Excessive consumption of bitter buckwheat tea may lead to coldness in the stomach, resulting in symptoms such as diarrhea and acid reflux. Additionally, individuals allergic to bitter buckwheat should use it with caution, as a small number of people may experience skin itching, asthma, or dizziness after drinking bitter buckwheat tea. Moreover, consuming this tea on an empty stomach may intensify hunger—particularly in individuals with hypoglycemia—who may experience a further drop in blood glucose levels.
