But did not expect, a few cups of wine after a few people have nausea, vomiting, numbness in the limbs of the symptoms. At that time, the consciousness is still awake a few people immediately called an ambulance.
In the ambulance 4 people's symptoms began to worsen, after the rescue 3 people were sent to the ICU to receive treatment, another person because of the amount of alcohol consumed, was transferred to the emergency room for observation. At present, all 4 people are not out of life-threatening. After testing, the culprit of this tragedy is the very medicinal wine they drank, which contains aconitine.
Aconite poisoning is actually not uncommon. Mr. Wang from Zhuhai because he has gout, so he went online to buy his own herbal decoction. Taking the first two days nothing wrong, but did not expect to the third day, he appeared tongue numbness, general weakness and vomiting and other symptoms, but also fainted on the ground.

After examination, it was found that Mr. Wang drank traditional Chinese medicine containing raw epiphyllum, which contains aconitine, and overdose is easy to be poisoned. Fortunately, his family sent to the hospital in time, Mr. Wang saved his life.
These cases are all warning people, don't touch the aconitine, the critical moment may kill you!
I. What is aconitine?
Aconitine is one of the main ingredients within the genus Aconitum of the family Mulleinaceae, the common Chuanwu, Caowu, appendicitis within the component. Clinically, aconitine is mainly used for analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anesthesia, and blood pressure reduction, etc. The folk use of aconitine herbal remedies is mostly used for the treatment of bruises, joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis.
But aconitine is a very toxic ingredient, pure aconitine only 0.2mg can lead to physical poisoning, 2-4mg can lead to death. China's "medical use of toxic drugs management measures" within the composition of Chinese herbal medicine containing aconitine included in the strict management, it is toxic Chinese herbal medicine, can not be consumed as ordinary medicinal meals, food.
Aconite poisoning can be mainly manifested as nausea, vomiting, panic and diarrhea and abdominal pain, some serious coma, arrhythmia, respiratory failure, and even death. If you have accidentally consumed food containing aconitine, you should seek medical treatment promptly after you realize that you are not feeling well. If the patient is conscious, then let him drink a lot of water and press the root of the tongue and throat with fingers to induce vomiting.
Two, Chinese medicine is safe without side effects? Wrong!
By the traditional concept of influence, many people think that Chinese medicine is natural and pollution-free, daily will be Chinese medicine as health care products to eat, and some people even buy some of their own online herbal medicine, take on their own. In fact, this practice is very undesirable, not only can not health treatment, but also may hurt the kidney loss liver.
"Gastroenterology" published a study by China's Jiaotong University, the Chinese Medical Association Liver Disease Branch researchers, the study pointed out that the main drugs induced liver injury in our country for all kinds of health care products and traditional Chinese medicine, of which Chinese medicine accounted for 26.81%.
For example, He Shouwu. State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) as early as 2014, issued an adverse reaction notification, suggesting that He Shouwu has the risk of causing liver injury. There's also mugwort, which some studies have found contains volatile oils or water-soluble substances that can damage the liver when taken over time, and may seriously lead to cirrhosis.
The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia also grades 83 potentially toxic herbs, many of which are very common:
As the saying goes, medicine is three times poisonous, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are the same, all have side effects. No side effects of this misconception must be changed, the use of any drug need to consult a medical professional, Chinese medicine is the same, blind use of drugs may not be a "cure" but "cause disease".
Three, four kinds of Chinese medicine do not use to soak wine, be careful to become "poisonous wine"
Tan Han Tim, deputy chief pharmacist of the Department of Pharmacy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that there is no shortage of Chinese herbs contain toxic ingredients, these herbs can not be used to soak wine. Alcohol will promote the exudation of toxic substances within the herbs, drinking is likely to lead to poisoning. In addition to the aconitine-containing materials, the following kinds of Chinese medicine can not be used to make wine.
1, Cang Er Zi
Cang Er Zi is mostly used for rheumatism and paralysis, the amount of a single decoction of 3-9g, long-term consumption of large quantities will lead to inhibition of cardiac function, but also may lead to poisoning of the body, inducing kidney failure.
2, andrographis
Andrographis has a detoxification, insecticidal effect, but in the consumption of the need to go through a rigorous concoction, but also mostly for external use. Its main ingredient arsenic disulfide will become arsenic trioxide (arsenic) when heated, the use of unprocessed andrographis soaked wine heated to drink, is tantamount to serving poison.
3, strychnine
Raw strychnine has a strong toxicity to the liver, blindly drinking wine will cause convulsions, body tremors and other symptoms, severe may also induce respiratory distress, coma occurred.
4, Chuanwu, Caowu
Cheuanwu, Caowu within the aconitine content is very high, has a strong toxicity, intake is easy to induce excessive excitation of the nerve center, resulting in poisoning the body.
Dr. Tam Hon-Tim also said that if you have to make medicinal wine, you should pay attention to the use of medicinal wine formulas under the guidance of a professional doctor, and go to a hospital or pharmacy to choose processed herbs. Do not choose unground and concocted herbs to avoid safety hazards.
Four, safe use of Chinese medicine, follow the four principles
Chinese medicine is not everyone imagined so safe, in the daily use of medication must follow the four principles, to avoid improper use of medication to bring unnecessary health effects.
The Chinese medicine treatment emphasizes evidence-based treatment, which needs to be determined through the doctor's look and smell before the use of the prescription, rather than listening to who said that what Chinese medicine is good effect on blindly follow.
After using a certain prescription, it is necessary to stop using it in a timely manner, and it is easy to take large doses of Chinese medicine for a long period of time, which can lead to side effects in the body. For example, long-term consumption of licorice and rhubarb can easily lead to disorders of the spleen and stomach, inducing the occurrence of indigestion and loss of appetite.
Different people's physique is also different, so there is a big individual difference in the use of medication, we can not blindly go to buy other people eat good prescription, suitable for their own is good.
Many elderly people have underlying diseases and varying degrees of hepatic and renal hypoplasia, so it is especially important to pay attention to the use of medication, to avoid improper use of medication to the elderly health risks.
The phrase "medicine is three times poisonous" also applies to traditional Chinese medicine, and you should not blindly take traditional Chinese medicine to make medicinal wine or use traditional Chinese medicine as a health care product. If you want to use in the guidance of a professional doctor, do not blindly take, this is undoubtedly taking their own health joke.
