Cautions and Contraindications
* This formula is contraindicated in patients with cold or deficiency cold signs.
* This formula is contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.
* In addition to external factors (dry skin, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, infections) or internal factors (allergic reactions through ingestion or inhalation), skin disorders may be caused by conditions such as cholestasis, chronic renal failure, hyper- or hypothyroidism, diabetes, iron deficiency, and polycythemia vera. Optimal treatment requires these conditions to be ruled out, or confirmed and treated.
* This formula is contraindicated for long-term use. Identification and elimination of the cause is the best long-term solution. When symptoms clear up, re-evaluate the condition and prescribe some other formulas to address the underlying cause of the skin condition. Many times the patient may have another attack and it is usually due to poor dietary habit, so it is essential to ask the patient to be extremely careful with what they eat in order to prevent future break outs.
* This herbal formula contains herbs that invigorate blood circulation, such as Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis). Therefore, patients who are on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies, such as Coumadin (warfarin), should use this formula with caution, or not at all, as there may be a higher risk of bleeding and bruising.
