Fengyoujing, commonly considered an external medicine, has its instructions clearly stating its usage as "External: Apply to the affected area. Oral: 4-6 drops at a time." Can it really be ingested?
"That's right, oral administration is also fine," experts point out. The active ingredients in Fengyoujing are actually traditional Chinese medicines. For example, using it to treat intractable hiccups is a form of oral administration. For toothaches, you can also apply one or two drops, or a cotton ball soaked in it, to the painful area to relieve pain. For abdominal pain, in addition to applying it to the abdomen, you can also dilute a few drops in water and drink it.
However, Fengyoujing has a pungent odor and an unpleasant taste. Moreover, its various Chinese and Western medicine ingredients have varying degrees of toxicity and irritation. Therefore, it is crucial to master the oral dosage, with a recommended maximum of 4-6 drops. Also, do not take it continuously to avoid addiction.
