Safety. Low risk in ordinary amounts, and flatulence or loose stools are the most likely complaint. The classical caution is that it disperses Qi, so it is avoided where Qi is depleted; and the texts record a specific incompatibility, that it is not taken together with ginseng. That incompatibility is a statement about what the literature says rather than a demonstrated interaction, and it is reported here as such. Seeds stored damp will mould, and mouldy seed must be discarded, not dried out. No amount is given here.
