Arborvitae Seed … Safety & Interactions
Bai Zi Ren · Semen Platycladi
Contraindications
- Loose stools from Spleen deficiency
- Copious phlegm or nausea from rich oily seeds
Cautions
- Because Bai Zi Ren is oily and moistening, larger doses may aggravate diarrhea or weak digestion in cold, loose patients.
- Sleep-focused traditional use does not make the herb interchangeable with pharmaceutical sedatives, though additive drowsiness is still possible in sensitive users.
