Prepared Tortoise Plastron … Safety & Interactions
Zhi Gui Ban · Plastrum Testudinis Praeparatum
Use with caution. Practitioner review recommended before use.
Contraindications
- Spleen or Stomach deficiency with poor digestion of heavy rich substances
- Patterns of exterior excess or damp accumulation without Yin deficiency
Cautions
- Prepared Gui Ban is heavy, rich, and slow-acting ... it is not a casual short-term supplement.
- Animal-source identity matters here, especially because tortoise plastron and softshell turtle shell are not interchangeable.
