Apricot kernel seed (100g)

Description

Apricot Kernel

**Apricot Kernel** (*Prunus armeniaca*), also historically documented as *Xing Ren* in traditional eastern practices, is the powerful, almond-like seed securely protected deep within the hard pit of the apricot fruit. Highly revered across ancient Central Asia, Persia, and classical Chinese traditions, this intense, bitter seed acts as a focused tonic entering the lung and large intestine pathways. Sourced for its deep affinity with respiratory and digestive systems, it serves as an extraordinary traditional ally for clearing stagnation, moistening tissues, and restoring fluid harmony.

# Safety Precautions
* **Presence of Natural Cyanide Compounds:** Apricot kernels naturally contain the cyanogenic glycoside compound known as amygdalin (Vitamin B17). When consumed internally, amygdalin breaks down into hydrogen cyanide, a highly toxic compound that can lead to severe cyanide poisoning.

* **Strict Consumption Limits Required:** If consuming bitter apricot kernels internally, consumption must be monitored with extreme care. Never consume raw, unprocessed kernels in large or unregulated amounts, and strictly follow verified safe dosage protocols under expert supervision.

* **Digestive and Phlegm Contraindications:** Avoid using apricot kernels internally if you have a weak spleen, excessive dampness or wet phlegm, bloating, or acute diarrhea.

* **Pregnancy and Child Restrictions:** Due to the risk of natural toxic compounds, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, infants, and young children must strictly avoid consuming internal apricot kernel products.
