Dr. Liu Wan
Psoralea corylifolia (Bu Gu Zhi) may cause allergic reactions, such as skin redness and small papules. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately or follow your physician’s instructions for antiallergic medication. During treatment, ensure adequate rest, avoid strenuous physical activity, and maintain a light, easily digestible diet. Alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited.
