advised, and consumption of spicy, greasy, raw, or cold foods should be avoided.

Generally, whether Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets may cause excess internal heat mainly depends on individual body constitution and the specific circumstances of usage. Medications should be taken as directed by a physician. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the spleen and stomach functions are normal and digestive discomfort such as abdominal distension or indigestion occurs only occasionally due to overeating, short-term use of Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets at the recommended dosage generally will not cause excessive internal heat. The tablet's ingredients, such as Radix Pseudostellariae (Taizi Shen), Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi), and Yam (Shan Yao), are mild in nature and can help promote digestion and relieve discomfort caused by food stagnation; the body typically tolerates them well.

For individuals with weak spleen and stomach function accompanied by internal damp-heat, who are prone to symptoms such as dry mouth, bitter taste, and yellow thick tongue coating, long-term and excessive use of Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets may exacerbate internal damp-heat and lead to symptoms resembling excessive internal heat, such as sore throat and oral ulcers. In such cases, the weakened digestive and transforming functions of the spleen and stomach may result in accumulation of the medicinal components in the body, thereby worsening the condition of damp-heat obstruction.

Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets should be taken strictly according to the dosage recommended in the instructions. Do not arbitrarily increase the dosage or prolong the duration of use. Individuals allergic to any of the ingredients should not take this product. During treatment, maintain a light diet and avoid consuming spicy, greasy, or cold foods, which may impair the function of the spleen and stomach and reduce the drug's effectiveness. If significant discomfort occurs after taking the medication, discontinue use promptly and consult a physician.

Does saffron cause internal heat?
In general, whether drinking saffron causes excessive internal heat ("fire") depends on an individual's constitution and the amount consumed. Saffron may cause heat-related symptoms when consumed in excess or by individuals with a naturally "hot" constitution. However, individuals with a balanced constitution who consume saffron in appropriate amounts typically do not experience such effects. When drinking saffron regularly, one should first determine their own body constitution. Those with a "heaty" constitution should minimize or avoid its consumption.
