Dr. Yu Yongchao
There are several contraindications for consuming dried daylily flowers, including avoiding excessive consumption, caution for individuals with weak constitutions or cold-spleen and stomach deficiency, prohibition for those with allergies, avoiding simultaneous consumption with certain medications, and ensuring sufficient soaking and heating before consumption.
1. Avoid excessive consumption: Dried daylily flowers contain high amounts of dietary fiber, and overconsumption may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, potentially causing discomfort such as diarrhea and stomach bloating.
2. Caution for individuals with weak constitutions or cold-spleen and stomach deficiency: Dried daylily flowers have a relatively cold nature and may stimulate internal coldness, possibly worsening conditions and causing discomfort for individuals with weak constitutions or cold-spleen and stomach deficiency.
3. Prohibition for individuals with allergies: Dried daylily flowers contain allergens that may trigger allergic reactions such as itching skin and eczema. Individuals allergic to daylily flowers should avoid consumption to prevent allergic reactions.
4. Avoid simultaneous consumption with certain medications: Dried daylily flowers are rich in vitamin C, which may interact with certain medications and potentially reduce their effectiveness.
5. Ensure sufficient soaking and heating: Dried daylily flowers contain colchicine alkaloid, which must be adequately soaked in water for at least 2 hours prior to cooking, with water changes several times, to ensure full dissolution of the colchicine.
Although dried daylily flowers are nutritious and delicious, it is important to observe the above contraindications to ensure safe consumption.
