Spatholobus Stem … Safety & Interactions

Ji Xue Teng · Caulis Spatholobi

Contraindications

  • Pregnancy
  • Active bleeding without Blood stasis
  • Loose stools or weak digestion when warm Blood-moving herbs aggravate the pattern

Cautions

  • Ji Xue Teng is gentler than harsher Blood invigoration herbs, but it still moves Blood and is not a casual pregnancy-safe tonic.
  • Identity matters because the Ji Xue Teng name has a long adulteration history across several unrelated red-sap vines.

Drug Interactions
