Lianhua Qingwen is a medicine. I have it at home, but it was not bought by my family and elders who attended the "health supplements party" and were distributed by others. However, our family did not take it.

Someone sent me a private message and asked me if Lianhua Qingwen is effective?

I told it:

must be answered in the most rigorous academic language.

first, treat new crown , there is no evidence.

Second, preventing the new crown, no effective evidence has been obtained.

This has not yet been valid evidence. It does not mean that it must not prevent the new crown, but based on the scientific evidence currently available, it cannot be immediately confirmed that it can prevent the new crown. It may be preventable or unpredictable. Just like if you ask me if there are any aliens, I can only say that there may be, or there may not be, at least judging from the authoritative evidence currently available, no discovery has been found. Not finding it does not mean that there is no, but it cannot be said that "certainly there is".

In short, treating the new coronavirus, Lianhua Qingwen has no effect, and preventing the new coronavirus, there is insufficient evidence.

So, does it mean that Lianhua Qingwen must be invalid?

is not true either. Effective. It can relieve pain when you have fever.

Why can it do it?

Because the active ingredient of Lianhua Qingwen is roasted ephedra .

The main chemical component of grilled ephedra is ephedrine .

In July 2008, Gu Xiaoxian published a research paper "Hidden Stimulants in Common OTC Medicines", pointing out that

can reduce nasal mucosa congestion and selectively shrink nasal mucosa blood vessels, which can reduce nasal congestion and reduce nasal clearance. Therefore, ephedrine is widely used to relieve cold symptoms.

In the drug instructions of Lianhua Qingwen, it is clear that its effective ingredient is roasted ephedra.

In other words, Lianhua Qingwen can be used to relieve cold symptoms, which is basically considered or close to a cold medicine.

is not just Lianhua Qingwen, but also Taino, Baijiahei, compound cold spirit, Yindefei, Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Isatis root powder, Cold spirit capsules, etc., all contain roasted ephedra.

and roasted ephedra is toxic, so it cannot be used frequently. Must be used as appropriate.

Pharmaceutical Instructions

If you ask me if you want to hoard Lianhua Qingwen, my answer is: self-convenience.

I personally won’t buy any medicines for backup. I am the leader of a traditional Chinese medicine culture promotion group, including 15 traditional Chinese medicine professionals. The old Chinese doctor Li Dongsong told me: There is no need to equip any medicine for preventive use.

More exercise, maintain a good attitude, which is more effective than anything else.
