Posted - 23/3/2015 2:16:26 Earlier today I purchased a product from a Chinese health food store. It¡¦s called Fu Zi¡Xit¡¦s the root of the aconite plant. It is suppose to be safe because they ¡§process¡¨ it. I ingested a small amount shortly after I bought it and began to feel a tingling sensation in my mouth and throat¡Xas well as hypersalivation. These symptoms eventually went away, but I am wondering whether the product is safe to consume. I would like to get an opinion before I begin to use it in larger amounts. Is it normal to develop a tingling/numbing sensation when consuming this product? I only ingested a small piece about the size of a quarter. But I have been told you are supposed to ingest several grams to notice beneficial effects.

The herb is rarely consumed alone and in uncooked form, it is often boiled for one hour before cooking with other herbs.
