What are the disadvantages of sulfur fumigation medicines, such as angelica, wolfberry, dangshen, and ginger?

First of all, sulfur is impure, and monomeric sulfur will remain in it. When it encounters oxygen, it forms sulfur oxide. When eaten, it turns into sulfurous acid when it comes into contact with liquid, which destroys the vitamin B1 in the medicine and can also cause Calcium forms insoluble substances that affect the body's absorption of calcium. Moreover, free sulfurous acid is very irritating to the gastrointestinal tract.

Secondly, sulfur also contains toxic elements such as lead, arsenic, and thallium, which will turn into volatile toxic substances such as lead vapor, arsenic oxide, and thallium oxide during the fumigation process. The accumulation effect of heavy metals can harm hematopoietic function, poison the gastrointestinal tract, and even poison the nervous system and damage heart and kidney functions.

So if you take these medicines, not only will the therapeutic effect be almost non-existent, it will also be almost equivalent to chronic suicide.
