Safety of Zuo Gui Yin
Though Zuo Gui Yin is widely considered safe, 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.
