caution Rising Liver Yang or other upward-rushing states (marked dizziness or headache from Yang rising, not Qi sinking): the lifting action of Sheng Ma and Chai Hu may make them worse

caution Early acute external invasion, such as a new cold with chills and fever: tonifying now may trap the pathogen inside

caution Alongside a diagnosed medical condition, use only with professional guidance, as correct pattern diagnosis is needed

pregnancy Use in pregnancy only under professional guidance, because Dang Gui moves the Blood
