Fu Zi toxicity

[Guest guest]

I posted a question a couple of days ago about toxicity S/Sx, but I did find some some information in my Chinese Herb Selection Guide by Belanger.

In the notes to Fu Zi it states: ... Add Gan Jiang + Gan Cao, Overdose / Faulty Processed: Possible Burning Mouth, Salivation, Nausea, Numbness of extremities/whole body, dizziness, blurred vision, dyspnea, pallor, cold, clammy skin, possible death Antidote: 1-2% Tannic Acid, if neccassary, emetics, activated charcoal, IV Glusose-Saline, use stimulants, keep warm.
