The so-called toxicity generally refers to the adverse effects and damage caused by drugs on the body. Including acute toxicity, subacute toxicity, subchronic toxicity, chronic toxicity and special toxicity.
In ancient times, poison was believed to be the general term for drugs, toxicity was the bias of drugs, and toxicity was also believed to be a sign of the size of side effects of drug toxicity. Later books on Materia Medica indicate toxicity, large poison, small poison, etc. under their drug properties and tastes, which mostly refer to the size of the toxic side effects of the drug.
Modern medicine believes that the so-called poison is a substance that can damage the human body and cause certain functional disorders, diseases and even death. The side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are different from toxic effects. Side effects refer to discomfort reactions that are not related to the treatment needs at common doses. They are generally mild and have little harm to the body. They can disappear on their own after stopping the medication.
Some Chinese medicine poisoning symptoms include: dry mouth and tongue, burning throat, hoarseness, nausea and vomiting, dry and flushed skin, dilated pupils, blurred vision, slow or disappearance of light response, tachycardia, deepening breathing, mania, hallucination, delirium, , motor disorder, blurred consciousness and other symptoms.

Asarum Severely, headache, urgency, vomiting, irritability, neck stiffness, increased body temperature and blood pressure, muscle tremor, and whole body tension. You can quickly turn to the spasm state, with tight teeth, horn arch retraction, and confusion.
Currently, there are more than 12,800 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, and there are only more than 100 kinds of poisoning reported, many of which are highly toxic drugs that are rarely used in clinical practice. The toxic side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are related to the dosage and whether the drug is used correctly. Most traditional Chinese medicine varieties are safe now, which is a major advantage of traditional Chinese medicine. Especially compared with the harm caused by the chemical synthetic drug of Western medicine , the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine are more prominent. This is also the main reason why Chinese medicine is favored by the world today by advocating returning to nature and returning to nature.
