Traditional empirical knowledge makes it difficult to quantify toxicity thresholds, leading to several challenges in TCM toxicity research: mechanistic ambiguity (multitarget effects complicate toxicological mechanism elucidation), unclear material basis (lack of systematic characterization of component transformations and novel toxic substances arising from processing and formulation), rough dosing (variability in bioactivity makes it difficult to define safety windows), and reliance on experience (individualized treatments hinder standardized evaluation)
It can include extreme tiredness or exhaustion that prevents you from doing activities of normal life
