Why Should Individuals with Allergic Constitutions Use Renshen Jianpi Pills with Caution?
Disease description:
My younger sister has an allergic constitution. Recently, she wanted to take traditional Chinese medicine but couldn’t. Why should individuals with an allergic constitution use Shenling Baizhu Wan (Ginseng and Polyporus Powder) with caution?

Dr. Zeng Chaofen
Ren Shen Jian Pi Wan is primarily used to tonify qi and blood, strengthen the spleen, and nourish the heart. It is mainly indicated for conditions such as qi and blood deficiency, palpitations, insomnia, poor appetite, fatigue, sallow complexion, scanty menstruation, and pallor. Individuals with robust physical constitution and no deficiency patterns should avoid taking this formula. Patients with allergic constitutions should also refrain from using it, as it may adversely affect their health. Its principal ingredients include ginseng (Panax ginseng), white atractylodes rhizome (Atractylodes macrocephala), poria (Poria cocos), licorice root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), Chinese angelica (Angelica sinensis), costus root (Saussurea lappa), polygala root (Polygala tenuifolia), and longan aril (Dimocarpus longan).
