Safety and Cautions of YU DAI WAN

Astringent nature could cause constipation.  This may not be a problem with pill version, which contains moistening herbs. 

Pregnant and nursing women should always consult their health care provider before taking any supplement

Traditional Chinese Medicine is powerful and reliable, but it can be complex. As TCM is not based on symptoms alone, self-diagnosis and self-treatment aren't recommended. Best to start a low cost online-herbal-consultation.

YU DAI WAN's Dosage and Administration

Tablets: 5 tablets 2-3 times a day, or as prescribed.

Granules: 2-4 grams, taken 2-3 times a day, best on an empty stomach

Whole Herbs: Boiling time should be at least 40 minutes, after which time the dregs are strained out and the "tea" is taken warm or at room temperature.  Good quality herbs will permit a second boiling.

Using a container made of ceramic, glass, or stainless steel (Don't use aluminum, iron or copper) boil 1 packet of herbs in 1-2 quarts (2 liters) of water until 2 cups of medicine remain. Adjust the lid to regulate water evaporation.

Strain herbs; save and refrigerate for a second boiling. Drink 1 cup in the AM. And 1 cup in the PM. If desired, repeat the following day, using the saved herbs from the refrigerator.

Tips on Taking Herbs: The potent odors and flavors of Chinese herbs are legendary. Boiling the herbs and drinking the tea will provide the fullest experience of these medicines. Be sure to ventilate the room to reduce the strong odors.  Holding your nose (or your breath) while drinking the herbs virtually eliminates the taste, and taking something sweet afterwards will eliminate any aftertaste.

Always refrigerate herbs and medicine you intend to re-use or take later.  Reheat refrigerated liquids to room or body temperature before drinking them.
