Because Beijing grass is shaped like many kinds of grass (such as Malaysian grass), which will not have the same properties as Beijing grass. Because there have been consumers buying in the market already But when brought back to check, not Beijing grass Therefore, before buying for consumption You must first be confident that it is the real Beijing grass.

The drug should not be boiled or simmered. Because it will greatly destroy the medicinal properties Therefore it is best to use fresh squeezing methods instead.

While taking this medicine Should refrain from slang, such as hatching cucumbers, Chinese cabbage, morning glory, bamboo shoots, radishes, including foods considered cold Because it will cause the therapeutic effect of Beijing grass to decrease [9], [11]
because Beijing grass is a cold medicine Some people eat and may cause cold hands and feet. It is recommended to eat with hot ginger to help balance. Nevertheless The use of Beijing grass in cancer patients should be under the supervision of a doctor or specialist. This is for the safety and maximum effectiveness of treatment.
