Will taking placenta cause an allergic reaction?
Disease description:
My husband has recently been taking powdered placenta (Zi He Che), but he has developed allergic symptoms. Can powdered placenta cause allergies?
Purple gourd (Placenta) may cause allergic reactions. Purple gourd has the effects of nourishing the kidney, enriching essence, nourishing blood, and invigorating qi. It contains protein substances that may cause allergic reactions in the human body, such as skin itching, swelling, and rashes. Particularly for individuals with sensitive constitutions, the risk of allergic reactions is higher.
Therefore, it is recommended to consult a physician or pharmacist before taking purple gourd to determine whether it is suitable for you, and to follow medical advice or instructions for medication use. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately and seek timely medical treatment. Additionally, long-term or excessive use of purple gourd should be avoided to prevent increasing the body's burden or causing other adverse reactions.
