According to TCM principles, placenta should not be taken if the body is
fighting off a common cold, flu, or infection.
If you should get a
breast infection (mastitis), the pills should not be taken until
infection is cleared.
If symptoms such as chills, fever, sneezing,
aches, flushed cheeks, hot palms and feet or night sweats should occur,
stop taking the capsules until the body has fought this off.
The reason
for this is because placenta is extremely tonifying in nature and can
cause a pathogen to grow stronger and go deeper into the body according
to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, many
continue taking their capsules with no ill effects. Again, it is
important for you to listen to what your body needs and choose
accordingly.
