Recently, an uncle wanted to lower his blood sugar, bought herbs online, and made a decoction himself. In the end, his heart stopped.小宝: What? Aren’t herbal medicines supposed to nourish the body? How can they be so dangerous?小刚: Because some herbs are toxic, like aconite. If used incorrectly, it can harm the heart. It may look like ‘health care,’ but it can actually be dangerous.小宝: Then what should people do when they get sick?小刚: Go to a正规 hospital and let a doctor prescribe medicine. Don’t trust livestreams, and don’t drink more based on your own judgment.小宝: I understand now. Things bought online aren’t always safe.小刚: Right. There’s a saying in China: ‘Every medicine has some toxicity.’ Learning to use medicine scientifically is the real way to care for your health.
