When Not to Use BACKBONE: Safety Cautions and Side Effects
- Do not use for upper back pain. Much upper back pain is due to an excessive build-up of Qi in the head, neck, and shoulders. Adding stimulating Yang building herbs such as those in BACKBONE could, at least theoretically, exacerbate upper-body pain.
- This is a potentially stimulating formula. Do not use with fever or excess heat conditions. Use cautiously with Deficiency Heat conditions.
This supplement is intended for health care professionals or for those educated in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
TCM is powerful and reliable, but it can also be complex. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment aren't usually recommended, especially in long-term or re-occuring conditions. Best to start an e-mail, phone, or TeleVisit at Online-Herbal-Consultation.
