Shui Hong Hua Zi · Fructus Polygoni Orientalis

Contraindications

  • Pregnancy
  • Marked deficiency without accumulation, edema, or food stagnation

Cautions

  • Shui Hong Hua Zi is a moving and accumulation-resolving fruit rather than a gentle nutritive herb.
  • Clinical identity varies by region, so sourcing and pattern matching matter more than the ornamental plant's familiarity suggests.
