To help mitigate the effects of bloodroot when taken orally
To help mitigate the effects of bloodroot when taken orally, I would suggest taking less then 1 gram or 1,000mg most people seem to tolerate about 750mg with no adverse reactions, this is archived by eating a heavy meal when taking the herb, eat about half of the meal take the bloodroot eat the other half of the meal one should not feel any side effects from the herb, but if in fact one does eat more food.
Contraindication
Contraindication from internally use: bloodroot should note be used if one is pregnancy, has high blood pressure, esophageal varicis, hiatus hernia, gastritis of peptic ulceration, and recent consumption of central nervous system stimulants. Use of emetics for more than three to four days can produce a serious medical condition if the assimilation of fluids is disrupted. This can lead to dehydration and severe electrolyte imbalances. Continual retching action from chronic emesis will strain the abdominal, gastric, and diaphragm muscles causing severe cramping and potential development of hernias.
Bloodroot used internally should not be administered to unconscious or deeply sedated individuals or in the event of convulsions, since bloodroot may cause aspiration of the gastric contents resulting in obstruction of the air passages.
