Will my skin turn yellow after taking Chinese medicine?

Many people choose to use Chinese medicine for conditioning after they become ill, because Chinese medicine causes much less damage to the body than Western medicine. However, many friends who often take Chinese medicine find that their skin is gradually turning dark yellow. Many people believe that this is caused by the pigmentation drugs in Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine can really cause this situation. So, will taking Chinese medicine turn your skin yellow?

First, will your skin turn yellow after taking Chinese medicine? No. It can cure diseases and save lives. There are many reasons for a yellow face. The most common one is congenital carotene metabolism-converting enzyme deficiency. If you eat more yellow or red food, your face will become more yellow. Another common reason is that picky eating and unbalanced nutrition can also cause a yellow face. If this is the case, it is easy to deal with. Correct your eating habits, eat more meat, pomegranates, papayas, drink milk, almond milk, etc.; persist, and your complexion will definitely become whiter and rosy. Also, if you often stay up late and have an irregular lifestyle, your complexion will turn yellow. A person's complexion is closely related to his or her physical health. Doctors often use the patient's complexion as a reference for diagnosing illness. This is because the strength and weakness of a person's qi and blood is often reflected in the face. A healthy person has a rosy complexion, indicating abundant blood and qi; while a person who is unwell has a pale complexion, indicating deficiency of blood and qi. Generally speaking, a healthy person's complexion is usually slightly yellow, rosy and shiny; unhealthy people often show a variety of abnormal complexions, such as pale, flushed, cyanosis, yellowing, black, etc.

Second, although the color of Chinese medicine is not good-looking, it will never directly appear on the face. For example, your face will not turn yellow if you eat too many bananas, and your face will not turn green if you eat too many green peppers. The spleen and stomach have the function of absorption and transformation, which will convert the food eaten into the necessary nutrients. Drugs are also converted into substances with different functional properties to treat physical diseases. If your face turns yellow after taking the medicine, it only means that some ingredients in the medicine may not be particularly suitable for this patient.

Will your skin turn yellow after taking Chinese medicine? It is pure nonsense to say that drinking Chinese medicine will make your face darker, which shows that these people do not understand the essence of Chinese medicine at all. As we all know, Chinese medicine is about treating diseases by seeking their causes. That is to say, a good Chinese medicine doctor will not forget to adjust the balance of your entire body's Qi, blood, Yin and Yang even when prescribing menstruation-regulating medicine for you. So if the treatment is appropriate, drinking Chinese medicine will only make your complexion healthier and healthier. How could it not become more and more yellow? The normal complexion of Chinese people should be yellowish-white with a slightly moist color. If the Chinese medicine your doctor prescribes for you is completely effective, then after a period of treatment not only will your menstruation gradually return to normal but your complexion will also get better and better. This is the holistic concept of Chinese medicine. There is no reason to say that one’s complexion may become worse if one’s menstruation improves.
